MOUNTING THE TRANSMITTER INTO A DF5/DF8 DOME The FT8301A transmitter can be mounted into DF5 and DF8 in-ceiling and pendant fixed mount domes.
Mounting the Transmitter into a DF5/DF8 In-Ceiling Dome The following procedure provides instructions to mount the FT8301A transmitter into an existing DF5/ DF8 in-ceiling dome installation. To mount the transmitter into a DF5/DF8 in-ceiling dome, do the following: 1. Mount the DF5/DF8 bracket to the transmitter (refer to the Mounting the DF5/DF8 Bracket to the Transmitter section). 2. Disconnect power to the DF5/DF8 dome. 3. Feed fiber optic cable through the conduit fitting of the dome into the back box.
8. Mount the transmitter into the back box as follows (refer to Figure 17): NOTE: In Figure 17, the pan bracket is removed from the back box for illustration purposes only. You do not need to remove the pan bracket from the back box. a. Do either of the following: • • If the dome is a DF5 dome, align the inner slot of the DF5/DF8 bracket with the slot in the pan bracket of the back box. If the dome is a DF8 dome, align the outer slot of the DF5/DF8 bracket with the slot in the pan bracket of the back box.
9. Connect the transmitter as follows: a. Connect power to the transmitter. b. Route the fiber optic cable around the inside of the back box toward the transmitter and connect the cable to the fiber optic connector on the transmitter. WARNING: When routing the fiber optic cable, be careful not to bend the fiber at a sharp angle. Doing so breaks the fiber. c. Using the coaxial cable supplied with the transmitter, connect the cable to the BNC connector on the transmitter and on the camera.

Disconnect power to the DF5/DF8 dome. 3. Feed the fiber optic cable through the wiring entrance of the dome into the back box.
8. Mount the transmitter into the back box as follows (refer to Figure 19): NOTE: In Figure 19, the pan bracket is removed from the back box for illustration purposes only. You do not need to remove the pan bracket from the back box. a. Do either of the following: • • If the dome is a DF5 dome, align the inner slot of the DF5/DF8 bracket with the slot in the pan bracket of the back box. If the dome is a DF8 dome, align the outer slot of the DF5/DF8 bracket with the slot in the pan bracket of the back box.
9. Connect the transmitter as follows: a. Connect power to the transmitter. b. Route the fiber optic cable around the inside of the back box toward the transmitter and connect the cable to the fiber optic connector on the transmitter. WARNING: When routing the fiber optic cable, be careful not to bend the fiber at a sharp angle. Doing so breaks the fiber. c.
