CABLE AND POWER GUIDELINES (Detailed info on Page 10)
This chart shows the proper current needed for power supplies for
Q-View™ cameras. Use Class 2 Power only. Input voltage must be
24 VAC/VDC.
CAMERAS VOLTAGE CURRENT POWER
1 24 VAC/VDC 102mA 2.5W
2 24 VAC/VDC 210mA 5W
3 24 VAC/VDC 331mA 7.9W
4 24 VAC/VDC 487mA 10.9W
Use the formula below to select the correct power supply for cameras
connected in parallel (positive to positive, negative to negative):
Total current for a 24 VAC system:
TOTAL CURRENT = (202mA x total number of cameras)
Note: 202mA is camera plus power supply
4. Align the eyelet on the cord with the hole located on the inside of the housing tile
opening.
5. Insert the 6-32 x 1/2 round Phillips head screw through the hole and eyelet. Place
the star lockwasher and 6-32 hex nut on the screw and tighten.
6. Fit the 2 x 2 housing tile in the desired location. The housing tile will rest on the
ceiling grid. (Be sure the grid is adequately supported).

1. Make the proper connections to the incoming power. The RED wire is
POSITIVE (+), the BLACK wire is NEGATIVE (-) (For reference purposes. Polarity is not
important in this unit). The GREEN wire, labeled Ground, is GROUND for VAC or VDC
connections. NOTE: Connect green ground wire to earth ground (metal conduit, metal
stud, etc.)
2. Attach the BNC connectors to the video in.
CAMERA ADJUSTMENTS
1. After completing installation of the housing, use the segmented arms to adjust each
