Installation
1. Install SDP6 assembly on 1½’’ NPT pipe or mount by rotating
counter-clockwise until threads are fully engaged.
2. Reinstall the fixed camera bracket and the three
(3)
piece mounting
bracket.
3. Connect the CAT5 cable to the RJ45 jack on the IP encoder sub-
assembly inside the housing. If 12VDC direct power is required,
attach the included DC barrel connector pigtail to the power leads
using the provided butt connectors, and connect it to the barrel
connector lead on the unit. [Figure 2]
TIP
To use Butt Connectors, twist the leads together, place joined leads into wide end
of connector, crimp with pliers.
WARNING!
Ensure properly polarity (center positive) when connecting 12VDC. Applying
incorrect voltage or polarity will invalidate warranty.
4. Attach the camera to the bracket using the 1/4-20 x 3/8’’ wing screw provided.
5. Connect power and video leads from the encoder assembly to the camera. Consult camera instructions for polarity
requirements. [Figure 2]
6. Make final pan and adjustments to achieve the desired shot and hand tighten knurled knobs to secure. To make
adjustments to the lens settings, loosen the lens locking screws, adjust focal length and focus, and retighten the
lens locking screws.
NOTE
DO NOT use liquid cleaners (except for those that are specifically designed for optical-grade acrylic) on the Dome as they may
degrade the optical quality.
Troubleshooting
1. Software cannot connect to SDP6-IP, and no LED’s are lit:
a. Verify proper insertion of Ethernet cable at both ends of cable (if using POE). If LED’s are still not lit,
12VDC (center pin positive) can be connected to the optional power input to verify operation of the
SDP6-IP.
b. Verify proper voltage and polarity (if using direct power).
2. Software cannot connect to SDP6-IP, but some LED’s are lit:
a. Red LED indicates that the unit is getting power, and should be solid red. Green LED indicates network
status and should be blinking consistently if everything is working normally.
b. If red LED is on and green LED is not flashing, check Ethernet connections on both ends.
3. Software can attach to SDP6-IP, but no video is present:
a. Use a voltmeter to check voltage on camera cable leads to be sure they read 12V.
b. Check video output from the camera with a separate monitor.
c. Ensure that ‘‘MiniGlobe’’ device is selected for the subject IP address in Wren VMS under Edit Camera.
d. If viewing through Internet Explorer (‘‘IE’’), ensure that the ActiveX control has been installed (see
Windows and/or IE instructions for details on permitting the installation of ActiveX controls).
4. See also: Troubleshooting section in Wren VMS instructions.
