5.8GHz All Weather 8 Channel Series Manual Rev. E Video& Audio Cable Installation & Termination Loosen the desired cable gland using a Metric 22mm wrench. (Closest Imperial Size – 7/8”) Feed the video and audio cable through the cable gland hole. VideoComm Technologies recommends the use of RG-59 or higher grade coaxial cable for video and audio. Do not use video / audio cable that is less than ¼ inch in diameter, as this may not allow a proper seal when the cable gland is tightened. If a tight seal is not made between the cable gland and the video cable, there is a chance of water leaking into the enclosure, causing serious damage. The maximum diameter of cable that should be used in the cable gland is ½ an inch diameter. IMPORTANT!!! Attach BNC - male connectors to the video and audio cables after the raw cable has been fed through the cable gland. The BNC (M) connectors are to large to fit through the cable gland hole. Be careful not to damage the rubber seal inside the cable gland as you feed through your video cable. Attach BNC (M) connectors to the video and audio cables. After the BNC (M) connectors have been attached to the wire make terminations to video and audio bulkhead BNC (F) connectors for the device. WARNING!!! If you do not tighten the cable gland, you do not have a watertight seal.

5.8GHz All Weather 8 Channel Series Manual Rev. E Unused Grommet Seals After video and audio cables are installed and terminated you may find there one or more cable glands are not being used. If there are cable glands not being used this means that water can enter the enclosure, causing damage. To prevent this from happening, VideoComm includes black plugs to seal off any unused cable glands. Turn cable gland counter clock wise to loosen. Use a Metric 22mm wrench. (Closest Imperial Size – 7/8”) From the inside of the enclosure, insert black plugs into unused cable glands. Using a Metric 22mm wrench (Closest Imperial Size – 7/8”) , turn the cable gland clock wise to tighten; this will make a watertight seal. Do not over tighten. IMPORTANT!
