] by twisting the dome counter clockwise. A mounting strap secures the dome
bubble to the base. Carefully move the dome bubble to the side or unscrew the strap and remove the dome bubble. To ensure the dome
bubble is not scratched or damaged, keep the protective plastic on it until ready for use.
4. Remove the camera yoke assembly [

] from its box and keep in a safe place until ready to install. See the section “Installing the Camera
Yoke Assembly” in this

.
5. Find the desired mounting location, using the base mounting screws [
1
] for the mounting location and the base housing [
3
] as a cutting
template.
6. (OPTIONAL) If conduit is not used, install the plastic grommet (provided, not shown) in the top entry opening [
4
] of the base housing [
3
].
7. Mark and cut a hole the size of the base housing center [
3a
] (approximately 5.65” [143mm] in diameter) and place the base housing
through this hole. The base housing lip (
3b
) should be flush with the outside mounting surface.
8. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to adjust the space between the anchor clips and base housing.
9. Tighten the base mounting screws [
1
] until the anchor clips [
2
] are snug to the back of the mounting surface. Do not over tighten.
10. Pull flat Cat. 5 cable through the top conduit opening [
4
].
11. You are now ready to install and configure the camera yoke assembly [
