Installations

Be sure to read "Precautions" before installation. It is recommended to read them while referring the operating instructions of the camera together.

1. Make a hole of 160 mm {6-5/16 inches} diameter using a specialized tool, etc.

When it is impossible to make a precise hole since no specialized tool is at hand or when it is impossible to use it because of the location, trace the hole shape using the provided template.

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.

Loosen the clamping screws until the length between the clamp plates becomes wider that the thickness of the ceiling board, and then clamp the ceiling board by tightening the clamping screws.

Important:

• When the ceiling board is the plasterboard, make sure that no crack was made on the ceiling board by clamping.

4. Connect the cables to the camera.

Refer to the operating instructions of the camera.
