About the Product

This weather-tight box (Figure 1) contains a Class

2 limited power source providing power to the

SpeedDome Ultra and SpeedDome Optima

outdoor camera housings.

Note: Because customer requirements dictate the

placement of components, your Sales representa-

tive will supply this information separately.

Important Safeguards

A 15A, 2-pole, ganged disconnect device, which

also provides short circuit and overload protection,

and has a minimum 3mm open circuit clearance, in

accordance with the National Electrical Code,

Canadian Electrical Code and applicable local

codes must be installed at a location readily

accessible to the equipment.

(Ein 15A, 2-poliges, gekoppeltes Ausschaltgerät,

welches auch über einen Kurzschluß- sowie

Überbelastungsschutz verfügt, und einen minimum

3mm offenen Schaltabstand aufweist, nach

Übereinstimmung mit den Nationalen Elektrischen

Regelungen und Kanadisch Elektrischen

Regelungen sowie lokalen Regeln, muß an einem

Standort installiert werden, welcher einfachen

Zugang zum Gerät erlaubt.)

Outside elements. To keep outside elements from

entering the box, always mount it vertically with

cables exiting to the side or down.

Wire routing. Ensure wires from the secondary

and primary sides of the transformer do not cross

paths within the box.

Adding access holes to the enclosure. The box

meets the IP66 and NEMA 4 standards for

weatherproofing. To maintain this rating, do not drill

into the enclosure. Use outdoor rated conduit to

maintain the IP66 NEMA 4 rating.

Installation

The box can be mounted either indoors or outdoors

to any suitable vertical flat surface.

1. Remove the cover from the box.

2. Discard the cardboard covering the

transformer.

3. Using the box as a template, mark locations for

four mounting screws.

4. Drill holes. If in concrete, insert anchors.

5. Place the box in its mounting position. Then

insert a 1 inch #8 mounting screw (not

supplied) into each hole in the four corners of

the box and tighten to secure (Figure 3).

6. Run conduit and ac cable to the box and clamp

the conduit in place using fittings suitable for

outdoor use.

7. Connect the ac line to Euro-style input

terminals 1 and 4 on the transformer using

2.5mm

–1.5mm

(12–14 AWG) wire rated at

75°C minimum, and jumper the primary taps of

the transformer according to the input voltage

(Figure 2).

Note: The unit is built for 240Vac (jumper

across pins 2–3). For 120Vac, use the jumper

on the primary side and the jumper in the

install kit and place one jumper across pins

1–3 and one jumper across pins 2–4 as shown

below.

8. Connect the low voltage power cable from the

camera dome to the secondary side of the

transformer.

WARNING! Do not run low voltage

cables adjacent to or in the same

conduit as line voltage mains power.

The length of this cable depends on the ac line

voltage. See the following table for cable

Changing the Fuse

The outdoor dome power source has two fuses

(P/N 5111-0017-21). To reduce the risk of fire,

replace fuses only with the same type and rating

(3.15A type, IEC127, sheet III).
