6.6 Camera/Lens Wiring
WARNING: Only use the cables specified
under "INSTALLATION, Cable Requirements"
for wiring of all cameras and lenses.
6.6.1 Fittings
1. The two large 1/2-inch NPT fittings accept round cable
with diameters from 4.3 mm (0.17-inch) to 11.9 mm
(0.47-inch). The small fittings will accept cables with
diameters from 4.6 mm (0.181-inch) to 7.9 mm (0.312-
inch).
Be sure to securely tighten all fittings to ensure
a liquid-tight seal. Failure to do so could allow
water to enter the housing and damage the
camera and lens.
If a sealant is to be used, be sure it is a neutral cure type.
Sealants that release acetic acid may harm camera electronics.
Use of "drip loops" is recommended on the
wiring outside of the rear end cap.
6.6.2 Conduit
These housings are designed to allow conduit to be directly
connected.
1. Remove the rear fittings and attach the conduit and
conduit fittings directly to the housing rear cap. The holes
accept 1/2-inch conduit fittings and PG 13.5 conduit
fittings. Any unused holes can be covered using the plugs
provided in the hardware kit.
6.6.3 Feed-through Wiring
These housings have the capability of having the cabling feed
through the foot of the housing. This requires the use of
feed-through mounts like the MTS-2000, or MTS-2030
J-mount.
1. Prior to mounting the camera. Remove the two dome
plugs located inside the housing. See Figure 7.
