Preparing the cables

Your environment’s video cabling (coaxial or UTP) and the number of video, data, and power cables you will
be using will dictate the types and quantities of cables you need to prepare.

To prepare the facility camera cables, terminate the cable ends as shown in Figure 16. Allow approximately
3 in. (76 mm) of cable for making connections.

Figure 16. Prepared cables

When using UTP video, the UTP video and RS-422 or RS-485 control cables can share the same wire jacket,
but must remain as separate twisted-pairs.

CAUTION: Do not connect the 24 VAC power cable to the video or RS-422 or RS-485 connection or you will damage the

PressurDome. Do not supply power to the unit until you have completed the installation steps.

24 VAC power: Strip ends of twisted-pair cables

Video (UTP): Strip ends of UTP wires

Analog video and data wires can share the same jacket but must remain separate twisted pairs.

Video (coaxial): Terminate coaxial cable with BNC connector

Use only crimp-on BNC connectors. Do not use screw-on connectors.

Alarms and contacts (Cat-5)

Use Cat-5 wire to reduce the amount of cables passing through the wire opening.

Data: Strip ends of wires (UTP for RS-422 or STP for RS-485)

Analog video and data wires can share the same jacket but must remain separate twisted pairs.
