Installation
Unpacking and Inspection
All Vicon equipment is tested and inspected before leaving the factory. It is the carrier’s responsibility to deliver
the equipment in the same condition as it left the factory.
Inspection for Visible Damage
Immediately inspect the cartons upon delivery. Make a note of any visible damage on all copies of the carrier’s
freight bill.
Make sure the carrier’s agent (the person making the delivery) signs the note on all copies of the bill. If the
agent does not have claim forms, contact the carrier’s office.
Inspection for Concealed Damage
As soon as possible after delivery, unpack the unit and inspect it for concealed damage. Do not discard the
carton or packing materials. If the unit is damaged, contact the carrier immediately and request forms for filing
a damage claim. Make arrangements for a representative of the carrier to inspect the damaged equipment.
If the equipment must be returned for repair, follow the Shipping Instructions at the end of this manual.
Roughneck V900 Dome Components
The Roughneck V900 units consist of a base (which includes the camera mounting bracket with the
camera/lens assembly) and a cover with a clear dome; some models include a mask. Some units are
delivered completely assembled; others require lens installation. Refer to Figure 1.
Base/Camera Mounting Bracket
The base of the indoor unit is constructed of sand cast aluminum; the outdoor unit’s base is constructed of
aluminum permanent mold casting. The base is mounted directly to the wall or ceiling. Two cable access
holes are provided. A safety cord is provided to connect the cover to the base. The camera mounting bracket
is attached to a yoke in the base; the camera is factory-installed (some units require lens installation, while
other have the lens factory installed). The camera/lens position can be manually adjusted. A heater is installed
on the yoke in outdoor units.
Mask
A gray foam mask is provided with some units to fit over the camera/lens assembly.
Cover/Dome
The cover of the indoor unit is constructed of sand cast aluminum; the outdoor unit’s cover is constructed of
aluminum permanent mold casting. Both have a 3.5 in. (89 mm) diameter dome constructed of clear
polycarbonate plastic. The cover is secured to the base with four tamperproof captive screws; a special tool is
supplied to loosen the screws. A safety cord is provided to anchor the cover/dome to the base. A heater is
factory-installed inside the cover. Refer to the Maintenance section of this manual for instructions on the care
and handling of the dome.
