2.
If using a pan/tilt with a feed-through cable
, insert
the camera/lens function cable in through the right fitting
at the rear of the cradle. Wire the functions as described
above or as needed.
Use of
drip loops
is not recommended on the wiring
outside of the rear end cap.
5.7 Video Coax Connection
WARNING:
Only use the cables specified under
INSTALLATION
, Cable Requirements for wiring
of the video coax connection.
1. Install the seal cap portion of the large liquid tight fitting
on the video coax cable and pull the cable through the
right fitting
on the rear end of the cradle.
2. Attach the BNC connector to the coax and connect it to
the camera. Pull any excess wire out of the cradle
assembly and tighten approximately 1 to 1
1
⁄
2
turns past
the point where the fitting starts to grip the wire. Failure
to do so will result in water damage to all electronic
parts. Use a tie wrap (included) to provide strain relief on
the video cable at the exit point (inside unit).
3. If lens control is used, pull cable through the small
bottom fitting. If lens control is not used, install the
3
⁄
8
-inch NPT plug provided in the unused, small center
NPT hole.
Be sure to securely tighten all fittings to ensure a
liquid-tight seal. Failure to do so could allow water to
enter the housing and damage all electronics.
5.8 Lens Wiring
WARNING:
Only use the cables specified under
INSTALLATION, Cable Requirements for wiring of
the lens control.
1.
If installing a zoom lens
, insert the lens control
cable with the installed seal cap in through the
bottom
fitting at the rear of the cradle. Attach the lens wiring
to the lens mating connector and connect it to the lens.
If the mating connector is not available, connect directly
to the lens cable.
NOTE:
See specification on lens cord for correct plug
connection.
Be sure to securely tighten all fittings to ensure a
liquid-tight seal. Failure to do so could allow water to
enter the housing and damage the camera and lens.
5.9 Final Assembly
5.9.1
Pull Seal Installation
If the
breather
hole is open, do NOT mount the
housing in a position where the front end cap is
pointed upward.
To maintain enclosure protection ratings of NEMA-6P and
IP68, the pull seal (provided in the hardware kit) must be
installed in the front end cap. It is recommended that the
pull seal be installed in a cool, dry environment to prevent
trapping moisture inside the housing (see
Figure 11
).
NOTE:
Pull seal installation allows the housing's front end
cap to be pointed upward.
