Specifications

PED: Cable-managed pendant/pedestal bracket with 4” PCD

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.

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.
• Two cable entry points are provided (fig 2); at the rear of the baseplate (25mm ᴓ hole), for cables passed through the wall, and at the front; located at the bottom of the wall arm cover (20mm threaded for conduit). A screw cap is supplied for this access point, in the event it is not used.

Removing the bracket to aid wall fixing:

• Remove the 4 Allen bolts securing the Pivot Ball to the housing body, using the 5mm Allen wrench (Fig 3).
• Lifting the Pivot Ball and bracket arm away from the housing body reveals 2 cable entry glands for access into the housing enclosure (Fig 4).
• One gland is split (the larger of the two), allowing a pre-made Ethernet cable to be inserted easily (up to 14mm size); the other a standard gland. Ensure that the rubber O-rings remain on the screws when loosening.
• Ensure that any unused Glands are closed off, to avoid damp air entering the housing.
• The wall bracket arm can now be attached to the mounting surface.
• The cable(s) can be passed through the bracket arm by removing the front cover of the arm.
• Remove the wall bracket front cover (Fig 5). Using the medium Allen wrench provided (3mm), unscrew the 4 fixing bolts) and pull the cover away from the bracket arm.
• The cable access hole and locking ring assembly are now visible (Fig 6).
• Pass the cable(s) into the arm and through the cable access hole (16mm ᴓ), into the Pivot ball assembly (Fig 7):
• Offer the housing body up to the Pivot Ball and pass the cable(s) through the gland(s), ensuring unused glands are closed off to prevent damp air ingress.
• Attach the housing body to the Pivot Ball assembly and refit, using the 4 Allen bolts. Ensure the rubber O-ring seals are still fitted on each bolt. Tighten the locking ring using the optional wrench bar (Fig 8).
• Upon re-fitting the housing body to the bracket arm; position the housing and tighten the locking ring with the wrench bar, and tighten one of the grub screws using the supplied Allen wrench (2.5mm) This fixes the ring in place and ensures the housing remains firmly in position (Fig 9)

PED mount: fitting instructions

The PED mount is an alternative mounting system, designed to replace the standard wall bracket assembly. The PED is designed to mount the VEGA™ housing to poles and towers using a 4” PCD fitting. The PED attaches to the housing Pivot Ball in the same way as the wall bracket; with the same cable access. Removal is the same process as described in section 3.2, Fig 3.

• To tighten the lock ring in the PED, first remove the PED column cover, by removing the Allen screw as shown in Fig 10 below. Tighten using the optional wrench bar (Fig 11).
• Fix, pass the cable(s) through; attach the housing body; position the housing and tighten the lock ring as described in section 3.2, figs 8 & 9.

Fitting the camera into the housing

Removing the housing cover

• First, loosen the front bezel Allen bolts by 3 turns. This will allow the housing cover to be removed easily (fig 12):
• Next, loosen the 3 Allen bolts securing the Housing cover (Fig 13):
• Gently pull the housing cover backwards and upwards, noting that an earthing strap connects the housing cover to the base. Ensure that the earthing strap remains connected at all times (Fig 14). Take care to ensure that the earth strap is not trapped when refitting the housing cover.

Housing interior and parts
The 2010-PW is fitted with the Redvision CHAT™ interface board (Fig 16, below), which provides connection for: Power/ Data/ RS-485 control/ Wash & Wipe control. The CHAT™ board accepts the following voltages:

• The CHAT™ board (Fig 11) provides 12VDC power output to power a camera and lens assembly (Ethernet connection is for data only). The 12VDC output is rated at 1A. Please ensure that this is not exceeded, or damage could occur.
• The CHATTM interface board is secured to one side of the housing interior.
• To gain access to the camera mounting plate; first remove the two retaining screws holding the CHATTM board in place (Fig 12, above). Gently lift the CHATTM board out of the housing (there will be fixed wires for the wiper attached) to reveal the camera mounting plate:
• The camera baseplate is secured by 4 screws.
• The baseplate sits on 4 mount posts. Each post is stepped, allowing 2 mounting height options. The baseplate itself can also be inverted, allowing 4 different heights in total. This allows for a wide variety of cameras and lens combinations to be used, whilst still retaining full vision through the window without obscuration.
• Remove the 4 screws and fix the camera to the baseplate using the ¼” UNC bolt supplied in the parts kit.
• Position so that the lens is close to the housing window. Use the baseplate and the stepped mount posts to allow optimum placement of the camera. Best placement allows a slight gap between the lens and the housing window; to allow hot air from the heater to rise and keep the lens and window clear at all times.

Connecting the camera & lens assembly

• The CHATTM board will already have some connections fitted. These are:
  • Heater – 1A maximum
  • Wiper
  • 12VDC (for camera power) – 1A maximum
  • RS-485 (for Wiper and relay control)
  • Cat 5e flying lead (for camera data only)

You should not need to change or move these connections. A set of auxiliary connection cables is supplied with the camera; a 6-wire cable for auxiliary control and a 2-wire cable (Red/Black) for 12VDC or 24VAC power input to the board. Please connect these cables carefully to avoid damage.

• Connect the camera using the 12VDC pair and the Cat 5e flying lead.
  • Note: The PoE+ power input is to power the CHATTM board only. It will not power the camera. A separate 12VDC output (1A max.) is provided for this function. The flying Cat 5e lead is for camera data connection only.

CHATTM Interface board connections

The CHAT™ interface board provides the following inputs and outputs:

Power and Data connections:
NOTE: Only ONE type of power source must be connected at any one time. Connecting multiple power sources will damage the interface board and invalidate the warranty cover for the product. Please use the connecting leads provided.

PoE+ (802.3at) connection:

The PoE+ input powers the CHAT™ interface board. Camera power must be taken from the auxiliary 12VDC power output, located at the top of the board (JP3). The 12VDC power output is rated at 1A maximum. The top RJ45 connector provides data only connection to the IP camera.

• 12VDC/24VAC connection:
  • Use either 12VDC or 24VAC supply to this connector. Note the polarity markings for 12VDC. Do not reverse the connections or damage may occur, invalidating the warranty cover for this product.
• RS-485 data connection:
  • A 2-line connection is provided for RS-485 data control of the CHAT™ board.
  • Please observe standard RS-485 installation practice when using this input.
  • When using with 3rd party controllers/encoders:

DIP Switch settings

• Three DIP switch blocks are provided, to provide control of the following aspects:
• RS-485 Baud Rate
• Camera Device ID 1-256
• Wiper operation Manual (On), Auto (timed), or Off

The switches are located on the camera-side of the CHAT™ interface board:

Note: All DIP switch settings must be made whilst the housing is powered OFF. The CHAT™ board will read the settings on power-up. If DIP switches are changed whilst powered up, simply power-cycle the housing and the new settings will apply.

RS-485 protocol settings:
The RS-485 control protocol is fixed at Pelco-D type; N,8,1. The baud rate, however, can be changed, and the camera device ID can be set between 1 and 255. Ignore the labelling on the switch blocks themselves; for all switches, UP = OFF (0) and DOWN = ON (1).

SW1 switch settings (Baud Rate):

UP = OFF (0) DOWN = ON (1)

Fig 21 SW1 Baud rate settings

SW2 Settings (Camera ID):

Switches 1-8 set the unique camera ID address: UP = OFF (0) DOWN = ON (1)

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)

• 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 VEGA™ is cycled, a new RS-485 command will need to be sent to start the auto-wipe timer again.

• Wires 5 & 6 provide a wash relay output (voltage-free), controlled by sending Preset 87 to the board.

User pass-through connections
The CHAT™ board provides two 8-way connector blocks, located on the top of the board; these are voltage-free, and have no direct connection to the CHAT™ board. They are simple pass-through connectors, to allow easy routing and management of user cables. Each pin on the left-hand connector links to the same pin on the right-hand connector; 1-1, 2-2, 3-3 etc. These can be used for linking alarm, audio, or other auxiliary wires as required.

Refitting the Housing cover

• Once connection and final testing is complete; re-fit the top cover using the 3x 6mm Allen screws, then fasten the 2x 4mm Allen screws on the front bezel; ensuring the gasket seal, cover and bezel are fitted flush and evenly all round. Your Vega™ 2010-PW housing is now ready to use.
• Take care to ensure that the earth strap is not trapped when refitting the housing cover.
