Description The DF5S Series fixed mount dome is designed for indoor use where there is limited space above the ceiling. The dome can be installed in hard ceilings or standard 2 x 2 ft (61 x 61 cm) suspended ceilings. The back box requires only 2.75 inches (7 cm) of room. When there is not enough room to install the DF5S Series back box in the ceiling, the back box can be attached to the surface of the ceiling. A special trim ring, the DF5S-SMKIT, hides the back box.
Hard Ceiling Installation 1. Locate the center point of the mounting location. Drill a hole in the ceiling using a 3/32-inch drill. Insert the compass tool into the hole. Use a pencil and the compass tool to draw a circle on the ceiling. Carefully cut out the circle. Figure 1.
2. Attach a conduit fitting (not supplied), safety chain bracket, and lock nut (not supplied). Install a safety chain/cable (not supplied) that will support up to 16 pounds (7.3 kg). Install one end of the safety chain/cable to the safety chain bracket and the other end to a support structure in the ceiling. 3. Prepare the wiring for camera and lens power; refer to Table A and Table B on page 8 for wiring distances. Pull the wiring into the back box through the conduit fitting. 4.
Suspended Ceiling Installation 1. Remove the ceiling tile from the ceiling. Insert the compass tool (supplied) into the center of the tile. (If necessary, use a 3/32-inch bit to drill a hole.)
