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 70 mm {2-3/4 inches} or more space behind the ceiling.
The thickness of the ceiling board for installation can range between 9 mm {3/8 inches} and 30 mm {1-3/16 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 sol-vents
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 +50 °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 in-vehicle use.)
Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in temperature

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

Because the triangle mark is engraved on the bracket, it can be seen from both the top and bottom sides.

Installations

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

Step1
Make a hole of 160 mm {6-5/16 inches} diameter using a specialized tool, etc.

Make a mounting hole in the ceiling using the template (accessory).

Important:

Make a hole precisely. When the opened hole is bigger or deformed too much, the ceiling mount bracket cannot be stuck on the ceiling board securely.

Step2 Position 2 of the spring hooks of the main body as shown in the illustration below.

When the ceiling mount bracket is installed after positioning them in the opposite side, they may become hard to pull out.

Step3 Fix the plates to the ceiling mount bracket.

Attach the adjustment plates (accessory) or attachment plate (camera accessory) to the ceiling mount bracket first if they are needed for the attachment of the camera body.

Step4 Fix the ceiling mount bracket onto the ceiling board.

Loosen the fixing screws by rotating them counterclockwise until the length between the clamp plates becomes wider than the thickness of the ceiling board. Insert the ceiling mount bracket into the ceiling board, and clamp and secure the ceiling board by rotating the fixing screws clockwise.

Important:

When the ceiling board is plasterboard, make sure that no crack was made on the ceiling board by clamping.

Step5 Connect the cables to the camera.

Remove the enclosure from the camera body and connect the cables from above the ceiling board first. Refer to the operating instructions of the camera for information about connection points and how to make connections.

Step6 Fix the camera body to the ceiling mount bracket.

The triangle mark of the ceiling mount bracket and the direction marker ( UP TOP) of the camera body should be located on opposite sides.

< When using 4 mounting holes>

Fix the camera using 4 fixing screws (accessory).

< When using the adjustment plates>
Fix the camera on the adjustment plates (accessory) attached in step 3 using 2 fixing screws (accessory).

< When using the attachment plate>
Align the attachment fixing screws on the bottom side of the camera with the holes of the attachment plate, and temporarily attach the camera by rotating it about 15° clockwise. Next, secure the camera with the camera fixing screw. (Recommended tightening torque: 0.78 N·m {0.58 lbf·ft})

Important:

When using the adjustment plates, do not pass the cables through the hole of the main body. When the wiring touches the edges of the main body, the cables may get damaged.

Step7
Adjust the angle of view of the camera and attach the enclosure.

Adjust the pan, tilt, etc. of the camera, and then adjust the angle of view. When the adjustment is completed, attach the enclosure to the camera.

Refer to the Installation Guide of each camera for information about how to adjust the angle of view and how to attach and fix the enclosure.
If the AF (Auto Focus) button on the side of the camera body must be pressed after attaching the enclosure, use the AF button push tool (accessory).

Step8 Attach the decorative cover.

Align the bracket with the 3 guides of the decorative cover, pull out both the spring hooks and attach the hooks to the decorative cover. Make sure that the cover is attached to the ceiling with no space between them.

There are 2 decorative covers. When using the attachment plate, use the thick cover. Use the thin cover for other models.
Match the “i-PRO” logos on the cover and on the camera.
