Mounting the Unit
The SVFT-MSH is intended for ceiling or wall installation using the optional Mounting Brackets. The primary
mounting surface must be a hard ceiling or wall able to support the weight of the entire assembly that is
approximately 30 lb (14 kg). It is recommended to use 3/8-in. (9.5-mm) diameter hardware. Mounting
hardware should consist of lag-type screws or bolts with accompanying lock and flat washers.
Also, be sure the area behind the selected location is clear of obstacles (such as steel beams, headers,
pipes, electrical wiring, etc.), which would interfere with mounting. Verify that there is access and sufficient
space behind the mounting location to route video and power cables and termination boxes. Refer to the
Cable Recommendations in the Reference section of this manual.
1. With the SVFT-MSH removed from the box and laid on a flat table, remove the Lower Dome Assembly by
uninstalling the nine (9) Tamperproof Screws. Use the provided Tamperproof Bit, located in the
Accessory Kit, for screw removal. Allow the Lower Dome Assembly to hang during installation.
2. Install the provided Liquid Tight Conduit Fitting, found in the Accessory Kit, into the Hole provided on back
of the Housing. Tighten the hex-mounting nut using an adjustable wrench until its snug.
3. Install the Mounting Bracket. There is either a Wall or Ceiling Mounting Bracket available. As previously
stated, it is recommended to use four 3/8-in. (9.5-mm)-diameter lag-type screws or bolts with lock and flat
washers. Choose one of the two available four (4) hole mounting patterns. Lift the Housing to the
Mounting Bracket and connect it using the four (4) pre-installed Tamperproof Screws. Use the
Tamperproof Bit provided with Mounting Bracket for installing screws.
4. Verify a maximum of 5 cables for power, video, communications, alarm and relay. Route the cables
through the Liquid Tight Conduit Fitting and leave about 12-in. (305-mm) length for connection to the
Customer Interface Board.
5. Unlatch the Customer Interface Board by pressing the latch and swinging it down about 90 degrees.
6. Remove the terminal blocks from the Accessory Kit. Cut and terminate all cables into the terminal blocks
in accordance with Tables 4, 5 and 6. All wired terminal blocks should easily reach their mating
connectors with the board re-latched.
DO NOT APPLY POWER AT THIS TIME.
7. Install the terminal blocks into the Customer Interface Board, swing the board up and latch it into the
Housing.
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. Vicon strongly recommends the use of
line conditioners, voltage regulators, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.
Caution:
Be sure to make pin connections correctly. Wrong pin connections will cause damage to the unit.
