Mounting on a Ceiling

This topic describes how to mount the unit on a ceiling using the supplied ceiling bracket.

Warning mark

  • To mount the unit on a ceiling, ask a professional contractor.
  • When mounting on a ceiling, make sure that the mounting surface and mounting material (excluding accessories) can support 200 kg (440 lb 15 oz) or more, and mount the unit as described in this Help Guide. If the mounting is not sturdy enough, the unit may fall and cause serious injury.
  • Attach the supplied fall prevention wire rope to the unit to prevent the unit from falling.
  • When the unit is mounted on a ceiling, check that the mounting has not become loose once a year. Shorten the inspection interval according to the usage conditions.

Installation note

  • To prevent unit failure, do not hold the camera head while working.
  1. Check the ceiling mounting accessories and mounting space.

    Before you start, check that you have the following parts.

    • Ceiling bracket (A) (1)
    • Ceiling bracket (B) (1)
    • Fall prevention wire rope (1)
    • +PSW M3×8 screws (6)
    • +PSW M4×8 stainless steel screw for fall prevention wire rope (1)

    Note

    • The fall prevention wire rope is designed to support the unit when suspended. Do not apply any load to it other than the load of the unit.

    Mounting space

    Refer to the following drawing when determining the mounting location and direction, taking into consideration the space required for turning the lens and the wiring at the rear of the unit.

    A: Camera head range of movement (ø199 mm)

    B: Mounting wire rope feed hole (ø20 mm)

    Note

    • Mount on a ceiling (such as concrete) with sufficient strength.
    • To mount the unit on a ceiling with insufficient strength, provide sufficient reinforcement.
    • Mount it in a stable location that is not subject to vibration. Locations subject to vibration may cause vibration in the image.
    • If the unit must be mounted on an inclined surface, keep it within ±15° of the horizontal and take measures to prevent the unit from falling.
  2. Attach ceiling bracket (A) to the bottom of the unit using the four supplied screws (M3×8).

    Caution mark

    Use the supplied screws. The use of screws other than the supplied screws may damage the interior of the unit.

  3. Attach ceiling bracket (B) to the ceiling using a mounting plate (option).

    Note

    • If the strength of the ceiling material cannot be ensured, install the unit between a concrete ceiling and ceiling board using mounting plate that is supported by anchor bolts.

    A: Concrete ceiling

    B: Anchor bolts (4, not supplied)

    C: Nuts (4, not supplied)

    D: Washers (4, not supplied)

    E: Mounting plate (not supplied)

    F: Ceiling board

    G: Ceiling bracket (B)

    H: Mounting screws (4, not supplied)

    Attach the bracket, according to the orientation of ceiling bracket (B).

    Note that when mounted on a ceiling, the front of the camera is on the opposite side of the ceiling bracket in comparison to a normal upright mounting. The arrow direction in the figure indicates the front of the camera. Adjust the camera orientation so that it faces forward.

    Note

    • The mounting screws and mounting surface material are the responsibility of the customer.
  4. Attach the fall prevention wire rope to the ceiling.

    Use an M5 (3/16 inch) hexagon socket head cap screw (not supplied) for the mounting screw.

    A: Concrete ceiling

    B: Wire rope (supplied)

    C: M5 (3/16 inch) hexagon socket head cap screws (not supplied)

    D: Ceiling board

    E: Ceiling bracket (B)

    E: Mounting plate (not supplied)

  5. Pull the fall prevention wire rope through the hole in the center of ceiling bracket (B), and attach it to the unit.

    Route the fall prevention wire rope through the wire rope metal loop of ceiling bracket (A) and attach it securely to the unit using the supplied screw (M4×8).

    A: Supplied wire rope

    B: Supplied screw (M4×8)

    C: Wire rope metal loop

    Warning mark

    Use the supplied screw. The use of a screw other than the supplied screw may reduce the effectiveness of the wire rope function.

    Note

    • It is recommended that one person holds the unit as shown in the following diagram while another person mounts the unit.

    • Do not hold the camera head while mounting the unit. There is a risk of damage or injury if the unit is dropped or falls.
    • Take care when wiring that electrical connectors and cables do not become short-circuited by the fall prevention wire rope.
    • The combined unit should be suspended alone (maximum estimated mass 3.5 kg (7 lb 11 oz)). To prevent the unit falling, do not exceed the maximum expected mass.
  6. Align the edges of ceiling brackets (A) and (B).

    A: Ceiling bracket (A) attached to the unit

    B: Ceiling bracket (B)

    C: Align the edges

  7. Insert the protrusions of ceiling bracket (B) into the holes (4 places) of ceiling bracket (A).
  8. Hook the fall prevention wire rope around the wire rope protrusion of ceiling bracket (A), push the unit in the direction shown in the illustration approximately 10 mm to temporarily secure it in place.

    A: Fall prevention wire rope

    B: Protrusion insertion holes (4 places)

    C: Wire rope protrusion

  9. Attach ceiling bracket (A) and ceiling bracket (B) using the two supplied screws (M3×8).

  10. Check the mounting status.

    Specifically, check the following items.

    • Mounting screws are correctly attached.
    • Fall prevention wire rope is correctly attached and is not twisted.
    • Unit is mounted level (without tilt or wobble).

Note

  • To operate the pan/tilt correctly when the unit is mounted on a ceiling, set [Pan-Tilt] – [Direction] – [Ceiling] to [On] in the web menu.
