3. Remove ceiling tile from desired mounting location and use the

support plate as a template to cut a hole into the ceiling tile. Ensure
that the hole is in the center of the tile.

4. Run Cat5 (and, optionally, 12VDC leads) to the location where the

assembly is to be installed.

POE power must be IEEE 802.3af compliant. Optional 12VDC power

NOTE

Installation

1. Place upper housing through hole from underneath ceiling tile. Place support

2. The anchor clips will twist over the support plate. Screw the anchor clips down until the upper housing is snug.

3. Connect the Cat5 cable to the RJ45 jack on top of the upper housing assembly. If 12VDC direct power is required,

must be from a regulated power source and of the correct polarity
(center positive). (See Master Power Supply Instructions for
wiring/installation instructions.)

adjustments to the lens settings, loosen the lens locking screws, adjust focal length and focus, and retighten the
lens locking screws.

DO NOT use liquid cleaners (except for those that are specifically designed for optical-grade acrylic) on the Dome as they may degrade the
optical quality.

Troubleshooting

1. Software cannot connect to SDR6-IP, and no LED’s are lit:
a. Verify proper insertion of Ethernet cable at both ends of cable (if using POE). If LED’s are still not lit,

12VDC (center pin positive) can be connected to the optional power input to verify operation of the
SDR6-IP.

b. Verify proper voltage and polarity (if using direct power).

2. Software cannot connect to SDR6-IP, but some LED’s are lit:
a. Red LED indicates that the unit is getting power, and should be solid red. Green LED indicates network

status and should be blinking consistently if everything is working normally.

b. If red LED is on and green LED is not flashing, check Ethernet connections on both ends.
