Pendant-mount housings
Pendant-mount and flush-mount housings require different preparation of the mounting surface and different
installation procedures of the housings. Follow the instructions given here for pendant-mount housings.
Pendant-mount housings can be mounted to a pipe to lower them from a ceiling or to a wall-mount arm to
extend them from a wall. Instructions are provided in this document for both mounting methods.
Preparing the surface for pendant-mounts
Following are the steps for preparing the mounting surface if you are mounting the housing to a pipe. If you are
mounting the housing to the GEA-102 wall-mount arm, instructions for installing the GEA-102 are available in
this manual (
on page 40). If you are installing one of the other mounts, refer to
the instructions that came with the mount.
To prepare the mounting surface:
1. Following all local codes, install the pipe.
2. Make sure that the facility cables (data, video, and power) for the dome comply with the
3. Feed the facility cables through the pipe in the mounting surface.
•
Pull enough cable to make connections. You can always pull back unneeded length later.
•
How many cables you have depends upon how many video, data, and power cables. See
Installing the housing
With the pipe or mount now installed, install the housing.
If you are installing the housing outdoors and onto a pipe, you must install the rubber water-sealing boot that
provides an additional layer of water protection. Applying PTFE thread sealing tape (for example, Teflon
®
tape) to the pipe is required as a first layer of protection.
To install the housing to a pipe or mount, see Figure 11 on page 12 and do the following:
1. If you are installing the housing outdoors and onto a pipe:
CAUTION: For all installations, heed these cautions:
•
Complete all installation steps before supplying power to the dome.
•
To ensure proper operation of a PTZ unit, install the mount level.
•
For safety, the mounting surface, hardware, and procedure used for securing the dome
must support the weight of the dome, mount (if used), cables, and any structural or environmental
vibration according to local codes. See Table 1 on page 4.
CAUTION: Avoid getting rain or moisture in the housing so that the electronic components on the PCBs are
not damaged.
