SurveyorVFT Fixed Dome Components

The SurveyorVFT fixed camera dome units consist of an enclosure/housing, a camera mechanism, a shroud, and a smoked (indoor) or clear (outdoor) lower dome.

Enclosure

The enclosure is a metal shell that houses the camera mechanism for the in-ceiling model. A safety cord and clip are provided to connect to the camera mechanism during installation. In addition, a small hole is provided on the side of the enclosure for connection of the lower dome’s safety cord. A removable top cover, a 0.75-inch (19 mm) conduit fitting and a pair of rotating flippers that give a convenient and sturdy connection of the enclosure into the ceiling are provided. For in-ceiling installations that do not use conduit pipe, a 0.75-inch (19 mm) strain relief fitting provides solid cable anchoring at the enclosure.

Camera Mechanism

The camera mechanism includes an integral camera/lens combination, with a color camera and a varifocal lens. It is designed for easy “snap-in” installation into the enclosure or housing. The camera/lens position can be manually adjusted. The integral PC board provides wiring connections. For outdoor units, a thermostatically- controlled heater is provided for temperature control.

Shroud

The shroud is a 5.4 in. (137 mm) textured black ABS plastic shell. It has a 1.4 in. (35.6 mm) slotted opening for the camera. This shroud conceals the position of the camera and snaps onto the camera drive.

Lower Dome

The lower dome is an assembly comprised of a 5.9 inch (150 mm) diameter acrylic plastic shell, a trim ring and a safety cord. Lower domes for indoor versions come in a choice of smoked, chrome or gold finishes. Standard outdoor lower domes are clear and use 4 screws for additional support. All lower domes are anchored to the enclosure by the safety cord. Refer to the Maintenance section for care.

Housing

The housing for the SurveyorVFT fixed indoor pendant configurations is a molded plastic protective cover for the camera mechanism; outdoor pendant configurations have a die-cast aluminum housing with a sunshield. The housing has a 1.5-inch NPT pipe flange mount. In addition, the housing is equipped with a safety cord and clip that is used to suspend the camera drive during installation. Another safety cord connects the lower dome to the housing.

Sunshield

A sunshield pre-installed over the housing used on the outdoor pendant version is for radiation sun-blocking protection.

CAUTION: For any environment subject to moisture, use the outdoor pendant model.
