Before you install

The following equipment is needed for proper installation:

• String or plumb bob

• Utility knife

• Flathead screwdriver

Be sure to check above the ceiling tile where you plan to install the camera to make sure the area is clear and that there is enough room for the Ceiling DocCam II and all of its components. Use the string or plumb bob to align and center the camera directly above the viewing area. Use the utility knife to cut a hole in the tile and the screwdriver to attach the white trim ring to the camera enclosure.

Mounting the camera

The Ceiling DocCam II is an integrated document/object camera designed to be installed in a suspended ceiling above a table. Recommended ceiling heights are between 8 and 12 feet. The camera module enclosure and the tile support rail allow for exceptional positioning freedom when used with 2'x2' and 2'x4' ceiling tiles. The camera may be used with any tile 2' wide. The tile support rail distributes the weight of the camera into the grid and prevents tile warping.The diagram in Figure 5 shows the completed installation.

Connecting cables

A single RJ-45 cable connects to the back of the wall plate providing S-video, composite video, power and RS-232 control.The front of the wall plate provides the break-out connections for S-video, composite video, power and RS-232 control. The wall plate may be attached to a standard single gang wall box or placed in an equipment rack in a surface mount wall box A 50' Cat. 5 cable is included to connect the camera enclosure to the back of the wall plate. It is best to use the included Cat. 5 cable. In situations where a third party cable is necessary, the cable must be between 10' and 200' long. Using a longer cable may cause the camera to lose power.

To connect to the wall plate

1. Plug the Cat. 5 cable into the RJ-45 connector on the rear of the camera enclosure.

2. Feed the wire through the ceiling to where the wall plate will be connected.

3. Connect the other end of the Cat. 5 cable to the RJ-45 connector on the back of the wall plate.

4. Install the wall plate into an electrical box.

To connect to the display device and control system

1. Connect the 15 VDC power supply plug into the 15 VDC jack.

2. Plug the power supply into a standard wall outlet (100V-240V).

3. Using the 25' S-video cable, connect the S-video jack to the display device at the S-video connector.

Note: For display devices that do not have an S-video connector, use a composite cable (not included) to connect the composite jack to the composite connector on your display device.

4. Connect a serial cable to the control system, if needed.

Attention: Use only the power supply provided with the Ceiling DocCam II. Use of any unauthorized power supply will void warranty.

Figure 10. Connection to a video codec

To mount the camera

1. Attach a string or plumb bob to the ceiling tile with a thumb tack.

2. Position the string directly over ample table space or work surface to allow easy document and object positioning.

3. Using a sharp utility knife, score a 3

/2" diameter hole into the front of the tile centered on the string.

4. Cut out the 3

/2" hole.

5. Place the tile support rail on the back side of the tile and center over the hole.

6. Rotate the camera enclosure module so that the positioning indicator is oriented toward the monitor or display device.This position is standard document camera orientation.

Note: If the positioning indicator is not oriented toward the monitor or display device, your image will not be oriented properly.

7. Fit the tile ring through the hole in the tile, sandwiching the tile support between the camera enclosure and the tile. The camera tile ring will fit into the 3

/2"

opening from the rear of the tile.

8. Position the tile above the ceiling.

9. Attach the white trim ring to the camera enclosure from the front of the tile and tighten gently. This will pull the trim ring, camera module and tile support rail together and firmly hold the camera in position against the ceiling tile.

Programming presets

Presets are used to program defined positions of the camera into a simple, one button preset. You can switch easily from a zoomed in position on a small document to a zoomed out position for documents such as blueprints.This saves the hassle of zooming in and out when presenting documents of a variety of sizes. You can program your ClearOne IR remote with six different presets labeled 0-5.

Note: These presets will only work with the ClearOne IR remote.

To program a preset

1. Zoom in or out to desired view.

2. Press the Set button once. The on-screen notification will indicate "Set number."

3. Press the selected preset button (0-5).

Note

: If you want to reset a preset, just program a new preset using that same number. The new preset will override the old one.
