INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
MODEL
AND
PRESSURIZED ENVIRONMENTAL
HOUSINGS
INTRODUCTION
The information in this instruction manual covers the
installation, operation, and maintenance of the
18
and
Pressurized Environmental Housings.
This equipment must be installed by a qualified techni-
cian in conformance with national, state, and local elec-
trical codes. Read these instructions through completely
before attempting installation.
Model
is a pressurized housing suitable for
both indoor and outdoor installations. The housing is
designed to accommodate a variety of small CCD cam-
eras with appropriate lenses. It is constructed of seam-
less aluminum tubing, and the front window is made of
tempered glass. The
housing is available in two
lengths. The
is 18.7 inches long (47.5 cm),
the
is 24.7 inches (62.7 cm) long. The term
is used in this manual to refer to both models
unless specifically stated otherwise.
This pressurized housing is designed to meet military
specifications for resistance to destructive environ-
mental forces. See Product Specification 787 for the
exact military standard specifications such as tempera-
ture, moisture, and various environmental factors.
The
includes a low pressure sensor switch that
activates when the pressure in the housing drops below
4 psi. It can be connected to an external alarm, light or
other device to alert operators to the low pressure con-
dition. The pressure switch can be wired for both nor-
mally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) operation.
The housing is equipped with an adjustable mounting
bracket, a slide-out camera platform, and removable end
caps with a
connector on the rear end cap for
ease of installation and service. A fill valve and a
pressure-relief valve, which opens when the pressure
within the housing exceeds 10 psi, are easily accessible.
Model
is supplied with a thermostatically-con-
trolled heater that turns on when internal temperature
falls below 68” F (20” C). The heater provides 80 watts
of heating power. A humidity indicator, which changes
color if humidity level in the housing changes, is visible
through the window. Sunshields, Model
18-S
and
are available as optional accessories.
The housings comply with NEMA 6 standards and IEC
Classification IP67.
