XX151-02-00 Rev 1206 Surveyor4A Fixed-Position Camera Dome 

Installation  

  5 

7.  Refer to the table in Technical Information for the maximum operating distances of Surveyor4A. The 

gauge of wire used determines this distance. 

8.  Strip approximately 1 in. (25 mm) of outer insulation off power cables. Then strip off approximately 1/4 in. 

(6 mm) of insulation off each individual wire. Attach the camera power cables to the screw terminal on the 
top of the enclosure according to the markings. The power supply for the camera must be 24 VAC. Refer 
to Figure 5. 

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. 

9.  Connect the video cable male BNC to the pendant cable female BNC connector on the top of the 

enclosure.

 ALTERNATE CONNECTION:

 For the model using the twisted-pair video connection, use the 

twisted-pair video wires as shown in Figure 5. Strip off approximately 0.25 in. (6 mm) of insulation from 
each individual wire. Attach each wire to the screw terminal on the top of the enclosure. This signal is 
polarized and specific wire connection is necessary. Follow the markings on the board for connections. 
Refer to the instructions supplied with the receiver for those connections. 

10.  Loosen the two (2) screws at the corners of the electrical box and line up the screw holes with the two (2) 

keyholes on the enclosure. Position the enclosure and attach it to the electrical box by lightly tightening 
the corner screws until the enclosure is secure.  

 

Note: Do not overtighten the corner screws; overtightening distorts the enclosure, making the installation of 

the lower dome difficult

.

 

11. Connect the safety cord (lanyard) on the lower dome to one of the holes provided in the enclosure with 

the screw that is provided.
