Installation Instructions

Drop Ceiling Mount WARNING

• The combined weight of the camera and mounting bracket is approximately 1.7 kg (3.7 lb.).

Make sure that the ceiling material is strong enough to support this weight. NOTICE

• The ceiling tile should be 5–60mm (0.2–2.4in.) thick.
• 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. If the switch does not have POE, a POE injector will need to be installed at the network closet.

1. Remove the ceiling tile in which the drop ceiling mount is to be fitted.
2. Drill a 7 mm (9/32 in) hole in the ceiling tile.
3. Remove the tripod screw from the mounting bracket.
4. Attach the short end of the threaded rod to the camera and tighten.
5. Assemble the camera, ceiling tile and the mounting bracket and tighten the nut.
6. Route and connect all cables to the camera.
7. Connect the power supply to a mains power outlet (100–240 VAC).
8. Install the ceiling tile with the camera mounted on it.

Wall Mount

1. Use a stud finder to locate wall studs, and determine proper placement for the L bracket. Make a mark for the 3 screw holes on the short end of the L bracket, and the area to fish the cables. (We will be using 3/16" wall screws and anchors here).
2. Drill these holes for the anchors, and use a walldozer to drill a hole to fish the cables.
3. Place the anchors, screw the bracket down, and fish our cables (power, network, 3.5mm audio, possible 22/2 for I/O, and possible HDMI cables) down the ceiling through the hole under our bracket.
4. Place the V59 onto the bracket, and secure it with the tripod screw from underneath.
5. Route and connect all cables to the camera (network, audio, power, possible HDMI, possible I/O cable).

Connecting the STM-1

1. You will need to cut a short piece of 22/2 cable (approx. 1 inch). Strip the jacket from the cable, and remove all contents keeping only the red cable. On both ends of the red cable, strip off a piece of the jacket (See picture).

   

2. Connect one end of the 1 inch audio cable to the +PWR terminal and connect the other end of that into the +PHNTM terminal.

   

3. Strip the wiring on the PS-24AS revealing the 2 copper wires inside. Connect the copper to the PWR terminals (White striped to +, Solid Black to the other terminal) of the STM-1.

   

4. Connect 22/2 to the LO-Z OUTPUT terminals (Red to +, Black to -, Bare Wire to Ground) of the STM-1. Ensure you run enough 22/2 cable to your V5914/V5915

   

5. Connect the audio cable that is intended for your microphone to the input terminals of the STM-1 (Red to +, Black to -, Common to the common terminal). Using the Velcro that comes with the STM-1, attach the STM-1 to a safe place (preferably keeping it out of sight).

   

(NOTE If there are 2 cameras in the room, duplicate step 4 using a long enough cable to get to the 2nd camera. If there are 2 Shure MX202i Microphones, duplicate step 5.)

1. Cut the 3.5mm cable in half (one end should already be plugged into the camera. Strip away the jacket exposing the insides. Strip away the red and white jackets in the 3.5mm cable exposing the copper insides. You will need to use a cable tester to check for polarity (the red/white leads are not necessarily positive/negative.) Splice the 3.5mm cable to the 22/2 audio cable coming from the LO-Z output (Red to +, White to -, Copper to Copper). Secure these connections with B-Connectors.

   

   

Connecting and Mounting the Microphone

1. Asses the drop ceiling to decide best mounting placement for the MX202i. Avoid tiles adjacent to HVAC or fire safety devices.
2. 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 your drop ceiling tile using a pair of toggle bolts.

   

3. 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 .
4. 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.

   

5. Run the XLR mini cable to the STM-1 location. Connect the connect the XLR mini to the 4 pin Male XLR adapter.
6. 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).
7. Connect the female XLR to the Male XLR adapter
