INSTALLING THE HOUSING ASSEMBLY

FOR WALL MOUNT, RH7C

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 rugged housing 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).

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.

4. Attach the wires from the wall to the connector provided, using the

wiring color code chart as a guide.

5. Once all wiring connections are made, place the wires inside the

wall mount bracket and close the access door. Secure with the

screw removed earlier.

6. Clean the outside of the dome.

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).

3. Clean the outside of the dome.

FOR OPTIONAL PENDANT MOUNT

1. This unit includes a 1 1/2" NPT housing for a standard 1 1/2"

NPT pipe. The RH7C can be used with other brackets

designed with 1 1/2" male pipe threads, such as the Videolarm

WM20G and WM20 wall mount brackets.

proper gauge wire for the distance that you intend to run your

power wires.

3. Bring power to the 3 and 4 position of the power connector (yellow

and green wire)

4. Two jumpers are provided in the housing packet. Jumper from

st

position to the 3rd position and from the 2nd position to the
