Installation guide
Thank you for purchasing Vista’s universal mounting box solution, this mounting box and its
associated front plate have been designed to create a simple quick and waterproof method of
installing the majority Vista and Xeno cameras.
The back box is supplied with:
1 x 32mm waterproof gland
3 x Rubber gland inners, to suit different camera cable thicknesses
1 x accessory pack, including 6mm and 12mm machine screws, rawl plugs, screws and washers.
2 x 20mm cable entry glands
2 x Allen screws for attaching the front plate
1 x Allen key
Installation of Back box:
1. The back box can be either wall or ceiling mounted. (Optional corner mounting brackets are
available). Use fixings suitable for the structure that the box is being installed onto. General
purpose screws and rawl plugs are supplied, but may not be suitable for all applications.
2. Bring the connection cables into the mounting box via any of the 3 20mm entry holes, use the
20mm gland to waterproof the connections.
Installation of camera onto front plate:
1. Choose the correct front plate to match the camera model (sold separately)
2. Screw the 32mm gland (supplied with back box) into the large hole on the front plate, remove
central rubber bung:
3. Pull camera cable through the centre of the 32mm gland, match camera housing to
corresponding threaded holes on the front of the plate and secure with the supplied machine
screws. (Note: Some domes require O-rings to be fitted inside, ensure these are fitted and
washers are used to make the camera housing watertight – consult the cameras installation
instructions).
4. Select the rubber bung with the central hole closest in size to the cable supplied with the
camera. Each bung is split along one side to allow it to be wrapped around the cable, remove it
from the crenulated plastic collar:
5. Open the split on the rubber bung and place it around the camera cable, placing the end with
the largest diameter step closest to the 32mm gland. Next slide the crenulated plastic ring over
the rubber bung and push up the cable into the 32mm gland:
6. Place the threaded section of the 32mm gland over the camera cable and tighten.
7. Connect the front plate to the back box using the Allen screws and key supplied:
