GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOUNTING HOUSING

INSTALLING THE HOUSING ASSEMBLY FOR WALL MOUNT

POD9CW/POD9CFW

1. 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.

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 POD9CW includes

a location for conduit entry. If you wish to install conduit to the

bracket remove the conduit hole plug. Install tting from below the

wall mount and secure with conduit nut from inside the bracket.

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

NPT pipe. The POD9 can be used with other brackets

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

PWM20G and PWM30G wall mount brackets.

2. Attach the housing coupling (Figure 2).

NOTE: Pipe threads should be clean and rust free. Use a

sealer (such as Teon™ tape or silicone sealer) on the

threads.

Add thread sealing tape

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 wiring chart

supplied on Page 4.

Make sure set screw is
secure before hanging

screw removed earlier.

6. Clean the outside of the dome.

2. Upon completing wiring, undo the safety cable and twist the
