FOR WALL MOUNT, FDW7
A wall mount bracket comes standard with this unit, and a
template is included to use as a guide for mounting the bracket
to a wall. Choose the desired location for installation and mark
the drill holes using the template. Screw (2) bolts (not
provided) about 3/4 of the way into the (2) top holes. Run
approximately 8" of wiring out of the wall.
NOTE: Be sure the hardware and the mounting surface can sup-
port the weight of the wall mount bracket plus the weight
of the housing and drive unit. The load will be subjected
to vibration from the camera motor and wind.
2. The wall mount bracket provided with the FDW7 includes
a location for conduit entry. If you wish to install conduit to the
bracket remove the conduit hole plug. Install fitting from below the
wall mount and secure with conduit nut from inside the bracket.
3. Open the access door on the bottom of the wall mount by
loosening the screw nearest the mounting plate (Figure 2).

NPT pipe. The FD7 can be used with other brackets
designed with 1 1/2" male pipe threads, such as the Videolarm
WM20G and WM20 wall mount brackets.
2. Attach the housing coupling (Figure 3).
NOTE: Pipe threads should be clean and rust free.
Use a sealer (such as Teflon™ tape or silicone
sealer) on the threads.

1. Mount the housing assembly to the mounting bracket and
housing coupling. A safety cable is included with the housing to
temporarily hold it while making wiring connections. Loop the
safety cable over one of the set screws on the housing coupling
and make the appropriate connections using the (2) screw-down
connectors supplied.
2. Undo the safety cable and twist the housing onto the housing
coupling. Secure all (3) setscrews provided on the housing
coupling (Figure 4).
