5. Cut a 5-inch diameter hole in the ceiling tile. You can either use the two holes in the spring paddle
flex assembly as a compass tool to mark the 5-inch diameter hole, or use a 5-inch hole saw.
6. If you are wiring more than one dome drive to the same transformer, connect one side of the
transformer to pin 9 of the RJ45-10 connector on all modules. Connect the other side of the
transformer to pin 10 of the RJ45-10 connector on all modules.
NOTE: Failure to connect all modules identically may introduce noise in the video for some
installations.
7. Pull all wiring through the hole in the ceiling and terminate all wires (if not already terminated).
8. Connect your power wiring to the dome drive using one of the following options (refer to Table F on
page 16 for wiring distances):
• Plug the RJ45-10 connector on the end of the supplied interface cable (refer to Figure 6 on
page 18) into the mating connector on top of the dome drive, and then connect your wiring to
the other end of the cable.
• Connect the supplied RJ45-10 connector to your wiring, and then plug the connector into the
dome drive.
9. Connect your video and data wiring to the dome drive using either an unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
of wires (refer to Table E on page 16) or coaxial cable (refer to Table D on page 16). A BNC connector
for coaxial cable is attached to the dome drive.
10. Attach the dome drive to the ceiling (refer to Figure 9 on page 21).
a. Stabilize the spring paddle flex assembly by applying pressure to the machine screws.
b. With the screws stabilized, insert the spring paddle flex assembly and dome drive into the
hole in the ceiling tile.
NOTES:
• You may need to cut notches in the ceiling and insert the dome drive at an angle to
allow the ends of the paddle to clear the hole.
• Be sure to route all wiring away from the spring paddle flex assembly.
c. Once the spring paddle flex assembly has cleared the hole in the ceiling tile, release the
machine screws and allow the spring paddle flex assembly to expand. You do not need to
support the dome drive, as the ends of the paddle will hold the dome drive in place.
d. Tighten the machine screws completely to secure the ceiling tile between the spring paddle
flex assembly and the dome drive.
11. Align the tabs on the trim ring with the slots in the dome drive. Snap the trim ring and dome bubble
into place.
WARNING: Do not overtighten the mounting hardware; doing so can impede the pan
movement of the dome drive.
