3.0 Installation

It is strongly recommended that the camera/lens assembly is fitted indoors, before the housing is installed. All attempts should be made to avoid damp air entering the housing enclosure, before sealing and powering. Failure to observe this advice may result in condensation forming on the housing window, causing obscuration of the camera image.
3.1 Wall Bracket (Standard fitting):
· Use the three mounting holes to fix the bracket to the wall (Fig 1); the bracket can be removed from the housing body to aid fixing, by removing the Pivot Ball (shown below). The upper-left and bottom holes are elongated to aid levelling during fixing.

5.41 Wiper control settings (SW3):
The wiper has 3 states: On/Off/Auto. On enables manual control via the RS-485 interface. Auto enables a built-in timer, so that the wiper operates for one cycle at specific intervals. Timed options are: 5/10/15/30-minute intervals, and are selected by SW3 switch block:
UP = OFF (0) DOWN = ON (1)

Off

Auto (Reserved) 30m

15m

10m

Switches 1 to 3: Only select one DIP switch at any time.
For example: Manual, RS-485 control is DIP switch 2 = ON (all others off)
Auto/15m is DIP switch 3 = ON, switch 6 = ON (all others off)
When Switch 2 is set to ON, but no RS-485 control is used, alarm input 1 (pins 1&2 on JP6) can be used to manually activate the wiper as a voltage-free closing contact. The wiper will run for as long as the contact remains closed.
Note: The Auto-timer function requires one wipe command to be sent via RS-485 to start the timer cycle. Once the manual wipe cycle has ended, the timed cycle will begin and the wiper will activate at the intervals set by DIP switches 6,7 & 8 accordingly. If the power supply to the VEGATM is cycled, a new RS-485 command will need to be sent to start the auto-wipe timer again.
