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 29.

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 550 cameras, 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.
