Nikon XX152-02-00 specifications Cable Connections, Outdoor Pendant, Coaxial Video Cable

Outdoor Pendant

The outdoor pendant model mounts on a Vicon mount or a 1.5-in. vertical pipe with an appropriate coupling. The outdoor version includes a sunshield, heater and weather protection. Be sure the area around the selected location is clear of obstacles (such as steel beams, headers, pipes, electrical wiring, etc.) that would interfere with mounting. Video, sync, and power cables must be routed to the location.

Note: The standard 1.5-inch pipe referred to in this manual has the actual dimensions of: outside diameter:

1.9in. (48.3 mm); inside diameter: 1.61 in. (40.9 mm); wall thickness: 0.145 in. (3.37 mm) minimum (ANSI standard grade thickness).

1.Install the mount in accordance with the installation manual included with the mount or prepare the vertical 1.5-in. NPT pipe.

2.Feed all necessary cables through the back of the mount or out the end of the 1.5-in. NPT pipe, 15 in. (381 mm) in length.

3.Apply the provided anti-seize lubricant to the first 2-3 unpainted threads of the housing.

4.Lift the sunshield/housing up to the mount and feed the cables through its top opening.

5.Place the housing onto the 1.5-in. pipe and screw clockwise, looking up at the housing. When it becomes snug, turn it an additional quarter-turn.

6.Verify that each cable drops from the pipe opening at least 15 in. (381 mm) in length.

7.Lift the SurveyorVFT camera mechanism up to the housing/sunshield and attach the housing’s safety cord clip to the camera mechanism’s tab. Allow the camera mechanism to hang from the housing. Refer to Figure 2.

8.Route each cable from the inside top of the housing down over to its mating connector on the camera PC board. Add 1 in. (25 mm) of extra length to each cable for termination (if not previously terminated) and cut them. The approximate length of each cable should be 14 - 15 in. (356 - 381 mm).

Continue with the section on Cable Connections.

Cable Connections

Both power and video connections are made to the integral printed circuit board (PC board) on the camera mechanism. The PC board provides a board-mounted BNC connector for coaxial or a screw terminal for twisted pair video and a removable two-position screw terminal connector for camera power. Refer to Figure 4 when performing these connections. Refer to Cable Recommendations in the Reference section. There is also a provision for adjusting the focus with the auxiliary video output port provided on the underside of the camera mechanism. This adjustment should be performed during installation. Refer to Figure 6.

Coaxial Video Cable

Attach the male BNC connector on the video cable to the mating BNC connector on the PC board.

Twisted-Pair Video Cable

For the models using the twisted-pair video connection, use the twisted-pair video wire connector as shown in Figure 4. Strip off approximately 0.25 in. (6 mm) of insulation from each individual wire. Attach each wire to the screw terminal on the PC board. Pin 1 is for Video and Pin 2 is Ground; Pin 3 is Not Used. Refer to Figure 4. Refer to the instructions supplied with the receiver for those connections.
