Installation
Mounting the Unit
The Surveyor2000-MSH is intended for ceiling or wall installation using the optional Mounting Brackets. The
primary mounting surface must be a hard ceiling or wall able to support the weight of the entire assembly that
is approximately 30 lb (14 kg). It is recommended to use 3/8-in. (9.5-mm) diameter hardware. Mounting
hardware should consist of lag-type screws or bolts with accompanying lock and flat washers.
Also, be sure the area behind the selected location is clear of obstacles (such as steel beams, headers,
pipes, electrical wiring, etc.), which would interfere with mounting. Verify that there is access and sufficient
space behind the mounting location to route video and power cables and termination boxes. Refer to the
Cable Recommendations in the Reference section of this manual.
1.
With the MSH removed from the box and laid on a flat table, remove the Lower Dome Assembly by
uninstalling the nine (9) Tamperproof Screws. Use the provided Tamperproof Bit, located in the
Accessory Kit, for screw removal. Allow the Lower Dome Assembly to hang during installation.
2.
Install the provided Liquid Tight Conduit Fitting, found in the Accessory Kit, into the Hole provided on back
of the Housing. Tighten the hex-mounting nut using an adjustable wrench until it's snug.
3.
Install the Mounting Bracket. There is either a Wall or Ceiling Mounting Bracket available. As previously
stated, it is recommended to use four 3/8-in. (9.5-mm)-diameter lag-type screws or bolts with lock and flat
washers. Choose one of the two available four (4)-hole mounting patterns. Lift the Housing to the
Mounting Bracket and connect it using the four (4) pre-installed Tamperproof Screws. Use the
Tamperproof Bit provided with Mounting Bracket for installing screws.
4.
Prepare the Termination Boxes and cables. There should be a maximum of 5 cables for power, video,
communications, alarm and relay. Route the cables through the Liquid Tight Conduit Fitting and leave
about 12-in. (305-mm) length for connection to the Camera/Drive. Install the Flexible Conduit into the
fitting and tighten the nut until snug.
5.
Lift the Camera/Drive and connect it to the Housing by attaching the Safety Cable Clip to the Latch on the
Camera/Drive. Allow the Camera/Drive to hang while wiring.
6.
Cut and terminate all cables. All cables should easily reach their mating connectors. Install all cables to
the Communications Power Supply Board and place each under the Cable Retainer. They are TB1
(Power), J1 (Video), J2 (Alarm) and J3 (Communication/Relay). Use the Vicon Model S28PS or S28PS-
230 power supplies for Camera/Drive power.
DO NOT APPLY POWER AT THIS TIME.
Reference Table
4 and the Wiring Section of the Surveyor2000 Installation & Operation Manual XX031.
Note: Vicon systems and components, like most electronic equipment, require a clean, stable power source.
Voltage irregularities such as surges, drops, and interruptions can affect the operation of your
equipment and, in severe cases, damage certain components. Vicon strongly recommends the use of
line conditioners, voltage regulators, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.
Caution: Be sure to make pin connections correctly. Wrong pin connections will cause damage to the unit.
