9 Mounting the Power / Data Back Box
Before mounting the power / data back box, determine if the camera installation
will be wall, ceiling, or parapet and if the wiring will pass through the
compression fittings in the back or the ½” NPT conduit mount on the bottom of
the back box.
NOTE: If using the compression fittings in the back, it is recommended to replace the factory installed
hole plugs with the optional Heyco Liquid Tight fittings (#3207) from the accessory kit where larger
cables like CAT5 will be used.
NOTE: If using the ½” hole on the bottom of the junction box, a ½” (15 mm) NPT compression fitting
can also be used. (Heyco P/N 3200 is also appropriate).
1. As the arrows (Figure 4) indicate, use the supplied wall mount template to
locate the four mounting holes for the power/data back box.
2. Drill four (4) holes for the mounting screws using the included mounting
template as a guide. If installing outdoors, apply a weatherproof sealant
around each hole at the mounting surface.
3. Provided are four (4) #14 x 2” flanged (approximately 10 mm head x 50.1 mm
in length), hex head screws that can be used to install into a variety of wood
and metal substrates. If mounting into wooden studs, it is recommended that
a 1/8” (3 mm) wide by 2” (4.8 cm) deep pilot hole be drilled prior to installing
the screws. Alternatively, the installer can provide screws with a head
diameter less than #14 (3/8” or 10 mm) in size so that they can fit into the
junction box opening.
NOTE: It is recommended that each screw and the material it is being installed into be able to bear a
minimum of 50 pounds (22 kilograms) of pull force.
4. Pass the power and data cables through the back box, then install the power /
data back box on the mounting surface.
