ACUIX™ ES PTZ Dome Quick Installation Guide
Pre-installation Cautions
All types of installations must be performed by qualified technical personnel and must be in accordance with all national and local mechanical and electrical codes.
Ensure the mounting surface and installation hardware can hold the combined weight of the scan assembly, housing, lower dome and mount. Any wall or ceiling
mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the mount used and use best installation practice appropriate for the structure and
material the mount is being attached to.
To prevent damage to the mainboard, follow standard industry precautions for electrostatic discharge sensitive devices.
Cable preparation should be completed prior to the installation. Each dome requires 24V AC at 1 A or 12V DC at 1.5 A. The power supply should be located as
close to the dome as possible for service and electrical isolation purposes.
How to Use this Guide
1. Follow the instructions on pages 2 or 3 for your specific installation type (indoor pendant, surface mount or in-ceiling).
2. Refer to pages 1 and 4 for switch, power and wiring information, which is the same for all installations.
3. Numbered steps have cross references to the insets labeled A through F.
These instructions are only a basic guide. Refer to the ACUIX ES Installation and Configuration Guide for detailed safety and installation information not included here and to configure the domes. Not all models or options are shown and the step order may vary.

Installing the Indoor Pendant or Surface Mount Dome
All ACUIX ES pendant/surface mount shipments include both the skirt and top cap.
Use the part appropriate to the type of installation.
Refer to inset
Indoor Pendant (Using the Top Cap)
Drill the mount holes into the ceiling or wall. Before securing the mount to the
1
B
surface, pull the field wiring through the mount. Make sure the wires extend at
least 12 inches (305 mm) past the end of the ceiling or wall mount threaded
pipe.
Pull the wiring from the mount and through the top cap. Cut the cable length
2
to 6 inches (152 mm). Screw the top cap into the wall or ceiling threaded
pipe. For the wall mount, use the supplied conduit.
Surface Mount (Using the Skirt)
Pull the wires through the skirt wiring access hole and mount the skirt on the
1
B
ceiling.
Finish pulling the field wiring through the skirt. Cut the cable length to 6
2
inches (152 mm).
