Introduction
The information in this instruction manual covers the installation and maintenance of the V9317H Series of
Environmental Housings. This unit should be installed by a qualified technician using approved materials in
accordance with national, state and local codes. Read these instructions through completely before attempting
installation.
Vicon’s Model V9317H Series of compact, weatherproof housings is designed for smaller outdoor CCTV
applications. Two side-latches provide easy access, and a weatherproof seal protects the camera/lens
assembly from moisture. A latch with a loop is provided for a padlock, if required. The V9317H accommodates
CCTV camera and lens combinations of up to 12.0 inches (30.5 cm) in length.
The V9317H is available in nine versions. All versions of the housing include a protective sunshield and a blower.
The V9317HC-SB is created specifically for those installations that do not require a heater. This version does
include a factory-installed 120-to-24 VAC camera transformer. A 230 VAC version, Model V9317HC-SB-230
(with transformer) and a 24 VAC version, Model V9317H-SB-24, are also available. The V9317HC-SHB includes
the transformer plus a 120 VAC heater. The V9317HC-SHB-230 includes a transformer and a 230 VAC heater.
The V9317H-SHB-24 includes a 24 VAC heater. Model V9317HC-WHB includes a transformer and a 120 VAC
wiper and heater. Model V9317HC-WHB-230 includes the transformer and a 230 VAC wiper and heater. Model
V9317H-WHB-24 includes a 24 VAC wiper and heater. Model V9317H is used throughout this manual to refer to
all versions of the housing unless specifically stated otherwise.
The housings with heaters are equipped with two pad-type (strip) heaters, totaling 60 watts of heating power. A
thermostat automatically turns the heaters on when the temperature drops to 68° F (20° C) and turns them off
when the temperature rises above 80° F (27° C). The V9317H withstands winds up to 80 mph with outside
temperature ranging from -30 to 120° F (-35 to 49° C).
The blower in the housings is thermostatically-controlled to activate when the temperature in the housing rises
above 90° F (32° C) and automatically turns off the blower when the temperature falls below 80° F (27° C). The
blower circulates and directs airflow across the window to prevent fogging.
The V9317H housing and protective sunshield are constructed from heavy -duty aluminum with a light-gray finish.
The sunshield provides long-term protection from UV radiation and corrosion. The viewing window is made of
glass for long lasting transparency. All materials are corrosion-resistant or stainless steel hardware.
