SURFACE MOUNT INSTALLATION
1. On top of the dome drive is an opening for an optional translator board. The opening has a cover that must be left in
place if a translator board is not required. A taller cover is supplied if a translator board is installed.
If you are going to install a translator board, follow the instructions that come with the translator board.
If you are not going to install a translator board, save the taller cover in case a translator board is ever installed.
2. Prepare the ceiling as follows:
a. Using the supplied template, drill holes for toggle bolts or studs. Refer to Figure 3 or Figure 4.
b.
Dome with translator board:
Punch out the pie-shaped section from the supplied templates. Using the pie-
shaped template, either cut a hole through the ceiling or make a hole with a depth of 0.25 inches (6 mm).
c. Drill a hole in the ceiling for wiring. Note that you do not have to run wiring through the ceiling; you can fasten
the wires to the ceiling and then run the wires through the air gap between the ceiling and the surface mount
ring as shown in Figure 5.
3. Connect the wiring and attach the dome drive to the ceiling.
You can plug the male RJ45-10 connector (also known as an RJ-50 connector) on the supplied interface cable (refer
to Figure 6) into the mating connector on top of the dome drive and then connect your wiring to the other end of the
cable.
Or
You can connect the supplied RJ45-10 connector to your wiring and then plug the connector into the dome drive.
Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 for installing the dome drive.
Refer to Figure 6, Table D, Table E, and Table F for wiring connections. Note that you can connect video using either
an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) of wires (refer to Table D) or coaxial cable (refer to Table E.) A BNC connector for
coaxial cable is attached to the dome drive.
If you are wiring more than one dome drive to the same transformer, connect one side of the transformer to pin 9 of
the RJ45-10 connector on all modules. Connect the other side of the transformer to pin 10 of the RJ45-10 connector
on all modules. Failure to connect all modules the same way will cause the cameras to be out of phase with each
other and may produce a vertical roll when switching between cameras.
4. Line up the tabs on the trim ring with the slots in the dome drive. Snap the trim ring and bubble into place.
WARNING:
Do not over-tighten the mounting hardware. Doing so can impede the pan movement of the
dome drive.
