Installation
Camera mounting
The camera is designed t be m unted upright r hanging. By
nature f its rugged c nstructi n the camera is a heavy item and
thus requires a substantial and stable m unting. The camera can
be supplied with an pti nal m unt adapt r t all w fixing t
industry standard brackets, t wers r c lumns.
The m unt adapt r has tw cable entry p ints:
•(1) A pass-thr ugh h le in the end plate t all w the c mp site
cable t enter unseen fr m a c lumn, tube r bracket type
m unting, plus
•(2) A c nduit thread (M25) in the side wall t permit c mp site
cable entry via a flexible c nduit attached t the adapt r.
To mount the camera
1Thread the c mp site cable
thr ugh the appr priate entry
h le int the m unt adapt r
bef re it is fixed t the c lumn r
bracket.
2T av id placing strain up n the
electrical c nnecti ns, arrange
the c mp site cable such that
appr ximately 120mm f the
weatherpr f c nnect r
pr trudes ut fr m the smaller
plate that will c nnect t the
camera.
3Secure the m unt adapt r t the
supp rting structure using M8
b lts, washers and Nyl c® type
nuts where appr priate.
IMPORTANT: Always use sprung
washers and Nyloc® nuts in order to
significantly reduce the possibility of
bolts working loose due to vibration
during operation.
Cable entry path must be watertight t
av id ingress and build-up f water ar und the c nnect r.

the camera base and push the
c nnect r back int the m unt adapt r.
5Offer the camera t the m unt adapt r
and clip the lanyard nt the lug f the
m unt adapt r. In additi n t being an
essential safety device during
perati n, the lanyard is useful as a
temp rary hanging p int when the
camera is being m unted in the
inverted p siti n.
6Carefully n te the rientati n n tches f
cable c nnect r and camera s cket.
Align the n tches acc rdingly and insert
the c nnect r nt the s cket f the
camera base. Twist the c nnect r’s
retaining ring until it fully l cks int place.
7Align the f ur h les f the m unt adapt rs with th se n the camera base and insert the f ur hex
head b lts.
8Tighten the b lts t appr ximately 1.6Kg/m. D n t ver tighten b lts.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the lanyard is connected to the appropriate lug on the mount adaptor when
the camera mounting is complete. Also, double check all bolts for correct positioning and
appropriate tightness.
To tilt the camera head
When m unting upright, the camera head can be cantered t all w it a field
f view clear f the pan m t r secti n f the h using.
1 Unscrew and withdraw the M5 s cket head retaining b lt fr m the
middle f the fr nt f the y ke.
2 Carefully tip the y ke assembly f rward.
3 Re-insert the b lt fr m the rear f the y ke and tighten t
appr ximately 0.97Kg/m. Do not over tighten the bolt.
The camer's Setup > C nfigurati n menu sh uld be
adjusted t indicate that the head has been cantered, in
rder t ensure appr priate perati n.

Configuration switches
These switches set the address and pr t c l f the camera. If all switches are ff then the address is taken
fr m the camera’s internal mem ry and can be set using the menu. The default f r the internal mem ry is 1.
Settings related t telemetry c ntr l can be c nfigured using tw banks f switches (S1 and S2) l cated
behind a rem vable panel within the hub f the camera. T access the switches, rem ve the tw retaining
screws and rem ve the panel:

The 8 switches are the binary c de f the address s switch 1-1 is equal t 1, switch 1-2 t 2, switch 1-3 t 4,
etc. (p wers f 2).
F r instance, an address f 65 w uld be 1+64, requiring switches 1 and 7 t be n.

Oculus camera menus
Apart fr m the basic hardware c mmunicati n settings c vered in the Installati n secti n, all c nfigurati n f
the camera takes place using the internal menu. There are tw versi ns:
•A quick menu that c ntains nly the m st c mm nly used settings, and
•A c mprehensive main menu where all settings are accessible.
The tw menus are accessed in slightly different ways.
The quick menu
T access the quick menu y u need t issue a preset 198 c mmand t the camera. When using SSUtility,
click the Goto butt n, enter 198 in the p pup dial g and click OK.
Note: The Quick menu does not require a password to gain access to ke camera settings (and also
provides a backdoor entrance to the main Setup menu. Therefore ou are recommended to disable the quick
menu (Hide quick menu option) once all configuration settings have been made.
The menu c ntains nly the m st c mm n settings that may need t be changed during installati n r
service:
