Pre-Installation
Site Evaluation
The following must be determined prior to installation:
Power Source
The transmitter, receiver and corner-mount camera will each require a power source.
Ensure there is a 115 Volt electrical outlet available on the rooftop of the elevator cab;
this outlet will power both the transmitter and corner-mount camera.
A 115 Volt AC electrical outlet will also be required at the receiver location in the pit.
Cabling routes
Hardwiring the video cable from the receiver to your monitoring location will be required;
consider this in determining whether your receiver will be mounted in the elevator pit
or in the mechanical penthouse.
Clearances
The transmitter and receiver location must be clear of any moving mechanisms including but not
limited to traveling cable, counter-weight, cabling trough, guide rails, brakes, door mechanics,
sensors and safety devices.
Line-of-Sight
Consider the path that the wireless video will travel between the transmitter and receiver.
Line-of –sight is defined as a clear and unobstructed view between the transmitter and receiver.
This will determine where you will mount the transmitter (roof or under-carriage of elevator cab)
and the receiver (mechanical penthouse or elevator pit).
Every elevator installation is unique – These guidelines may or may not apply to your particular application.

Adjusting Camera Focus & Tilt
To adjust the camera tilt use a Phillips
screwdriver. Loosen the two lock-tight screws on
both sides of the support bracket.
Adjust tilt up / down and re-tighten to set.
I) To adjust camera focus: Use a micro Philips screwdriver
to loosen the lock-tight screw on the top of the lens.
Warning: Camera has a wide depth of field
and may not require adjustment
II) Adjust the focus by carefully rotating the lens left and right.
III) Turn the lock-tight screw clockwise to tighten and set the lens.
Power the camera and your LCD monitor
locally to verify focus and viewing angle.

Securing Power & Video Cable to Exterior Cab
Warning!!! The video cable must be clear of any moving mechanisms including but not limited to:
Traveling cable, counter-weight, cabling trough, guide rails, brakes, door mechanics, sensors and safety
devices. To ensure compliance with the safety standards and laws in your Country, State or City, consult
with your local Elevator authority for guidelines pertaining to properly securing cable
to the roof, exterior wall and cab platform prior to installation.
Your 25’ video cable is connected to your camera and now on the roof of the elevator cab.
Run the video cable, which is attached
to your camera from the rooftop
of the elevator to the undercarriage of the cab
where your transmitter will later be mounted.
Run the 25’ power cord included in your kit
from the rooftop of the elevator to the undercarriage
of the cab, which will power your transmitter
after installation.
Important: To prevent injury and damage
to the system, do not connect the power
until after your transmitter is fully installed.
Secure both the video cable and power cable
with conduit or cable-clips to the elevator cab
to ensure they do not move after installation.

Opening & Closing the All Weather Enclosure
To make video and power connections we must access the interior of the enclosure by removing the front
cover. The front cover can be removed two ways:
Loosen screws using a Phillips or flat head
(slot)
screwdriver
WARNING!!! When closing the
enclosure do not over-tighten.

Attach the base plate and enclosure pivot
plate of the BRK-250 bracket using
two 4” x 11/32” mounting screws, one
screw per side.
Mounting the Transmitter
Warning: Not all elevator cabs are the same. The following is for illustration purposes only.
Consult with the elevator manufacturer for detailed information pertaining to the layout
and construction of the elevator undercarriage, shaft and ideal Tx & Rx mounting locations.
Mount the base plate of the BRK-250 mounting bracket
to the under-carriage of the elevator cab using four
screws or bolts (not included). Ensure the mount is
secure and capable of supporting the weight of the
transmitter. Mounting plugs are suggested.
Insert the four 4” x 11/32” mounting screws
into each screw port of the all weather
enclosure.
Fasten the mounting bracket to the IP-
67 enclosure by tightening the
11/32”bolts until snug.
Do not over tighten.
Replace the front cover of the transmitter.
Do not over tighten the screws as this can
crack or cause damage to the front cover of
the unit.

VIDEO & AUDIO CABLE TERMINATION
Do not use video or audio cable that is less than ¼” in diameter, as this may not
allow a proper seal when the cable gland is tightened. If a tight seal is not made
between the cable gland and the video cable, there is a chance of water leaking into the
enclosure, causing serious damage and voiding the warranty.
Loosen the desired cable gland.
Feed the video and audio coax cable starting from the outside of the
IP-67 enclosure through the cable gland hole. VideoComm Technologies
recommends the use of RG-59 or higher grade coaxial cable for video
and audio terminations. At this time, attach your BNC-Male connector to
your Coax Cable and terminate inside.
Tighten the cable gland to ensure a water tight seal.
SEAL UN-USED GROMMETS
If there are cable glands not being used this means
that water can enter the enclosure, causing damage.
To prevent this from happening, use the included
black plugs to seal off any unused cable glands.
If you do not tighten the cable gland you do not have a water
tight seal which may cause water damage and void the warranty

EV-L1R2409D1 WIRELESS ELEVATOR CAMERA SYSTEM REV. A
19
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
WARNING! Unplug power supply before connecting raw leads to power input
terminal. An electrical short can occur, causing harmful damage to the unit. Each unit is Polarity
Protected.
Turn the small cable gland counter clock wise
Feed the power cable wire through the cable gland.
Insert wire leads into the polarity protected power
input terminal and secure.
Assuming that the power wire leads have been terminated properly,
plug in the power supply to an available AC source.
If the GREEN LED power level indicator light turns ON, your power is
within the acceptable operating range. If the system is receiving less
than 12VDC, the RED LED power indicator light will turn ON and the
system will not function. (See Figure B)
Now tighten the grommet to seal the cable
to prevent water damage.
PAIRING THE TRANSMITTER & RECEIVER
VIDEO LOSS LED INDICATOR
Transmitter: If the Yellow LED video loss indicator is ON -
the transmitter is not receiving video from the camera. Check
your video source, cables and connections to the transmitter.
.
Power your Transmitter and Receiver ON. Press and
hold the Pairing Button on both devices within 30
seconds of each other until the power LED indicator light
begins to flash.
Once the power LED indicator light stops flashing, both
devices will be successfully paired (linked)

Attach the base plate and enclosure pivot plate
of the BRK-250 bracket using two 4 x 11/32”
mounting screws, one screw per side.
Mounting the Receiver
Warning!!! The receiver must be clear of any moving mechanisms including but not limited to: traveling
cable, counter-weight, cabling trough, guide rails, brakes, door mechanics, sensors and safety devices. To
ensure compliance with the safety standards and laws in your Country, State or City, consult with your local
Elevator authority for guidelines pertaining to mounting a device in an elevator shaft prior to installation.
Mount the base plate of the BRK-250 to the wall using
four screws or bolts (not included). Ensure the mount is
secure and capable of supporting the weight of the
receiver. Mounting plugs are suggested.
Insert the four 4 x 11/32” mounting screws into
each screw port of the all weather enclosure.
Fasten the mounting bracket to the IP-67 enclosure
by tightening the 11/32” bolts until snug. Do not
over tighten.
After all connections have been made, replace
the front cover of the receiver.
Do not over tighten the screws as this can crack or cause
