6.6 Cover Removal

1. Loosen the top two screws on the rear of the housing. These

screws are captive and will not come out all the way. Do not
remove the bottom two screws. See Figure 1.

Figure 1: Loosening Captive Screws

2. Grasp the housing's front cap and pull forward. Do not
squeeze the cover itself. This will make it difficult to slide off
the cover. See Figure 2.

Figure 2: Removing the Cover

3. The cover is attached to the base. Allow the cover to dangle
from the base.

6.7 Camera/Lens Installation

1. Loosen the two screws holding the camera bracket to the

9488 Series Housings:

3f. Attach the lens to the camera.

3g. Use the various 1/4-20 screws and spacers provided to

mount the camera and the lens to the camera bracket.

6.8 Camera/Lens Wiring

WARNING: Only use the cables specified under
"INSTALLATION, Cable Requirements" for wiring
of all cameras and lenses.

6.8.1 Fittings

1. The two large 1/2-in NPT fittings accept round cable with
diameters from 4.3 mm (0.17-in) to 11.9 mm (0.47-in).
The small fittings will accept cables with diameters from

4.6 mm (0.181-in) to 7.9 mm (0.312-in).

Be sure to securely tighten all fittings to ensure a
liquid-tight seal. Failure to do so could allow water to
enter the housing and damage the camera and lens.

If a sealant is to be used, be sure it is a neutral cure type.
Sealants that release acetic acid may harm camera electronics.

Use of "drip loops" is recommended on the wiring
outside of the rear end cap.

6.8.2 Conduit

These housings are designed to allow conduit to be directly
connected.

1. Remove the rear fittings and attach the conduit and conduit
fittings directly to the housing rearcap. The holes accept
1/2-in conduit fittings and PG 13.5 conduit fittings. Any
unused holes can be covered using the plugs provided in the
hardware kit.

6.8.3 Feed-through Wiring

These housings have the capability of having the cabling feed
through the foot of the housing. This requires the use of feed­through mounts like the LTC 9215/00, LTC 9219/01.

1. Prior to mounting the camera. Remove the two dome plugs
located inside the housing. See Figure 7.

8

Figure 7: Feed-through Wiring

2. Screw the two 3/8-in NPT fittings into the foot of the
housing.

3. Pull the cabling through the fittings and into the housing.
Tighten the fitting to 4.0 N-m to 4.5 N-m (35 in-lb to
40 in-lb). This torque rating is approximately 1 to 1 1/2
turns past the point the fitting starts to grip the wire. Failure
to do so will result in water damage to all electronic parts.

4. Attach the foot to the top bracket of the mount.

5. Cover the holes in the rear cap with the rubber plugs
provided. Push in until flush and then release.

6.8.4 Power Connections

Power connection into the housings is to be supplied through a
minimum type UL Standard "SJ" cord acceptable for outdoor
use. Installation must conform to acceptable NEC and local
codes. For 24 volt cameras, use the chart below for selecting the
proper wire size.

Recommended Maximum Cable Lengths for Housings

6 10 292.6 960
10 8 464.2 1523

Note: The use of wire sizes larger than 1,5 mm2(14 AWG) will require a
splice in order to accomodate the terminal block.

1. Install one of the large 1/2-in NPT fittings into one of the
holes in the rear cap. The terminal block side is preferable. If
you are using the feed-through option, ignore this step.

2. Route the power cable through the fitting in the rear cap or
one of the feed-through fittings in the foot.

3. The terminal block provided on /X0 units accepts wire
ranging from 20 to 14AWG or 1.5 mm2. The terminal
block provided on /X1 units accepts wire ranging from 18 to
12AWG or 2.5 mm2. When using larger wire sizes, splice to
a smaller size wire at the terminal block end. The splice may
need to be enclosed in a junction box if it does not pass
through the fittings.

4. A screw/terminal lug is provided for securing a safety
ground. To attach the safety grounding wire (green 115 volt,
green/yellow 230 volt), first unscrew the terminal lug and
strip and crimp the grounding wire into the lug. Attach the
terminal lug to the bracket using the M4 x 10 screw
provided. (LTC 9480/00 models use a M4 Nut to screw the
lug to the base.) See Figure 8.

Figure 8: Power Connections - Nonfan Units

Figure 9: Power Connections - Fan Units

5. Pull any excess wire out of the housing and tighten the
fitting to 8.5 N-m to 9.0 N-m (75 in-lb to 80 in-lb). This
torque rating is approximately 1 to 1 1/2 turns past the
point the fitting starts to grip the wire.

Failure to do so will allow water to enter and damage all
electronic parts.

Be sure to securely tighten all fittings to ensure a liquid-tight
seal. Failure to do so could allow water to enter the housing
and damage the camera and lens.

5. Connect the supply power wires to the left side or the top
side of the terminal block provided. Strip no less than 6 mm
(0.25 in) and no more than 8 mm (0.31 in) of insulation
away from the wire. Be sure not to nick the wires.

6. Cut the camera power cord, leaving enough cable to allow
connection to the terminal block. Strip no less than 6 mm
(0.25 in) and no more than 8 mm (0.31 in) of insulation
away from the wire. Be sure not to nick the wires. Connect
these wires to the left side or the top side of the terminal
block.

7. On heater and heater/blower units, make sure the heater and
fan wires stay connected to the terminal block.

6.9 Video Coax Connection

WARNING: Only use the cables specified under
"INSTALLATION, Cable Requirements" for wiring
of the video coax connection.

1. For LTC 9483 and LTC 9480 versions install a 1/2-in NPT
fitting into the remaining hole in the rear cap. For
LTC 9488 versions install a 3/8-in NPT fitting through the
center small hole of the rear cap.

2. Route the video coax cable through one of the fittings
installed in step 1 or one of the feed-through fittings in the
base.

3. Attach BNC connector to the coax and connect it to the
camera. Pull any excess wire out of the housing and tighten
the fitting to 8.5 N-m to 9.0 N-m (75 in-lb to 80 in-lb).
This torque rating is approximately 1 to 1 1/2 turns past the
point the fitting starts to grip the wire. Failure to do so will
result in water damage to all electronic parts.

Be sure to securely tighten all fittings to ensure a liquid-tight
seal. Failure to do so could allow water to enter the housing
and damage the camera and lens.

Use of "drip loops" is recommended on the wiring outside of
the rear end cap.

6.10 Lens Wiring

WARNING: Only use the cables specified under
"INSTALLATION, Cable Requirements" for wiring
of the lens.

1. Install the last 1/2-in NPT fitting into the remaining hole in
the rear cap. Zoom lenses can only be installed into
LTC 9488 housings.

2. If installing a zoom lens, insert the lens control cable
through the last fitting at the rear of the housing. Attach
the lens wiring to the lens mating connector and connect it
to the lens. If mating connector is not available, connect
directly to the lens cable. Pull any excess wire out of the
housing and tighten the fitting to 8.5 N-m to 9.0 N-m
(75 in-lb to 80 in-lb). This torque rating is approximately 1
to 1-1/2 turns past the point the fitting starts to grip the
wire. Failure to do so will result in water damage to all
electronic parts.

NOTE:

See specification on lens cord for correct plug connection.

Be sure to securely tighten all fittings to ensure a
liquid-tight seal Failure to do so could allow water to
enter the housing and damage the camera and lens.

2. If using a pan/tilt with a feed-through cable, insert the
camera/lens function cable in through the left fitting at the
rear of the cradle. Wire the functions, as described above or
as needed.

Use of "drip loops" is recommended on the wiring
outside of the rear end cap.

6.11 Camera/Lens Adjustment

1. Verify camera and lens operation before final assembly of
the cradle into the housing. Adjust the camera focus and
iris as necessary. See individual camera instructions.

6.12 Final Assembly

1. Use the plugs or fittings provided to plug any remaining
holes in the rear cap.

2. Reinstall the cover. Align the bottom of the cover ribs with
the top of the base. Slide the cover onto the base. Make sure
the seal is not folded over or torn. Use silicone grease to
lubricate the seals if necessary. See Figure 10.

Figure 10: Reinstalling the Cover

3. As the cover nears the rear cap, make sure the captive screws
in the back are not blocking the cover from engaging into
the rear cap.

4. Screw the two rear captive screws into the housing.

6.13 Fuse Replacement

1. To replace a fuse, take a flat blade screw driver and twist the
top of the fuseholder counter clockwise about a ¼ of a turn.
The fuse is spring loaded so it will eject.

2. Replace the fuse with a fuse that has the same current rating.
The fuse is a 5x20 mm slow blow cartridge type fuse.
Recommend using Littelfuse series 218.
