M5525 Shure MX202i

Required Parts And Tools

Locate the network drop above the ceiling either being a male Ethernet end (service loop) or a biscuit jack. This will have been ran back to the POE switch.
Note: If the switch does not have POE, a POE injector will need to be installed at the network closet.
Using the instructions included in the Axis T94P01L box, use the razor to cut a hole into the drop ceiling tile, and assemble the holding bracket for the camera.
Mount bracket to drop ceiling.

Note: The 22/12 pigtail and network cable should already be pre-docked in the camera. If not, you'll have to open the M5525, run the cat 5 cable and pigtail through the mounting bracket and plug it in. (If the camera has both the pigtail and the network cable, simply run them through the bracket above the ceiling.)
Use the screws included with the mounting bracket to affix the M5525 to the recessed mount.
Reattach the dome. Then affix the mounting disc to cover the ceiling tile.
Cut 2 lengths of 22/2 cable long enough to go from the M5525 pigtail to the STM-1. One is for audio; the other is to power the STM-1.
Strip the jacket and wire shielding about 1/2" to expose the wires.
- Connect the cable for power to the pigtail with B-connectors (Red to red, Black to black). Connect the cable for audio (red to yellow; black to white).

Locate the network drop above the ceiling either being a male Ethernet end (service loop) or a biscuit jack.
Note: This will have been ran back to the POE switch. If the switch does not have POE, a POE injector will need to be installed at the network closet.
Make marks on the ceiling tile where the toggle bolts will go, and a place from where our cables will be run.
Carefully use a blade to cut a hole in the tile to run cables.
Note: The 22/12 pigtail and network cable should already be pre-docked in the camera. If not, you'll have to open the M5525, run the cat 5 cable and pigtail through the mounting bracket and plug it in (If the camera has both the pigtail and the network cable, simply run them both through the tile.).
Use the toggle bolts to secure the camera to the ceiling tile.
Reattach the camera dome.
Cut 2 lengths of 22/2 cable long enough to go from the M5525 pigtail to the STM-1. One is for audio; the other is to power the STM-1.
Strip the jacket and wire shielding about 1/2" to expose the wires.
- Connect the cable for power (Red to red, Black to black). Connect the cable for audio (red to yellow; black to white).

Using a stud finder, scan the mount location to ensure the camera is not mounted on a stud.
Using a pencil, mark the four holes for the mount plate.
Using a 3/16" drill bit, drill the marked locations and
Install anchors and attach the mount plate using screws and washers.
Using a hole saw or paddle bit, cut a hole centered in the wall plate where cables will pass through.
Cut two lengths of 22/2 long enough to reach the mounting location of the microphone.
Using glow rods or fish tape, fish the network drop or patch cable in addition to the two sections of 22/2 audio cable through the drywall.
Attach the camera the the mount plate

Connect one end of the 1 inch 22/2 cable to the +PWR terminal and connect the other end into the +PHNTM terminal.
Connect the other end of the 22/2 ran for power to the PWR terminals (Red to +, Black to the other terminal) of the STM-1.
Connect the cable ran for audio to the HI-Z OUTPUT terminals (Red to +, Black to ground) of the STM-1.
Using the Velcro that comes with the STM-1, attach the STM-1 to the wall above drop ceiling hidden from sight.
The microphone will be connected via the input terminals of the STM-1 (Red to +, Black to -, ground to the ground terminal).

(NOTE; If there are 2 cameras in the room, duplicate these steps to get to the 2nd camera. LO-Z OUTPUT can feed 2 cameras, but no more.

Asses the drop ceiling to decide best mounting placement for the MX202i. Avoid tiles adjacent to HVAC or fire safety devices.
Drill a hole into the center of the single gang plate using the ½” paddle bit (if not prefabricated).
Measure center of the drop ceiling tile and drill a similar hole with the ½” paddle bit. #Align the single gang plate to the location of the microphone on the drop ceiling tile using a pair of toggle bolts.
Run the MX202i through the ½” hole in the ceiling tile and single gang plate with the rubber stopper to secure the microphone in place and plugging the ½” hole .
Adjust the length of the cable of the microphone to a desirable length, hiding the remainder in the ceiling near the STM-1. Attach the windscreen to the MX202i.
Run the XLR mini cable to the STM-1 location.
Connect the connect the XLR mini to the 4 pin Male XLR adapter.
Strip away a portion of the red and black cables inside the pigtail, revealing the copper wire inside.
- The microphone will be connected via the input terminals of the STM-1 (Red to +, Black to -, ground to the ground terminal).
Connect the female XLR to the Male XLR adapter
