Line up the plate you have installed on the camera with the correct holes in the housing. Attach the camera to the housing. Figure 1-9 Dome Housing Component for the Sony SNC-RX550N/W-MT Camera F.) Place the safety line on the housing to the dome cover.
20 to 12 AWG stranded wire. Tap A is the 24VAC and is the one to use. The chart also shows AWG vs. distance. Motorola CAN NOT recommend a specific wire configuration due to the fact that the wire must be cut to length based on the termination/connection to the local power source at a specific site, and that the installation must comply with local building codes.
Chapter 1: Overview TIP FROM THE FIELD: You will need to manually wire (setup) the power supply to support BOTH the camera (yellow and orange wire) AND the Heater/Blower (green and blue wire). A total of four lines will need to be powered up on the connector. 4.
MOTOMESH 1.2 Mesh Camera System Setup and Configuration Guide B.) Attach the assembly to the pole using stainless steel straps. C.) Remove coupling from the housing and attach to the gooseneck wall mount. D.) Follow camera mounting procedure to mount onto the dome, located in the Outdoor and Indoor Dome Housings hard copy or in PDF file (Dome Housing Installation.pdf).
Chapter 1: Overview Figure 1-15 Example of Gooseneck Component Setup in the Field 4. Connect the AC power source to the power supply (hardwire). TIP FROM THE FIELD: Listen for the camera PTZ motor to activate. You will hear the camera spin to its 'Home' location (zero degrees).
