Cable Connections
Both power and video connections are made to the printed circuit board (PC board) mounted in the housing.
The PC board provides a pendant cable BNC connector for video and a 3-position screw terminal connector
for camera power. Refer to Figure 1 and the Coaxial Cable Recommendations at the end of this manual.
Coaxial Video Cable
1. Attach the customer male BNC connector on the video cable to the mating female BNC connector on the
pendant cable. (Note: Pendant cable is taped to housing for shipping. Remove shipping tape before
making connections.)
2. Push excess coaxial cable back through the grommet and arrange the coaxial cable as desired in the
housing.
Camera Power Connections
Note: Vicon systems and components, like most electronic equipment, require a clean, stable power source.
Voltage irregularities such as surges, drops, and interruptions can affect the operation of your
equipment and, in severe cases, damage certain components.
A UL listed Class 2 direct plug-in transformer with 24 VAC 200 mA output is required for powering the
V894CSH and V894WSH cameras.
Power Supplies
Vicon recommends several power supplies, depending on the needs of the installation. Refer to the table
below. For other multichannel power supplies, contact Altronix Corporation at 888-258-7669.
