Preparation

1. Carefully unpack box and verify that all components listed are

included. [Figure 1]

2. Remove the dome assembly by loosening the three (3) screws. If

desired, the tether may be disconnected by backing out the screw in
the center of the retaining rivet. Take care when handling the dome
to prevent scratches or other damage.

3. Remove the camera mounting plate by loosening the two screws in

the keyhole slots with a screwdriver, then loosening and removing
the third screw. Rotate the plate slightly so that the keyhole slots
are aligned with the heads of the screws and disconnect from the
wire tether to remove the plate.

Installation

1. Apply thread sealant (included) to the 1½” NPT pipe threads or

approved mount. This procedure will prevent moisture ingress
through the threads. [Figure 2]

Failure to properly seal the 1½” NPT

WARNING

pipe threads will permit water to
enter the housing and may damage
the internal equipment.

2. Install EG8 assembly on 1½” NPT pipe or mount by rotating

counter-clockwise until threads are fully engaged.

3. Remove foam dust cap and route Cat5 and power cables into the

housing.

4. Reconnect the mounting plate’s wire tether and allow mounting

plate to be suspended by tether.

5. Connect 24VAC to the input terminals on circuit board marked

“+IN-“. [Figure 3]

6. Push extra wire length up through housing flange and re-install the

foam dust cap in the cable entrance of the housing.

7. Route wires carefully over the edge of the mounting plate, taking

care to ensure that the BNC (shown in Figure 4) and camera
power leads (connected to the “24CAM” output on the circuit
board) will be accessible in the following step. Re-install and
tighten the screws holding the camera mounting plate.

8. Insert end of Cat5 into the RJ45 jack in the housing. [Figure 4]

9. Mount camera to bracket and make the following connections:
a. Connect the BNC (see Figure 4) to the video output jack

of the camera.

b. Connect the 24VAC power leads from the circuit board

terminals marked “24CAM” to the camera power input.

10. Aim and focus camera as desired.

11. Re-attach the dome tether by pushing the rivet into the hole and

turning the screw fully in (do not over-tighten). Re-install dome
