Installation area for this product

• Make sure that the installation area is strong enough to hold the total weight of the camera assembly before installation.

• The installation area shall have 210 mm {8-9/32 inches} or more space behind the ceiling.
  

• The thickness of the ceiling board for installation can range between 9 mm {3/8 inches} and 40 mm {1-9/16 inches}.

Do not place this product in the following places:

• Locations where it may get wet from rain or water splash (including under the eaves, etc.)
• Locations where a chemical agent is used such as a swimming pool
• Locations subject to moisture or oil smoke such as a kitchen
• Locations that have a specific environment that is subject to an inflammable atmosphere or solvents
• Locations where a radiation, an X-ray, a strong radio wave or a strong magnetic field is generated
• Locations where corrosive gas is produced, locations where it may be damaged by briny air such as seashores
• Locations where the temperature is not within the specified range (–10 °C to +55 °C {14 °F to 131 °F})
• Locations subject to vibrations, such as on vehicles, marine vessels, or above product lines (This product is not designed for on vehicle use.)
• Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in temperature.

Mounting method for this product

This product is designed to be used as a pendant mount camera. If the product is mounted on a desktop or at a slant, it may not work correctly and its lifetime may be shortened.

Procure anchor bolts separately.

An anchor bolt for mounting the bracket on a ceiling is not supplied with the ceiling mount bracket. Prepare them according to the material and strength of the area where the product is to be installed.

• Anchor bolt: M10, recommended
• Minimum pull-out strength: Make sure that more than 5 times of the total weight including the camera body can be supported.

Screw tightening

• The screws and bolts must be tightened with an appropriate tightening torque according to the material and strength of the installation area.
• Do not use an impact driver. Use of an impact driver may damage the screws or cause tightening excessively.
• When a screw is tightened, make the screw at a right angle to the surface. After tightening the screws or bolts, perform checks to ensure that the tightening is sufficient enough so that there is no movement or looseness.

Make sure to remove this product if it will no longer be used.

Major Operating Controls

< Installation sample>

Installations

Be sure to read “Precautions” (☞ page 3) and “Precautions for installation” (☞ page 4) before installation. Read the operating instructions for the camera to be installed as well.

Step 1

Put Template A (accessory) against the ceiling and make the ø220 mm {8-21/32 inches} hole.

Step 2

Install two anchor bolts (M10 recommended) into the ceiling.
One anchor is used for securing the mounting chassis, and the other anchor is used for connecting the safety wire.

1. Determine the anchor bolt (for securing the mounting chassis) length by use of Template B (accessory).
2. Position the nut by use of Template B (accessory) and mount the nut. (The distance between the bottom surfaces of the ceiling board and nut shall be 183 mm {7-7/32 inches}.)
   

Important:

• The pull-out strength of the anchor bolt shall be more than 5 times of the total weight of the installed devices (including the camera body, ceiling mount bracket, anchor bolts, and all other parts).
• When the existing anchor bolt is used as an anchor bolt for connecting the safety wire, make sure that the distance between the anchor bolt and camera mounting position is 1 m {3.28 feet} or less.

Step 3

Secure the safety wire angle (accessory) to the anchor bolt (for connecting the safety wire), and connect the safety wire (accessory).

①  Mount a nut so that the safety wire angle is secured on the anchor bolt.
②  Disconnect the safety wire from the safety wire angle.
③  Engage the face marked ❶ with the anchor bolt.
④  Bend the face marked ❷ .
⑤  Connect the safety wire to the safety wire angle again.
⑥  Engage the nut from beneath, and secure the safety wire angle with top and bottom nuts.
⑦  Engage another nut from beneath to tighten and secure the nut that was engaged from beneath in y in a double nut fashion.

• The nut is omitted in the illustration above.

Note:

When the existing anchor bolt that has been installed is used for connecting the safety wire, the use of 2 spacer nuts is helpful.

Step 4

Attach the paper gauge (accessory) to the camera mounting stage.

1. Fold the double-sided tape side of the paper gauge at a right angle as shown in the drawing.
   

2. Peel off the backing from the double-sided tape of the paper gauge.
   

3. Turn this bracket sideways as shown in the following drawing, and attach the paper gauge to the camera mounting stage. Attach the paper gauge so that it passes through the slit shown in the following drawing.
   

Step 5

1. Pass the cables from the ceiling through the loop of the tie wrap attached to the mount bracket in advance. Tie wraps used for passing the cables vary with models. The cable passing position is in the following drawing.
   Models with use of camera mount bracket (accessory to the camera): tie wrap A or tie wrap C in the following drawing Models with use of base unit (component of the camera): tie wrap B or tie wrap D in the following drawing.
   

2. Attach the safety wire to the mounting chassis as shown in the following drawing. Insert the mounting chassis into the hole made in Step 1, and put them into the roof space.
   At this moment, the logo direction at mounting the decorative cover finally can be aligned with the III direction of the mounting chassis.
   Therefore, if you care about the brand logo direction, determine the direction using the III direction.
   

Step 6

Secure the mounting chassis to the ceiling board with the ceiling board fixing screws (4 positions, screws with label ① ).

1. Engage the top of the mounting chassis with the anchor bolt (for securing the mounting chassis).

2. Secure the mounting chassis by turning the ceiling board fixing screws clockwise when viewing it from beneath. Turning the ceiling board fixing screws clockwise provides ceiling board tightening between the bottom of the mounting chassis and ceiling board fixing bracket resulting in mounting chassis securing.
   Recommended tightening torque: 0.78 N·m {0.58 lbf·ft}
   Important:
   • When securing the mounting chassis on the ceiling, make sure that the 4 ceiling board fixing brackets are open as shown in the figure ③ .

3. Secure the top of the mounting chassis with double nuts.
