the camera for further information about the
compatible models.
This bracket can be used for an area with weak
pull-out strength such as plasterboard in a
double ceiling.
This bracket is an embedded type to reduce
the exposed portion of the camera body.

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 sol-•
vents
Locations where a radiation, an X-ray, a strong radio wave or a strong magnetic field is gener-•
ated
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 onvehicle 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.

Installations
Be sure to read "Precautions" (☞page 3) and "Precautions for installation" (☞page 4) before instal-
lation. 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.
Determine the anchor boltq (for securing the mounting chassis) length by use of Template B
(accessory).
Position the nut by use of Template B (accessory)w 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.

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.
Fold the double-sided tape side of theq
paper gauge at a right angle as shown in
the drawing.
Peel off the backing from the double-sidedw
tape of the paper gauge.

Step 3
Secure the safety wire angle (accessory) to the
anchor bolt (for connecting the safety wire),
and connect the safety wire (accessory).
Mount a nut so that the safety wire angle isq
secured on the anchor bolt.
Disconnect the safety wire from the safetyw
wire angle.
Engage the face markede qwith the anchor
bolt.
Bend the face markedr w.
Connect the safety wire to the safety wiret
angle again.
Engage the nut from beneath, and securey
the safety wire angle with top and bottom
nuts.
Engage another nut from beneath to tightenu
and secure the nut that was engaged from
beneath in yin a double nut fashion.

Turn this bracket sideways as shown in thee
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 draw-
ing.
Step 5
Pass the cables from the ceiling through theq
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.

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

Step 7
Prepare the cables.
Run the cables from the space of the mounting
chassis. The wiring image with the bracket
mounted on the ceiling is described below. Be
careful to prevent the cables from being caught
on the ceiling board fixing bracket or others.

Recommended tightening torque:
0.78 N·m {0.58 lbf·ft}
Step 6
Secure the mounting chassis to the ceiling
board with the ceiling board fixing screws (4
positions, screws with label q).
Engage the top of the mounting chassisq
with the anchor bolt (for securing the
mounting chassis).
Secure the mounting chassis by turning thew
ceiling board fixing screws clockwise when
viewing it from beneath. Turning the ceiling
board fixing screws clockwise provides ceil-
ing board tightening between the bottom of
the mounting chassis and ceiling board fix-
ing 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 e.
Secure the top of the mounting chassise
with double nuts.
