9. Install the Camera Trolley
As the camera trolley moves along the rail, it
transmits video and camera data to the PowerRail
module, which sends them to a monitor via a video
controller. Four sliding collectors on the trolley
transfer power and data to the rail.
Note: The four sliding collectors compensate for
linearity differences that may occur along the rail.
Two sliding collectors are at each end of the trolley.
Tools, Equipment, and Parts Required for
this Operation
• Proper lift equipment (scissor lift with extended
work platform is recommended)
• Camera trolley
• Bracket and associated hardware for RF
receiving antenna
• Attenuator for the RF transmitting antenna
• RF receiving antenna.
Procedure
A. Prepare the dome camera.
1. Detach the dome camera from the trolley,
but do not detach the cables.
2. Gently remove the lens from the dome
camera’s slot cover.
a. Gently swivel the eyeball of the dome
camera to totally expose one of two slot
covers.
CAUTION: Swiveling fast can
damage gears.
b. Insert a small, thin-bladed screwdriver
into the space between the cover and
the eyeball.
c. Gently pry off the slot cover containing
the lens.
d. Pop the lens from the slot cover, and
snap the cover back onto the eyeball.
3. The camera’s address is preset to “1”. Set
the required address for the rail.
4. Insert the dome back into the mounting
base, and twist it to lock it in place.
IMPORTANT! Ensure wires are not caught
in the latching mechanism before locking the
dome in place.
B. Remove the service block at the start end of
the rail holding the tape in place and slide
the camera trolley onto the rail.
With its antenna facing the starting end of the
rail, carefully insert the trolley wheels onto the
rolling track, and roll the trolley about 1m (3.3ft)
down the rail.
C. Install the RF receiving antenna.
1. Insert the plastic bracket supplied with the
antenna into the rail where shown and about
15cm (6in) from the start end.
Note: To enable transmit and receive
antennas to align with each other, bracket
holes used to mount the antenna must be
closer to the left side of the rail when viewed
from the start end.
2. Attach the RF receiving antenna to the
plastic bracket using two screws. Align the
antenna so it is directly facing the receiving
antenna on the trolley.
3. An RF attenuator matched to the rail length
is attached to the transmitting antenna. If the
rail length is different, change the RF
attenuator according to the table below.
CAUTION: The attenuator is
required to comply with the CE
regulation.
Rail Distance RF Attenuator
10–45m 30dB
50–75m 20dB
75–100m 10dB or 15dB
4. Connect the SMA cable from the PowerRail
module to the antenna.
D. Install the trolley stop assembly.
1. Thread two M8 nuts onto the stop screw.
2. At the start end of the rail, slip the second
service block, a spring, and a stop screw
(with nuts) into the stop groove and under
the strapping tape.
3. With the stop screw 5cm (2in) from the start
of the rail and its tip 3mm (0.12in) from the
top of the groove, tighten the stop screw.
4. Ensure that each block is lightly pushing the
spring against the stop screw, and the
strapping tape exits 50cm (19.7in) beyond
the rail.
