Water Proofing 

Outdoor domes are IP66 rated which indicates they are 
dustproof, waterproof, and moisture proof.  Do not install an 
indoor dome in an outdoor environment.  Protect the unit 
from damaged caused by long term water wear. Utilize thread 
sealant tape and RTV sealant on outdoor units.

into place.  Do not handle the dome bubble with your 
hands. 

 

 
 
 
 

 

Make sure the installation site is sufficient in terms of 
structural integrity and/or available space before 
commencing the installation.  Maintain a safety 
coefficient of at least 4 when installing this product. 

 

The unit is shipped in the safest possible packaging.  Keep

your supplier for return authorization and shipping 
instructions. 

 

When using a wall mount, pendant mount, or corner 
mount, ensure that the mounting accessory can support 
at least 4 times the weight of the unit.  When using a pole 
mount, ensure that the installation is in accordance with 
the lightning-proof requirements stated above.  When 
mounting an indoor unit into the ceiling, utilize support 
wires if necessary and ensure that the ceiling can support 
the weight of the unit.
