Installation Instructions

  1. Locate the network drop that is ran back to the POE switch. (If the switch does not have POE, you will need to insert a POE injector back at the network closet.)
  2. Using the starbit driver, remove the rubber feet from the bottom of the Axis F41 Main Unit, and replace it with the Axis F8001. This will allow the F41 to be mounted to drywall above your drop ceiling.
  3. Find the spot where you will be mounting your F41 above the drop ceiling. Using four wall dogs (or anchors and screws), mount the F41 into the drywall above your drop ceiling. (Note, if there is no drop ceiling make other arrangements for mounting.)
  4. Connect the network drop into the RJ-45 (f) on the F41 that reads PoE. When connected you should see activity on the link lights. If no link lights appear, ensure that POE is enabled on your POE switch and that the network drop is plugged in.
  5. Take the 3.5mm Male to Male audio cable and connect it from the 3.5mm jack labeled AUDIO in on the F41

  6. Assemble the mounting unit for the Axis F1005. Mount the camera into your drop ceiling using toggle bolts. Run the attached RJ-11 cable to the input labeled CAM on the Axis F41 Main Unit. Ensure you drill a hole in the drop ceiling to feed the RJ-11 cable through.

  7. Strip the jacket off the 22/2, revealing the red, black, and common (bare wire) on both sides of the cable. Remove the string and plastic casings covering the red and black cables. Strip the red and black jackets off the wire exposing the copper. Cut copper evenly on both ends (See picture)

  8. Drill a hole into the piece of ceiling tile that you will be mounting the Louroe Verifact-A. Feed one end of the the 22/2 audio cable through the hole. Connect the audio cable to the Verifact-A phoenix terminal as follows; Red to A, Black to B, Common (bare wire) to C (See Picture). Using Toggle bolts, secure the Verifact-A to the drop ceiling tile.

  9. Connect the other end of your 22/2 cable to the terminal on the IFPX labeled MIC/SPEAKER A B C SP. The connections will be as follows: Red to A, Black to B, Common (bare wire) to C (See Picture)

Connecting the STM-1

  1. Cut a short piece of 22/2 cable (approx. 1 inch). Strip the jacket and 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. Connect the cable we ran for power to both PWR terminals (Red to +, Black to the other terminal) of the STM-1. Connect the other side to the IO phoenix connector (Red to 2, Black to 1).
  4. Connect the cable we ran for audio to both LO-Z OUTPUT terminals (Red to +, Black to -, and ground to the ground terminal) of the STM-1. Connect the other end of the 3.5mm cable to the in on the F41.

  5. We will need another length of 22/2 cable intended for your microphone; connect it to the input terminals of the STM-1 (Red to +, Black to -, ground to the ground terminal). Using the Velcro that comes with the STM-1, attach the STM-1 to the wall above drop ceiling hidden from sight.

(NOTE; If there are 2 cameras in the room, duplicate these steps to get to the 2nd camera. HI-Z output can feed 2 cameras, but no more. If there are 2 Shure MX202i Microphones, duplicate steps. An STM-1 can power and gather audio from 2 Shure 202i mics.)

Connecting and Mounting the Microphone

  1. Strip the jacket of the XLR pigtail revealing the red, black and common (silver) cables inside. Strip away a portion of the red and black cables inside the pigtail, revealing the copper wire inside. (This is typically already done before shipment from the office.) At the end of the 22/2 cable (connected to the STM-1 input), twist the wires together with the pigtail (red to red, black to black, common to common). Secure these with B-Connectors (See Pictures). Repeat this process if necessary for 2 microphones.

  2. Drill a hole into the center of the single gang plate using the ½” paddle bit, and a hole into the desired location for the microphone on your drop ceiling tile with a 1" paddle bit. Then secure this single gang plate to the desired location of the microphone on your drop ceiling tile using a pair of toggle bolts.

  3. Run your MX202i through the ½” hole in the ceiling tile and single gang plate. Connect the 4 Pin XLR-F end of the MX202i, to the 4 pin XLR-M adapter. Next, connect the XLR-F (that is ran back to the STM-1), to the XLR-M of the adapter. Lastly, use the rubber stopper to plug the ½” hole in the single gang plate.
  4. Adjust the length of the cable of the microphone to your desired length, hiding the remainder in the ceiling near the STM-1. Attach the windscreen to the MX202i.
