TVP-SAM TruVision PTZ Swing Arm Mount
Installation Instructions

Introduction

These instructions help you to install the mounting accessory
that you are using with your Interlogix PTZ. Complete these
instructions first, then return to the PTZ installation manual to
finish installing the PTZ.

The swing arm mount is used to mount a PTZ to a roof
parapet. It swings the PTZ out from a building and in above a
roof for a broader range of surveillance coverage and safer,

easier servicing.

Installation

Installation involves installing the mounting plate, installing the
swing arm, feeding the interconnect cables through the mount,
and installing the junction box.

Caution: For all installations, heed these cautions:

• Complete all installation steps before supplying power to
the PTZ.

• To ensure proper operation of a PTZ, install the mount

level.

• For safety, the mounting surface, hardware, and
procedure used for securing the PTZ must support the
weight of the PTZ, mount, cables, and any structural or
environmental vibration according to local codes.

Installing the mounting plate

1. Remove the junction box from the mounting plate
(Figure 2 above).

2. Using the mounting plate as a template, place it level

against the mounting surface and mark the position of the
mounting holes (Figure 3 on page 2). Use all six mounting
holes, if extra support is needed for your installation.

Figure 3: Marking the mounting holes

1. Middle holes are for
extra support.

2. Following all local codes, drill and prepare the mounting

holes.

3. Orient the mounting plate such that the socket is up and
the junction box is down (Figure 1 on page 1).

4. Securely fasten the mounting plate to the mounting

surface with the appropriate fasteners. Before installing
anchors into the middle holes, place the safety U bracket
on top of the mounting socket, aligning the holes in the
safety U bracket with the middle holes on the mounting

plate.

5. If needed, seal all mounting holes so that no moisture can
leak into the mounting surface.

Installing the swing arm

See Figure 4 below and do the following:

1. Slide the swing arm down into the mounting socket of the
mounting plate.

2. Position the arm such that the collar is accessible from the
rooftop for mounting the housing.

3. Temporarily tighten the pivot locking screws on the arm,
while you continue installing the mount.

Installing the interconnect cables and
junction box

1. Feed the interconnect cables through the junction box, the
chase nipple of the junction box, and up through the swing
arm (Figure 5 on page 3).

• Pull enough extra cable to make connections. You

can always cut off unneeded length later.

• Do not terminate the cables yet. Otherwise, they will

not fit through the dust seal of the housing.

2. Ensure that the parallel sides of the chase nipple are
aligned with the front and back of the top of the junction
box (Figure 5 on page 3). Otherwise, the chase nipple
may catch on the lower lip of the mounting socket.
