Mounting Positions

CAUTION!
The upright unit can be mounted either with the camera ball up or down. To get the picture
the correct way for installation with the camera ball down, rotate the camera tilt axis 180°. For
more information, see Section 6.6 Configuring the Camera for Inverted Operation, Page 28.
If the camera is mounted ball down, it is essential that the connector and base area of the
camera are completely sealed from water ingress. Any water getting into the connector is
liable to cause corrosion to the connector pins, leading to unreliable operation of the camera
unit. To prevent water penetrating the composite cable connector threads, seal the 25 mm
thread at final installation using PTFE tape. Alternately, a suitable sealant may be liberally
applied to the thread prior to final tightening.
The MIC Series 400 cameras (AL, IR, ST), if canted, are designed to be mounted upright
(straight up, 90°), inverted (straight down, 90°), or canted upright (ball up, 45°). The tilt limits
for the canted unit prevent it from working properly if mounted ball down. See the figure
below for the correct ways to mount the camera.
