Installing the housing and cables

Installing the housing
With the pipe or mount now installed, install the housing.
If you are installing the housing outdoors and onto a pipe, you must install the rubber water-sealing boot that
provides an additional layer of water protection. Applying PTFE thread sealing tape (for example, Teflon
®
tape) to the pipe is required as a first layer of protection.
To install the housing to a pipe or mount, see
Figure 8
on page 16 and do the following:
1. If you are installing the housing outdoors and onto a pipe:
a. Spray the pipe with soapy water.
b. Slide the rubber boot onto the pipe and above the threads.
c. Wrap the pipe threads with the supplied PTFE thread sealing tape in the direction that the dome
will screw onto the pipe. Overlap the tape and cover the threads.
d. After you have attached the housing in the following steps, slide the rubber boot down the pipe and
fit it securely over the housing’s flange.
2. Hold the housing up near the pipe or mount. If you installed the GEA-102 wall-mount arm, make sure
that the safety chain is securely attached (
GEA-102 wall-mount arm
on page 40).
3. Feed the facility cables through the dust seal in the top of the housing. Allow enough cable length to
make connections.
Figure 8
on page 16 shows how the cables run through the housing.
4. Attach the housing to the pipe or mount.
•
For pipe installations, thread the housing onto the pipe. If necessary, first turn the housing
counterclockwise to compensate for the cable twisting.
Note:
Do not overtighten the plastic housing on the pipe mounting or the housing will crack and leak.
•
For wall-mount installations, use the fasteners that were provided with the mount.
CAUTION:
Avoid getting rain or moisture in the housing so that the electronic components on the PCBs are
not damaged.
WARNING:
DO NOT run any cables next to the heaters. Doing so could damage the dome or cause an electrical fire.
CAUTION:
For safety, the mounting surface, hardware, and procedure used for securing the dome must support the
weight of the dome, mount (if used), cables, and any structural or environmental vibration according to local
codes. See
Table 1,
Minimum load requirements of dome configurations
on page 5.
