12 Pelco Manual C585M-B (11/98)3.2 MOUNTING3.2.1 Transmitter/Controller

Transmitter/controllers in the MPT8000 Series are desktop units. Determine the

best location for the unit.

Proceed to Section 3.2.2, RECEIVER.

3.2.2 Receiver

1. Determine the best location to install the unit.

2. Using the WX8000 receiver box as a template, mark the hole pattern on the

mounting surface. Drill holes in the mounting surface.

3. Attach the WX8000 receiver securely with four fasteners of appropriate length

(not supplied.)

Proceed to Section 3.3, WIRING.

3.3 WIRING3.3.1 Control Wiring3.3.1.1 Wiring the Transmitter/Controller to theReceiver

Run the control cable between the controller/transmitter and the receiver (refer to

Figures 1 and 2.)

The control cable should be unshielded twisted pair wire. Maximum operating dis-

tances should be determined by referring to Table A, Control Cable Wiring Dis-

tances.

Table A. Control Cable Wiring Distances

Wire Gauge* Maximum Distance

22 AWG 5 miles (8 km)

20 AWG 10 miles (16 km)

* Control cable operating distances are approximate according to wire used.

To wire the MPT8000 control wires, refer to Figure 5 and perform the following

instructions:

1. Attach one wire from the terminal labeled HI on the MPT8000 Series control-

ler to the terminal labeled HI on the WX8000 Series receiver.

2. Attach one wire from the terminal labeled LOW on the MPT8000 Series con-

troller to the terminal labeled LOW on the WX8000 Series receiver.

If you want to use a configuration that includes a switching device, refer to the

manual provided with the switcher for the appropriate connections.

Proceed to Section 3.3.1.2, WIRING FROM THE RECEIVER/DRIVER TO THE

PAN/TILT.

NOTE:

When installing the

WX8000 receiver to a wall out-

doors, seal the bolt holes with an

appropriate sealant. Apply the

sealant around the bolt holes be-

tween the unit and the mounting

surface. This will prevent possible

water damage to the wall caused

by rainwater leaking through the

mounting bolt holes. (This may only

be a problem when the mounting

bolts go completely though the

wall.)

NOTE:

Never mount the receiver

with wiring connectors facing up.

Always have the connectors facing

down to prevent water damage.
