About this Guide

Cable

Connectors

This guide assumes that the outdoor mounting

structure to which the housing is attached is in

place and that data and power cables have been

pulled to the installation site. For how to install the

outdoor mounting structure, see documents

shipped with the structure.

About the Outdoor Housing

The vandal-resistant outdoor housing has an

aluminum sunshield cover, a high impact bubble,

and a stainless steel bubble cage that protect the

SpeedDome Ultra camera dome. Tamperproof

screws affix the bubble to the housing.

Bubble

ssembly

The housing is temperature controlled and

weatherproof. A built-in thermostat and heater

prevent ice from forming on the outside of the

bubble.

An environmental version of the SpeedDome Ultra

I/O board is used. Simply connect video, power,

and data, to the cable connectors and twist and

lock the dome in place. Diagnostic power and

communications LEDs ensure proper connection

and aid in troubleshooting.

Four alarm inputs and two relay outputs (one

normally open and one normally closed) are

provided. Surge protection is provided on all

external lines, including video.

2. On the top side of the environmental PC board, place jumper E1 across pins 1–2 for “unterminated”. Procedure Review the following procedure and prepare parts accordingly before installing the outdoor housing. This procedure involves: • Unterminating the housing, if necessary • Attaching the housing to the mounting structure • Attaching the camera dome to the housing • Attaching the bubble assembly to the housing.

Attaching the Housing to the Mounting Structure ! Video Video connects to the BNC connector exiting the housing. WARNING! Turn power off at the source before beginning this procedure. Power Power connects to the green 3-pin connector. If a “Street L” pipe or elbow is attached to the mounting structure, it does not mate with the housing. Instead, replace it with the ROENDC adapter pipe shown below. ! WARNING! Additional instructions for outdoor mounting are supplied with the mounting structure.

2. Apply Teflon tape around housing pipe threads and attach the housing to the outdoor mounting structure. See instructions supplied with the structure. Alarm Alarm wires connect to pins 4 and 5 of the gray 5-pin connector. Pin Color Designation 4 N/A Alarm Return 5 N/A Alarm input (3.5mA sink) 3. Apply power to the housing. 4. On the environmental PC board shown below: a. Press and hold switch SW2 and observe green (ac power) and yellow (comm.) LEDs.
