GRAPHIC SYMBOL EXPLANATION
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within
the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the unit.
1. Read Instructions -All the safety and operating
instructions should be read before the video product is
operated.
2. Retain Instructions -All the safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings -All warnings on the video product
and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions -All operating and use
instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning -Step aapplies to equipment that can be
disconnected from the CCTV system without seriously
jeopardizing security. Step b applies to equipment that
must operate continuously such as video switching
equipment at military installations.
a. Disconnect this video product from its power
source before cleaning. Do not use caustic,
abrasive, or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning.
b. Use a damp cloth to clean the equipment. Do not
allow moisture or liquids to enter any vents. Do not
use caustic, abrasive, or aerosol cleaners.
6. Attachments -Do not use attachments not
recommended by Vicon as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture -Do not use this video product
in any location where it may be exposed to water or
moisture. This does not apply to outdoor camera
housings, outdoor pan-and-tilt drives, and other
equipment designed for direct exposure to outdoor
environments.
8. Accessories -Do not place this video product on
any unstable surface or table. The video product may
fall, causing serious injury to a person and serious
damage to the video product. Use only with a mounting
accessoryrecommended by Vicon, or sold with the video
product. Any mounting of the video product should
follow Vicon’s instructions, and a mounting accessory
recommended by Vicon should be used.
9. Ventilation -Slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation
of the video product and to protect it from overheating,
and these openings must not be blocked or covered.
The openings should never be blocked by placing the

other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

iv •• Important Safeguards X618 Rev 1298 V8400H-17-HT Housing Accessories
11. Grounding -This applies to video products
equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug
having a third (grounding) pin. This plug only fits into a
grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
12. Power-Cord Protection -Power supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the video product.
13. Outdoor Cable Grounding -If an outside cable
system is connected to the video product, be sure the
cable system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-1984, provides information with respect
to proper grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location
of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.
14. Lightning -For added protection for this video
product when it is not used for long periods of time,
disconnect it from its power source and from the cable
system. This prevents damage to the video product
due to lightning and power-line surges.
15. Power Lines -An outside cable system should not
be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or
other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside cable system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
16. Overloading -Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
17. Object and Liquid Entry -Never push objects of
any kind into this video product through openings as
they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never
spill liquid of any kind on the video product.
18. Servicing -Do not attempt to service this video
product yourself as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19. Damage Requiring Service -Disconnect this video
product from its power source and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following
conditions. Note that step cdoes not apply to outdoor
camera housings, outdoor pan-and-tilt drives and
other equipment specifically designed for direct
exposure to outdoor environments.
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into
the video product.
c. If the video product has been exposed to rain or
water.
d. If the video product does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions, as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the video product to its normal operation.
e. If the video product has been dropped or the
cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the video product exhibits a distinct change
in performance-this indicates a need for service.
20. Replacement Parts -When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by Vicon or that have the
same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
21. Safety Check -Upon completion of any service or
repairs to this video product, ask the service technician
to perform safety checks to determine that the video
product is in proper operating condition.

Introduction
The information in this instruction manual covers the installation and maintenance of the V8400H-H Heater,
V8400H-B Blower, and V8400H-DEF Defogger accessories for the V8400H-17-HT Environmental Housing. These
units must be installed in conformance with national, state, and local electrical codes. Read these instructions
through completely before attempting the installation of these units.
The V8400H-H Heater dissipates 60 W at 120, 24, and 230 VAC (Models V8400H-H, V8400H-H-24, and
V8400H-H-230, respectively). The thermostat is preset to activate heaters at temperatures below 40° F (4° C),
and to turn off automatically when temperatures rise above 50° F (10° C).
Model V8400H-B Blower is an internal fan that provides 33 CFM of circulating air. A preset thermostat turns the
blower on when temperatures rise above 90° F (32° C) and turns off at 80° F(27° C). The blower draws
12 W at 120, 24, and 230 VAC (Models V8400H-B, V8400H-B-24, and V8400H-B-230, respectively).
Model V8400H-DEF prevents mist from developing on the window. This thermostatically-controlled unit provides
12.5 W of heater power at 120 and 230 VAC (Models V8400H-DEF and V8400H-DEF-230, respectively).
All wiring is located in the rear end-cap, which provides strain relief and protection from shock hazard.
