Failure to observe this may cause a fall of an inappropriate camera resulting in injury or
accidents.
• Refer to the catalog or the operating instructions of the camera for supported cameras.
• Select an installation area.
If a selected area is too weak to support the total weight, a fall of the product may occur
resulting in injury.
• Installation work shall be started after sufficient reinforcement.
• The installation area shall have 210 mm {8-1/4 inches} or more space behind the ceil-
ing.
• The thickness of the ceiling board for installation can range from 9 mm to 40 mm {3/8
inches to 1-9/16 inches}.
• Avoid installing this bracket in the locations where salt damage occurs or corrosive
gas is produced.
Otherwise, the mounting portions will deteriorate and accidents such as a fall of the camera
may occur.
• The screws and fixation mechanisms shall be tightened securely.
Failure to observe this may cause a fall of the camera resulting in injury.

• Do not rub the edges of metal parts with your hand.
Failure to observe this may cause injury.
• Make sure that the installation area is strong enough to hold the total weight of the camera
assembly before installation.
• The camera and the ceiling mount bracket should be fixed using the provided fixing
screws, and make sure that the both of them are fixed firmly.
• When the ceiling mount bracket is not necessary anymore, remove from the ceiling.
• Avoid installing in the following locations.
• Locations where it may get wet from rain or water splash (not only outdoor)
• Locations where a chemical agent is used such as a swimming pool
• Locations subject to steam and oil smoke such as a kitchen
• Locations where radiation or x-ray emissions are produced
• Locations where it may be damaged by briny air such as seashores
• Locations where the temperature is not within the ambient temperature of the camera in
use and this product
• Locations subject to vibrations (This product is not designed for on-vehicle use.)
• Locations where the temperature may rapidly change such as the peripheral areas of
the air outlets of air conditioners or doors facing outside. (In case of installing the cam-
era in such locations, the dome cover may become foggy or condensation may be
caused on the cover.)
• The screws and bolts must be tightened with an appropriate tightening torque according to
the material and strength of the installation area. After tightening the screws or bolts, per-
form visual check to ensure tightening is enough and there is no backlash.

Installations
Be sure to read "Precautions" before installation. It is recommended to read them while referring
the operating instructions of the camera together.
1. Put Template A (accessory) against the ceiling and make a hole.
qMake 4 holes of 12 mm {1/2 inches} in diameter.
Note: Make these holes so that the
Panasonic logo is directed to the
desired side.
wRemove the center part from the tem-
plate.
eMake a hole of 180 mm {7-1/16 inches}
in diameter.
The ceiling holes are
shown in the drawing
at right. →
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.

2. Install two anchor bolts (locally procured: M10 recommended) into the concrete ceil-
ing.
qInstall an anchor bolt in the
center of the hole made in the
step 1.
wDetermine the anchor bolt
length by use of Template B
(accessory).
eUse Template B to decide the
nut position, and fix it.
(Mount the nut so that the dis-
tance between the bottom sur-
faces of the nut and ceiling is
adjusted to 134 mm {5-1/4
inches}.)
Note: If there is already an anchor bolt installed, the anchor bolt can be used as a 2nd anchor
bolt. Make sure that the distance between the 1st and 2nd anchor bolts is 1 000 mm {3.28
feet} or less before use.
3. Mount the safety wire angle (accesso-
ry) on the 2nd anchor bolt and con-
nect the safety wire (accessory) to the
angle.
qDisconnect the safety wire from the safe-
ty wire angle.
wEngage the face marked qwith the
anchor bolt.
eBend the face marked w.
rConnect the safety wire to the safety wire
angle again.
Note: To use the anchor bolt that was
already installed, the use of 2 spacer
nuts (locally procured) is helpful.

6. Secure the mount bracket to the ceil-
ing board with the ceiling board fixing
screws (4 positions).
Turning the ceiling board fixing screws
clockwise provides ceiling board tighten-
ing between the bottom of the mount
bracket and ceiling board fixing bracket
resulting in mount bracket securing.
(Recommended tightening torque:
0.78 N·m {0.58 lbf·ft})
Important: When securing this bracket
on the ceiling, make sure that the
four ceiling board fixing brackets are
open as shown in the following fig-
ure.
Important: When the ceiling board is the
plasterboard, make sure that no crack
was made on the ceiling board by
clamping.
7. Use double nuts (locally procured) to
secure the mount bracket after insert-
ing the 1st anchor bolt.
4. Connect this mount bracket to the tip
of the safety wire.
5. Insert the 1st anchor bolt into the
mounting hole of the mount bracket.
Note: The Panasonic logo will be direct-
ed to the ceiling board fixing screw
which is secured on the side
described in the illustration.
When inserting the mount bracket
into the ceiling, fit the bracket in the
4 mounting holes of 12 mm {1/2 inch-
es} in diameter on the ceiling.

wConnect the camera cables.
eMount the camera.
a. Align the single rib on the camera
with the protrusion on the camera
attachment.
b. Engage the camera's attachment
mounting hooks with the mounting
holes on the camera attachment,
and then rotate the camera in the
direction of the arrow to secure the
camera to the camera attachment
without any backlash.
Note: When the camera is secured, the
camera attachment protrusion is aligned
with the camera fixing screw hole and
the double rib on the camera.
rSecure the camera to the camera
attachment with the camera fixing
screw.
