1.3 Connection in outdoor applications
1.3.1 Safety precautions
Coax grounding: If an outside cable system is connected to the
unit, ensure that the system is grounded.
U.S.A. models only: Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No.70, provides information regarding proper
grounding of the mount and supporting structure, grounding of
the coax to a discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of discharge unit, connection to ground electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Power lines: An outdoor system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines, electrical lights, or power
circuits, or where it may contact such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outdoor system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching power lines or circuits, as this
contact may be fatal. U.S.A. models only - refer to the National
Electrical Code Article 820 regarding installation of CATV
systems.
24 VAC power source: This unit is intended to operate with a
limited power source, this power source must comply with
EN60950. The unit is intended to operate at 24 VAC. User
supplied wiring, from 24 VAC supply to unit, must be in
compliance with electrical codes (Class 2 power levels). Do not
ground the 24 VAC supply at the terminals or at the unit's
power supply terminals.
Connection: The unit has connection terminals on flying leads.
In wet or outdoor installations make use of the VDA-455SMB
accessory or use a field wiring box with Nema 3 or IP55
protection level or better. Make the connections inside the
water tight compartment. After connections are made ensure
that the watertight compartment is tightly closed and cables
and conduits are properly sealed to prevent ingress of water.

1.4 FCC information
FCC & ICES Information
(U.S.A. and Canadian Models Only)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
– reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;
– increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver;
– connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected;
– consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
Intentional or unintentional modifications, not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance, shall not be
made. Any such modifications could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment. If necessary, the user should consult
the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for
corrective action.
The user may find the following booklet, prepared by the
Federal Communications Commission, helpful: How to Identify
and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems. This booklet is
available from the U.S. Government Printing Office,

Informations FCC et ICES
(modèles utilisés aux États-Unis et au Canada uniquement)
Suite à différents tests, cet appareil s'est révélé conforme aux
exigences imposées aux appareils numériques de classe B, en
vertu de la section 15 du règlement de la Commission fédérale
des communications des États-Unis (FCC), et en vertu de la
norme ICES-003 d'Industrie Canada. Ces exigences visent à
fournir une protection raisonnable contre les interférences
nuisibles lorsque l'appareil est utilisé dans le cadre d'une
installation résidentielle. Cet appareil génère, utilise et émet
de l'énergie de radiofréquences et peut, en cas d'installation ou
d'utilisation non conforme aux instructions, engendrer des
interférences nuisibles au niveau des radiocommunications.
Toutefois, rien ne garantit l'absence d'interférences dans une
installation particulière. Il est possible de déterminer la
production d'interférences en mettant l'appareil
successivement hors et sous tension, tout en contrôlant la
réception radio ou télévision. L'utilisateur peut parvenir à
éliminer les interférences éventuelles en prenant une ou
plusieurs des mesures suivantes:
– Modifier l'orientation ou l'emplacement de l'antenne
réceptrice;
– Éloigner l'appareil du récepteur;
– Brancher l'appareil sur une prise située sur un circuit
différent de celui du récepteur;
– Consulter le revendeur ou un technicien qualifié en radio/
télévision pour obtenir de l'aide.
Toute modification apportée au produit, non expressément
approuvée par la partie responsable de l'appareil, est
strictement interdite. Une telle modification est susceptible
d'entraîner la révocation du droit d'utilisation de l'appareil.
La brochure suivante, publiée par la Commission fédérale des
communications (FCC), peut s'avérer utile : How to Identify and
Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems (Comment identifier et
résoudre les problèmes d’interférences de radio et de télévision).

place).
2. Remove the trim ring and dome by pulling them from the
base.
3. Remove the inner liner (with sealing ring) by pulling it off
of the base.
4. Remove the pink protective foam.
3.3 Mounting the unit
There are several ways to mount the unit. The method of
mounting depends on the type of surface and whether other
mounting hardware, such as an electrical box, a surface box or
other accessories are used.
Note:
If the unit is to be surface mounted, then use the Surface Mount
Box (SMB). The SMB is sold as a separate item (VDA-455SMB)
or is included with the FlexiDome2X with the surface mount
option. Other mounting accessories are also sold separately.
3.3.1 Mounting tips
– Use the mounting hole template to assist in marking the
correct position for the camera to be mounted.
– Refer to the dimensions on the mounting hole template to
find the exact position of the screw holes and the entry
hole for the cables.
– Partially screw in two screws for the keyholes and use
them to temporarily hang the camera while the
connections are made.

and clip on the cover to seal it.
Figure 3.5 Surface mounting box VDA-455SMB
Note:
To ensure a watertight cable entry, use round cables of
between 5 and 6 mm (0.2 - 0.24 inches) for power and video
connection.
Note:
Use some silicon spray on the cable to help slide the grommets
onto it.
