Installing the ACUIXTM ES Fixed Camera
Note The mounting template for hard ceiling installations is included separately.
1. Select a location to install the housing and prepare the ceiling and/or ceiling tile:
Hard Ceiling
• Using the mounting template, cut a 7 5/8” (194 mm) diameter hole in the ceiling.
If the ceiling is drywall or plaster, it is recommended to seal the entire perimeter of
the hole with tape or plastic channel to prevent dust and material from
contaminating the camera.
Dropped (False) Ceiling
a. Remove the ceiling panel at the installation location.
b. Place the ceiling tile on the dropped ceiling plate (Honeywell part number
517082-7130).
c. Trim the ceiling tile and press it into the dropped ceiling plate.
d. Using the supplied mounting template, cut a 7 5/8” (194 mm) diameter hole in the
ceiling tile flush with the hole in the center of the plate.
2. If required, secure a safety cable to a building support
structure. Attach the safety cable (from the building
support structure) to the outside of the housing by:
a. Threading the safety cable through a looping
sleeve,
b. Attach to the safety cable bracket on the housing,
c. Back through the looping sleeve, and then
d. Crimp the looping sleeve to secure the safety
cable.
3. Unsnap/remove the cable can and pull all the wiring through the cable can wiring
hole. Ensure the wiring extends at least 12 inches (305 mm) past the end of the hole
and cut the cable length to 6 inches (152 mm). See Figures 4and 7.
4. Tighten the wire clamp to hold the wires in place.
5. Snap the cable can back into place by inserting the two tabs on the cable can into the
two holes on the housing to secure it.
6. Insert the cable can and housing through the hole in the ceiling.
a. Turn the wing tab turning screws to make sure the space between the wing tabs
on the housing and the housing flange is greater than the thickness of the ceiling.
• To increase the space, turn the screw clockwise.
• To decrease the space, turn the screw counterclockwise.
b. Make sure the wing tabs on the housing are staggered so the tabs are not at the
same height. See Figure 7.
c. Position the wing tabs flat against the housing.
d. Using a Phillips screwdriver, turn the three screws in the housing clockwise to
rotate the tabs out and tighten the tabs against the ceiling.
• The recommended maximum torque is 1–1.25 N-m (Newton meters) or
0.74–0.92 lbf-ft (pound-force-foot) or 8.85–11.06 lbf-in (pound-force-inch).
