SurveyorVFT Components
All SurveyorVFT units are comprised of an Enclosure/Housing, a Camera
Drive, a Shroud and a Lower Dome. Figures 1, 2 and 3 show In-Ceiling,
Indoor Pendant and Outdoor Pendant models, respectively.
Figure 1
SurveyorVFT In-Ceiling
Enclosure
The enclosure is a metal shell that houses the camera drive for the in-
ceiling model. A safety cord and clip are provided to connect to the camera
drive 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. A customer interface board, that can be unlatched or removed
for easy access, is installed in the top of the enclosure. All wiring is done to
this board.
Camera Drive
The camera drive is comprised of an integral camera, pan-and-tilt drive and
CPU. It is designed for easy “snap-in” installation into the enclosure or
housing. The camera drive quickly and accurately positions the camera in
360° of pan angle and 95° of tilt angle. There are variations in camera type
for magnification and color or day/night usage. An additional
thermostatically-controlled heater is provided for temperature control on
outdoor units.
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 5.98 inch (152 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 indoor pendant configurations is a
molded plastic protective cover for the camera drive; 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. A customer interface board, that can be unlatched or removed
for easy access, is installed in the top of the enclosure. All wiring is done to
this board.
Sunshield
The sunshield is pre-installed over the housing used on the outdoor
pendant version to minimize the effects of solar radiation.
CAUTION: For any environment subject to moisture, use the outdoor
pendant model.
