1. Unscrew the three Phillips screws located inside the back box. Remove the top portion of the back box.
Figure 2. Removing the Top Mount from the Back Box
2. Determine the mounting location. Use the base of the back box as a template. Mark the fastener and center hole positions onto the
mounting surface.
3. Prepare the holes for the wiring and fasteners.
4. Prepare the wiring for camera and lens power; refer to Table A and Table B for wiring distances.
5. Position the back box over the mounting holes and pull wiring into the back box. Secure the back box to the mounting surface using the
appropriate hardware for your installation.

EXAMPLE: An enclosure that requires 30 VA and is installed 94 ft (28 m) from the transformer would require a minimum wire gauge of
20 AWG.
NOTES:
•
•
Models with heaters require 24 VAC for the heater. The heater uses 58 VA. If the camera uses 24 VAC, add the camera power to that of the
heater and refer to Table B to determine the size of wire to use.
Distances are calculated in feet; values in parentheses are meters.

CAMERA AND LENS
To install the camera and lens:
1. For outdoor models, connect 24 VAC power input wires to the AC IN connectors on the terminal block on the side of the back box.
2. Extend the lens to the maximum length before installing the camera in the back box.
3. Attach the camera to the tilt table with the 1/4-20 screw, flat washer, and split lock washer (supplied).
4. To ensure that the lens will not hit the lower dome:
a. Place the lower dome over the back box with the camera and lens installed (do not attach dome).
b. If the lens touches the lower dome, adjust the tilt table assembly.
5. Refer to the manual supplied with the camera and lens for the following information:
•
•
How to connect power and video wiring
How to make camera and lens adjustments
NOTE: For outdoor models with cameras using 24 VAC, red and black power leads are provided for the camera. The leads are attached to
the terminal block on the side of the back box.
6. Loosen the two nuts on the tilt table assembly and position the camera. Tighten the nuts.
LOWER DOME
NOTE: If you are installing the dome outdoors, plug the 2-pin heater connection in the lower dome into the mating connector in the back box.
1. If the lower dome has a smoked or clear viewing slot, loosen the six retaining screws inside the rim. Refer to Figure 5 and hold the lower
dome up against the back box with the mounting screws lined up with the mounting holes in the back box. Rotate the acrylic dome to line
up the viewing slot with the camera. Retighten the six retaining screws.
2. Lightly apply O-ring lubricant to the O-ring. Install the O-ring in the groove of the trim ring.

3. Attach the trim ring leash to the T-shaped sheet metal tab on the retaining ring of the lower dome. Tuck the end of the trim ring leash
behind the raised sheet metal stop, and make sure the leash will hold the lower dome.

Maintenance
Clean the acrylic dome as needed. Be careful not to scratch the surfaces of the dome.
EXTERIOR SURFACE
Clean the dome’s exterior surface with a nonabrasive cleaning cloth and agent that is safe for acrylic plastic. Either liquid or spray cleaner/wax
suitable for fine furniture is acceptable.
INTERIOR SURFACE
SMOKED OR CLEAR
Clean the same as the exterior surface.
CHROME OR GOLD
The inside surface of a chrome or gold dome is easily scratched. Use the following precautions to maintain the dome’s surface.
•
•
Always handle the dome from the outside of its circular flange.
Never touch the coated inside surface. The acid in your fingerprints will eventually etch the coating if the fingerprints are not carefully
removed according to the Recommended Cleaning Procedure section.
•
•
If dust or other contaminants accumulate on the dome’s interior, remove the debris with compressed air. Compressed air cans are available
from photographic equipment or electronic supply dealers.
If heavy residue accumulates and cannot be removed with air pressure, rinse with water and immediately dry with air pressure so that
water spots will not remain. Avoid wiping the coated surface with direct hand pressure; it will easily abrade unless extreme care is taken.
If scratched, the dome cannot be repaired.
RECOMMENDED CLEANING PROCEDURE
If internal wiping is necessary, avoid hand rubbing. Instead, make a wick as follows:
1. Use a very soft paper towel. Roll a section into a tightly wound tube.
2. Tear the tube in half, and wet the fuzzy end of the wick with a solution of isopropyl alcohol diluted with water.
3. Hold the dome with its opening facing downward and wipe the interior of the dome with the wet end of the wick. Use a circular motion,
starting from the outside and spiraling into the center.
4. Use a new wick for each two passes over the dome.
