CAUTIONS
❏
You should have two boxes: one for the outdoor
housing, the other for the bubble assembly.
Protect the bubble assembly by leaving it in its
box until you are ready to install it.
❏
Do not run data and power cables adjacent to
or in the same conduit as line voltage mains
power.
❏
SensorNet 485 networks require 22 AWG
unshielded cable. Do not exceed 32 devices
per cable run.
❏
RS422 networks require 22 AWG shielded
cable. Do not exceed 10 devices per cable run.
❏
Manchester networks require 18 AWG shielded
cable. Do not exceed 3 devices per cable run.
❏
Always terminate the camera dome connected
at the end of a cable run.
❏
Length of power cable between a Class 2 LPS
(low voltage) ac source, such as a J-box, and
the dome depends on the ac line voltage. See
table below for cable lengths based on worst
case low line voltages for Japan (100Vac),
North America (120vac), and Europe (240vac).

❏
An elbow attaches between the mounting
structure and the outdoor housing. When
attaching the housing to the elbow, be careful
not to cross-thread the pipe. Also, be careful
not to tangle cables within the housing and
cables entering the housing together.
❏
The outdoor housing contains an environmental
PC board. Touch the metal housing to
discharge static electricity before touching this
board. Also, use a jeweler’s 2.5mm (0.1")
slotted screwdriver to tighten PC board
connectors. Wider blade widths can damage
connectors. Do not over tighten connectors.
❏
Do not make the mistake of connecting ac
wires to the nearby 3-pin relay connector.
A 3-pin plug is provided for the ac connection.
❏
When connecting the housing and eyeball
assembly to the outdoor housing:
−
Remove both slot covers to keep the
camera from overheating
−
Keep cables entering the housing away from
the heater assembly
−
Place tubing around the BNC connectors to
avoid shorting their metal surface to the
outdoor housing
−
Check heater fan operation. Both fans must
be on to prevent overheating.
