HARD CEILING
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. Using the supplied template, cut holes in the ceiling for the dome drive and mounting hardware. Pull the wiring for
power, video, and control through the ceiling.
3. Remove the surface mount ring from the dome drive as follows. Refer to Figure 7.
a. Place fingers on the circular marks located on the sides of the surface mount ring.
b. Pinch the sides.
c. Lift and remove the surface mount ring from the dome drive.
4. Connect the wiring.
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 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.
