Pre-Installation:
 Before starting the installation of the DomeVIEW HD Weather-Resistant Outdoor Pendant Mount Dome,
please read this manual. There are several things to consider before mounting a dome camera enclosure.
 When locating the dome, consider camera and subject matter viewing angles, lighting conditions, possible
line of site obstructions and check for construction challenges where the camera is to be mounted. Pick a
mounting location to optimize the performance of the camera. Avoid locating lighting elements or direct
sunlight.
 NOTE: This Weather-Resistant Outdoor Pendant Dome must be protected from the elements and installed
under a building overhang, canopy or any other building structure and out of the direct elements and direct
sunlight.
 Vaddio HD-20, HD-19 and HD-18 PTZ cameras use Cat-5e cable for video, power and control. When
terminating the Cat-5e cabling, please make sure that each cable is marked and tested for proper termination
of all ends with a continuity tester. Please do not use the “pass -thru” type RJ-45 connectors.
 All work must conform to local building codes and should be performed by qualified
personnel. For the most obvious reasons, a ladder is required to install the
DomeVIEW HD Enclosure. Safety comes first, so please use safe tools, ladders and
installation practices.
 Always measure twice, and check your work, then cut once.
STEP-BY-STEP Installation Instructions:
Step 1:
It is easiest to mount the dome on the 1.5” NPT pipe mount
or wall mount and then install the contents of the dome to
avoid cabling problems as the dome is spun onto the pipe
mount. Generously apply pipe thread sealer (right) and
install the dome on 1.5” NPT pipe by rotating counter-clock
wise until threads are fully engaged. See Step 8 now if
positioning is critical.
Note: The camera and contents can also be installed on the
ground, but extra care must be taken with the cables when
the dome is spun onto the 1.5” NPT pipe threads - Installer’s
preference.
Step 2:
Loosen the two (2) 10-32 x .375” screws on the platform that
are key-holed and fully remove one (1) 10-32 x .375” screw
from the camera platform. Slide the two loosened screws
through the keyholes and remove the Universal Camera
Platform with the heater/blower attached to the underside of
the platform. The heater/blower circuitry will be accessible on
the back of this mounting plate.
Step 3:
The heater/blower circuit card receives power from the included 24 VDC power supply. This power supply powers
the fan and heater strip only. The power supply is connected to the +24VDC and GND terminals on the circuit
board to power both the heater and the fan. Pull the 18AWG 2-conductor cable (not supplied) through the 1.5”
NPT Pipe and connect the dome as shown on the next page
Step 4:
Pull the camera’s Cat-5e cabling through the 1.5” NPT pipe at this time.
