5.8.1 Supply Power Connections
The HS9386 Series housings offer the user one of three
voltage configurations. The suffix to the housing model
number will determine the supply voltage required.
Any camera installed in the HS9386 Series housings must
be of the same voltage type as the housing. The integral
heater/defogger also requires the same voltage as the
housing. These housings do not contain step down or
isolation transformers. See the
Model Designation
chart
for suffixes and supply voltages required.
Power connection into the housings is to be supplied
through a minimum type UL Standard SJ cord
acceptable for outdoor use. Installation must conform to
applicable NEC and local codes. Use the
Recommended Maximum Cable Lengths
chart below
for proper wire size selection.

1. Use the liquid-tight fitting on the left of the
housing to route the power supply cord into the
housing.
2. Allow enough cord for connection to the terminal
block; approximately, 130mm (5in.). Strip no
less than 6mm (0.24in.) and no more than 8mm
(0.31in.) of insulation away from the wires
making sure not to nick the wires.
3. A screw/terminal lug is provided for securing a
safety ground. To attach the safety grounding
wire of the power cord (green 115volt,
green/yellow 230volt), first unscrew the terminal
lug and strip and crimp the grounding wire into
the lug. Next, reattach the terminal lug to the rail
assembly using the M4 x 10 screw and lock
washer provided. See FIGURE 9.
FIGURE 9 Securing the Ground Wire
4. Connect both the line and neutral wires of the
power cord to the terminal block. Make sure the
line and neutral wires are connected to the
correct positions on the terminal block that are
across from the appropriate colored wire. See
FIGURE 10.
FIGURE 10 Attaching Line and Neutral Wires
5. Pull any excess cord through the liquid-tight
fitting and tighten the flex fitting to 8.5N-m to
9.0N-m (75in. lb to 80in. lb). This torque rating is
approximately 1 to 1 1/2 turns past the point that
the fitting starts to grip the cord. Failure to do so
will result in water damage to all electronic parts.
Use a tie wrap (included) to provide strain relief
on the power cord at the exit point (inside the
unit).
Securely tighten all fittings to ensure a liquid-
tight seal. Not doing so could damage the
camera, the housing, or both.
