About this Guide

This guide explains how to install the SensorRail

IIIE system. It does not explain how to:

• Determine the exact mounting location of the

rail. This is determined by the customer’s needs

and the site’s ceiling structure.

• Program or operate the system. See SensorRail

IIIE User Guide 8200-0593-04 and SpeedDome

Ultra and AD Matrix User Guides.

• Service the system. See Service Guide

8200-0593-03.

About the Product

The SensorRail IIIE system enables a SpeedDome

Ultra dome camera to transmit video as it moves

along a rail to the ideal surveillance position.

The system consists of:

• 2.5m (8.2ft) rail sections (number determined by the

total length of the rail) with installation hardware

• A light-reducing section at each end of the rail

• Ceiling suspension assembly, which includes M8

threaded rods, ceiling attachment hardware (not

supplied), and mounting stirrups

• Copper tracks

• Camera trolley equipped with dome camera, RF

transmit antenna, and motor

• PowerRail module that supplies dc power to the

camera trolley, converts RS-422 data to RS-232 data

used by the trolley, and receives the video signal

from the dome camera

• Trolley stop and retrieval tool

• RF receive antenna.

IMPORTANT! At least two people are required to

install this product safely and efficiently. Follow all

procedures described in this guide explicitly. If

PAGE 3
Acoustic Tile Ceilings Before You Begin WARNING! DO NOT mount the rail structure directly to an acoustic tile ceiling; it cannot support the weight. Instead, extend threaded rods through the tile to a rigid ceiling structure capable of supporting the weight.

Parts Supplied Parts to be Purchased Separately Note: The number of parts supplied depends on the length of the rail. • M8 threaded rods and related hardware, and ceiling connection assemblies • Rail section package, which includes: • 3.3mm (1/8in) cable (as needed), steel galvanized 7x19 strands, minimum working load limit 680kg (1500 lbs) - 2.5m (8.2ft) straight rail sections - 2.5m (8.

1. Install Threaded Rods Installation Steps Threaded rods secure the rail system to the ceiling. Each rod attaches to the ceiling using one of the following methods: The following step numbers refer to pull-out drawings at the end of this document. CAUTION: Perform all steps carefully and methodically. DO NOT skip steps! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.
PAGE 6
2. Install PVC Holders 3. Install Stirrups, Eyebolts, and Jointing Plates PVC holders carry copper strips that the trolley uses to get power and send and receive data. These holders lie underneath the top surface of the rail. • A stirrup is required to mount each section to the threaded rod above. • Four jointing plates are required to attach it to the previous rail section.
PAGE 7
C. Level the rail sections. 4. Install Rail Sections 1. Level sections by adjusting the two center screws in the top jointing plates. Rail sections connect end-to-end to create the camera route. Repeat this procedure for each rail section until the total rail is complete, as straight as possible, and uniformly butted. 2. At the joint, check the top surface of the rolling track within the rail for misalignment that can cause the camera trolley to vibrate. Note: 3.
PAGE 8
5. Install Anti-Sway Cables Procedure The single row of threaded rods can cause the rail to potentially swing. To prevent this: At the ceiling: A. Install I-beam clamps on the side of the beam opposite the cable pull direction. • Install two anti-sway cables at each end of the rail. CAUTION: B. Thread an eyebolt into the beam clamp where the rod would normally go. - C. Insert a cable thimble into each eyebolt.
PAGE 9
C. Insert the service trolley “handle first” into the rail. 6. Insert Copper Tracks and Trolley Stop/Retrieval Tool D. Assemble the reel that holds the rolls of copper track. Four copper tracks feed 27Vdc power and RS-232 data to the camera trolley. A track installation/ retrieval tool (supplied separately) is used to insert copper tracks and can be used to retrieve copper tracks for servicing. 1. Lay out the five supplied wheels on the ground and insert six screws in one of the wheels. 2.
PAGE 10
4. Pull the trolley along the entire rail until the trolley and copper tracks exit the other end of the rail. 7. Install Optical Stop Labels Optical stop labels affix inside the rail nearest the PVC holder to enable the trolley to recognize the beginning and end of its route. IMPORTANT! While pulling the service trolley, hand push the service block with the tape attached to where it touches the spring at the end of the rail. Remember, the tape must face the start of the rail.
PAGE 11
D. Connect RS-422 data from the video controller to the module. 8. Install the PowerRail Module The PowerRail module: Matrix RS-422 • Converts RS-422 signals from the video controller to RS-232 signals. TX+ • Sends and receives RS-232 signals from the camera trolley • Receives video from the camera trolley and sends it to the video controller for display on a monitor. PowerRail RS-422 goes to RX+ TX– goes to RX– RX+ goes to TX+ RX– goes to TX– E. Connect the RF antenna cable.
PAGE 12
B. Remove the service block at the start end of the rail holding the tape in place and slide the camera trolley onto the rail. 9. Install the Camera Trolley As the camera trolley moves along the rail, it transmits video and camera data to the PowerRail module, which sends them to a monitor via a video controller. Four sliding collectors on the trolley transfer power and data to the rail. Note: The four sliding collectors compensate for linearity differences that may occur along the rail.
PAGE 13
10. Attach Light Reducing Sections 11. Clean the Rail Light reducing sections are not used by the camera trolley, but rather to reduce light that can enter the cowling from the ends of the rail. A light reducing section attaches to each end of the rail. The rail is sensitive to fingerprints. To clean the rail, use a tissue soaked with window glass cleaner or use a window glass cleaning pad. 12.
PAGE 14
13. Configure the System Equipment Required for this Operation • Laptop • AD SensorRail Control application. Procedure A. Power up the rail. Flip the main switch located on the PowerRail module. The trolley will move approximately 3m (9.8ft) down the rail, and then back to the home position approximately 1m (3.3ft) inside the optical stops. Note: If the trolley does not move, check the electrical connections.
PAGE 15
6. Note the trolley mileage by doubleclicking the Output 2 LED at the bottom of the screen. The monitor temporarily displays the software version and mileage in kilometers. 14. Install the Cowling Note: Ensure rail calibration displays the correct rail length in meters. If not, repeat this step. If the rail length is still not correct, ensure the spot LED on the trolley circuit board lights every time it passes a spot label.
PAGE 16
15. Install End Covers Tools, Equipment, and Parts Required • Proper lift equipment (scissor lift with extended work platform is recommended) • End covers (2) • Cover screws (8). Install an end cover to each end of the rail using four Phillips-head screws each. INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE. SENSORRAIL IIIE ADRL3TRK SERIES INSTALLATION GUIDE 8200-0593-02, REV.
