Page 5: Preface
Preface This is the GE Legend Installation Manual. It provides an overview of the product and detailed instructions explaining how to install all models. There is also information describing how to contact technical support if you have questions or concerns. For programming and operation instructions, refer to the Legend User Manual. -
Page 6: Introduction
Installation Manual Introduction The installation of domes has been made much easier with many of Legend's innovations. All coaxial and UTP connections are built into the housing, and programming and addressing are site-tied to the housing. Site-tied memory allows you to replace cameras or move them between housings without having to reprogram them for each new site, because the camera will operate using the housing memory. -

System requirements Operational requirements Legend contains a built-in receiver that decodes Figure 1. Basic system commands originating from a compatible controller keypad. A minimum of one keypad is required for operation. See Figure 1. From the keypad, an EARTH GROUND... -
Page 8: Minimum Load Requirements
Legend Installation Manual Minimum load requirements Table 1 lists the load requirements for all Legend dome configurations. For safety, the mounting surface, hardware, and procedure used for securing the dome must support the CAUTION CAUTION weight of the dome, mount (if used), cables, and any structural or environmental vibration according to local codes. -
Page 9: Cable Management
Cable management Follow all local codes for cable management. As a general rule, you can fill a cable conduit to a maximum of 60% of its capacity. You must maintain 40% free space. A variety of factors will determine how many cables you can run into the dome. -
Page 10: Power Requirements
Legend Installation Manual Power requirements All Legend domes require a 24 VAC power supply to operate the domes’ PTZ, camera, and heater/blower (if present). The start-up and running power requirements vary depending on the model (Table 3). Table 3. Power requirements at 24 VAC (±4 VAC) operating voltage... -
Page 11: Installing The Housing And Cables
Installing the housing and cables There are three basic mounting styles: pendant, wall, and flush. A pendant-mount lowers a dome from a ceiling, a wall-mount extends a dome from a wall, and a flush-mount raises a dome’s bubble even with a ceiling. -

Page 17: Preparing The Cables
Preparing the cables Which and how many cables you will be preparing depends upon whether you are setting up your dome to transmit video via its coaxial or UTP source, how many alarms and relays you are connecting in addition to the video, data, and power cables, and if you will be installing an Ethernet cable for flash upgrades. -
Page 18: Wiring And Addressing The Dome
Legend Installation Manual Wiring and addressing the dome For basic operation, you will be connecting data, video, and power cables to the dome. For advanced operation, you can also connect any combination of Ethernet, alarm, or relay cables to the dome. How many cables you will be feeding into the housing depends upon how many alarms and relays you are connecting in addition to the video, data, and power cables, and if you will be installing an Ethernet cable for flash upgrades. -
Page 19: Wiring The Housing Board
Use the provided 2-pin power terminal block. If you are using a heavier gauge cable, ensure that it is properly seated in the connector. Power in the Legend domes is not polarity sensitive. -

Page 28: Turning On The Passcodes
Legend Installation Manual Turning on the passcodes The last task of installing the dome is turning on the passcodes, if desired, before going to the user manual to program the dome. The passcodes control who has access to the features of your dome. Only the installer through the installer passcode has permission to turn on, turn off, or change the passcodes. - Page 29 Figure 24. First screen of programming interface when passcodes are upon initial installation you can directly turned off access the programming interface without a passcode. Note: For complete instructions for navigating and programming the programming interface, refer to the Legend User Manual (1052027).
