6 Setup
1. Inspect the three screw mount locations to ensure that the screws are snug
and the rubber seals are compressed. Do not over tighten the screws or the
seals will be pushed out of place.
2. Ensure that the supplied sealing plug is fully inserted in any unused cable
entry point.
3. Inspect the cable entry point you are using. Be sure cable gland or conduit
is properly tightened, achieving a good seal. Conduit or cable entry should
be positioned so water does not flow toward the camera. Use a drip loop
with cables.
4. Place the supplied packet of moisture absorbent (desiccant) in the camera
well where the cable is located.
5. Put the dome in place and tighten the four supplied screws.
6. OPTIONAL If installing in locations with high humidity, with the dome
loosely installed, use a dry air source (such as Radio Shack Dust Remover
Catalog #: 64-104) to purge humidity from the camera.
7. Insert the red tube from the dust remover about a half inch into the gap
between the dome and base. Blow the dry air from the can into the dome to
purge all humid air from the dome, replacing it with dry air from the can. Use
plenty of dry air. Pull the tube out, press the dome closed, and tighten the
four screws which hold it in place.

Prepare and Seal the Camera
Critical!
To avoid fogging on the inside of the camera due to trapped moisture, the air in
the camera must be completely dry.
