GEA-102 wall-mount arm

The cast aluminum wall-mount arm is used to mount a dome to a vertical surface. It is for indoor or outdoor
use and mates with both the plastic indoor and cast aluminum outdoor pendant housings. It can be attached
directly to a vertical surface or mated with a bracket (corner-mount, pole-mount, or roof-mount). Instructions
for mating this mount to the various brackets are provided in the instructions for those brackets. The following
instructions explain how to install the wall-mount arm directly to a vertical surface.

Installing the wall-mount arm

To install the wall-mount arm, see the corresponding figures and do the following:
CAUTION:
1. The facility cables usually come out of the mounting surface and enter the arm through the rear
opening in the base. If the cables are attached externally to the mounting surface and need to enter the
arm through the side, open the conduit hole in the side of the arm with the instructions given in
Opening the conduit hole
2. The factory secures the end of the safety chain to the collar opening with a quick tie (Figure 32). To
keep the safety chain from slipping into the arm, leave the safety chain tied until you attach the dome
to the arm.
Figure 32. Leaving the safety chain tied
For all installations, heed these cautions:
• Complete all installation steps before supplying power to the dome.
• To ensure proper operation of a PTZ unit, install the mount level.
• For safety, the mounting surface, hardware, and procedure used for securing the dome must
support the weight of the dome, mount (if used), cables, and any structural or environmental
vibration according to local codes. See Table 1,
