In-Ceiling, Indoor Pendant and Outdoor Pendant models, respectively.
Figure 1
SurveyorVFT In-Ceiling
Enclosure
The enclosure is a metal shell that houses the camera drive for the in-
ceiling model. A safety cord and clip are provided to connect to the
camera drive during installation. In addition, a small hole is provided on
the side of the enclosure for connection of the lower dome’s safety
cord. A removable top cover, a 0.75-inch (19 mm) conduit fitting and a
pair of rotating flippers that give a convenient and sturdy connection of
the enclosure into the ceiling are provided. For in-ceiling installations
that do not use conduit pipe, a 0.75-inch (19 mm) strain relief fitting
provides solid cable anchoring at the enclosure. A customer interface
board, that can be unlatched or removed for easy access, is installed in
the top of the enclosure. All wiring is done to this board.
Camera Drive
The camera drive is comprised of an integral camera, pan-and-tilt drive
and CPU. It is designed for easy “snap-in” installation into the
enclosure or housing. The camera drive quickly and accurately
positions the camera in 360° of pan angle and 95° of tilt angle. There
are variations in camera type for magnification and color or day/night
usage. An additional thermostatically-controlled heater is provided for
temperature control on outdoor units.
Shroud
The shroud is a 5.4 in. (137 mm) textured black ABS plastic shell. It
has a 1.4 in. (35.6 mm) slotted opening for the camera. This shroud
conceals the position of the camera and snaps onto the camera drive.
Lower Dome
The lower dome is an assembly comprised of a 5.98 inch (152 mm)
diameter acrylic plastic shell, a trim ring and a safety cord. Lower
domes for indoor versions come in a choice of smoked, chrome or gold
finishes. Standard outdoor lower domes are clear and use 4 screws for
additional support. All lower domes are anchored to the enclosure by
the safety cord. Refer to the Maintenance section for care.
Housing
The housing for the SurveyorVFT indoor pendant configurations is a
molded plastic protective cover for the camera drive; outdoor pendant
configurations have a die-cast aluminum housing with a sunshield. The
housing has a 1.5-inch NPT pipe flange mount. In addition, the housing
is equipped with a safety cord and clip that is used to suspend the
camera drive during installation. Another safety cord connects the
lower dome to the housing. A customer interface board, that can be
unlatched or removed for easy access, is installed in the top of the
enclosure. All wiring is done to this board.
Sunshield
The sunshield is pre-installed over the housing used on the outdoor
pendant version to minimize the effects of solar radiation.
CAUTION: For any environment subject to moisture, use the
outdoor pendant model.
