Cable Requirements
For RS485 operation, PowerDome PRO requires video, power, alarm and data cables.
The video cable carries the video signal to the remote viewing site. If sending video via coaxial cable, a 75Ω pure copper coaxial
cable is recommended for distances up to 250m.
The PowerDome PRO series is powered by 24Vac. To determine the cable size, refer to the Power Cable Size and Length on the
following page.
The RS485 control cable carries commands from the keypad to the dome. An RS485 compatible shielded, two-conductor, twisted-
pair cable is required (Beldon 8723). Recommended cable size 22 gauge (0.64 mm).
Alarm cable is suitable or Cat 5 cable for longer distances up to 380m.
For FSK control, only a video coaxial cable and Power are required, the recommended coax is pure copper
coaxial cable and not copper-coated steel, it is also important to use crimp-on BNC connectors, do not use
screw-on connectors.
When using UTP video, the UTP video and RS485 control cables can share the same wire jacket, but must
remain as separate twisted-pairs.
Power Requirements
CAUTION:
For optimal video performance, all Top Cats must be powered from an isolated 24 VAC power source—fused outputs are not
adequate. Allowable voltage range is 20 to 28 V.
All domes require a 24 VAC power supply that provides isolated outputs to operate the domes’ pan/tilt drive,
camera and heater/fan (if applicable). The total power requirement varies depending on the type of the Dome.

Power Cable Size and Length
It is important to choose the proper gauge of the cable that supplies the 24 V to the Dome. An inadequate
gauge will cause a voltage drop resulting in incorrect operation.
The table below gives the recommended cable lengths of varying wire gauges for a Dome. Note that the heater
and fan reduces maximum cable length substantially.
