IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND WARNINGS

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

6. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

7. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

8. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.

9. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.

10. To reduce the risk of shock do not perform any servicing other that that contained on the operating
instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

11. Installation should be done only by qualified personnel and conform to all local codes.

12. Unless the unit meets NEMA Type 3, 3R, 3S, 4, 4X, 6 or 6P standards, it is designed for indoor use
only and must not be installed where exposed to rain and moisture.

13. Use only installation methods and materials capable of supporting four times the maximum specified
load.

14. Use stainless steel hardware to fasten the enclosure to outdoor surfaces.

15. To prevent water leakage when installing an enclosure outdoors, apply sealant around the bolt holes
between the enclosure and mounting surface and to the notch in the base of the enclosure.

DESCRIPTION

The 300 Series Camclosure® integrated camera system is a track-light design that mounts to a wall or
ceiling. The system incorporates a camera and lens package into a small, unobstructive, medium-security
enclosure designed for areas subject to vandalism. The system is quick and easy to install in a variety of
indoor or outdoor applications. It is ideal for residential, office, mall, hospital, school, parking garage,
correction and detention, and other medium-security installations subject to vandalism.

INSTALLATION

The following parts are supplied:

1 Camclosure integrated camera system
2 9-pin electrical connectors (12 VDC and 24 VAC)
1 Hollow screwdriver bit (1/8-inch)

Pelco Manual C2408M-F (4/03) [ 3 ]

1 Prepare Wall or Ceiling

Prepare the wall or ceiling according to one of the options shown below.

Mounting directly to wall or ceiling

Mounting to a 4S electrical box
with 404 plaster ring

Mounting to ICS300-COND conduit adapter
(not supplied)

Mounting to a two-gang electrical box

[ 4 ] Pelco Manual C2408M-F (4/03)

6-32 X .500 SECURITY SCREW
(SUPPLIED WITH ADAPTER PLATE)

2 Connect Video and Power

1. Some indoor installations do not require a heater. If the installation does not require a heater,
disconnect the heater wiring.

a. Remove the cover with the supplied 1/8-inch hollow screwdriver bit.

b. Remove the camera from the mounting bracket and unplug the four-pin heater connector in

the base. The connector has orange, red, and black wires.

c. Reinstall the camera.

d. Reseat the O-ring on the cover and reinstall the cover.

2. Depending on the input voltage, wire either the 12 VDC or 24 VAC connector (supplied) to the
input power wires. Plug the connector into the mating connector in the base.

3. Connect the video cable.

WARNING: To prevent damage to the camera or lens, the camera must be installed in
the proper hole of the mounting bracket. If the camera is not installed in the correct
hole, the window of the enclosure may be forced against the lens.

3 Attach Base

Release the base locking ring for access to the mounting holes.

Mounting hardware is not supplied if you attach the base directly
to a wall or ceiling.

To attach the base to an adapter plate or conduit adapter, two
6-32 x 1.25-inch tamper-resistant screws are supplied with the
adapters. Use the 1/8-inch hollow screwdriver bit supplied with
the Camclosure.

For waterproof installation,
be sure the notch in the
base is pointed down.

TIP

Apply sealant around
notch.

4 Adjust Camera

Turn on power to the camera and monitor. Release one or both locking
rings, swivel the enclosure until the angle of the camera is correct, and
tighten the locking rings.

If you have a varifocal lens, remove the cover with the supplied 1/8-inch hollow screwdriver bit.
Loosen the focal length and focus locking screws. Adjust according to scene detail. Retighten the
screws. Reseat the O-ring on the cover and reinstall the cover.

When camera power is on,
use caution when adjusting
the camera. This applies to
all models.

RINGS

CAUTION:

Heater elements
could be hot!

ADJUSTMENTS (Color Camera Only)

If you have a color camera, it is set up at the factory and normally requires no adjustments. Sometimes,
however, adjustments may be necessary.

1. Remove the cover using the supplied 1/8-inch hollow screwdriver bit.

2. Adjust the vertical phase, iris level, focus, or switch settings (refer to procedures below).

3. Reseat the O-ring on the cover and reinstall the cover.

Ver tical Phase
(24 VAC Operation Only)

Adjustment is required if there is vertical roll when
switching between two cameras.

1. Reverse the 24 VAC connections on one camera. If
both cameras are connected to the same trans­former, this should solve the problem.

2. If reversing the connections does not solve the
problem, or if cameras are connected to different
transformers, turn the adjustment screw (on the
power board on the back of the camera assembly)
on one camera (while switching as rapidly as
possible between the two camera views) until the
switching is clean and there is no vertical roll. If
more than two cameras are out of synchronization
with each other, choose one camera and
synchronize all others to it.
