REVEAL Installation Instructions:
Step 1:
Read this manual before starting the installation. There are several things to consider before
mounting an architectural camera like the REVEAL.
When locating the REVEAL, consider camera and meeting participant viewing angles, lighting conditions, possible line of
site obstructions and check for in-wall obstructions where the camera is to be mounted. Pick a mounting location to
optimize the performance of the camera. Avoid locating lighting elements directly above the REVEAL camera.
The REVEAL system was designed to use the wall cavity of a 2” x 4” (1.5: x 3.5”) stud with a 1/2” to 5/8” drywall. For wall
systems that use a lesser depth stud, a simple extension frame can be fabricated and finished by the integrator or the
owner’s contractors to support the REVEAL system.
Step 2:
Prior to starting work, please review and verify the contents of the system that was purchased (see pages 4 through 6).
Please contact Vaddio Tech Support if any parts are missing. It is difficult to install an incomplete system.
Step 3:
Carefully measure the position of the camera enclosure and mark the drywall accordingly. The size of the wall opening
should be 6.0” tall x 8.75” wide a small ¼” tall notch can be cut in the drywall in order to more easily allow the camera
enclosure to slip into the wall after the Cat. 5 cables are connected (see diagram below). Check the wall for studs before
cutting the drywall. In some cases, part of a stud may require removal and this should be done by qualified personnel.
Step 4:
Carefully cut the drywall. Tape the edges of the cut drywall with masking tape to keep the gypsum dust from infiltrating
the camera enclosure and making a dastardly and significant drywall mess.
Ease the camera into the wall opening and
check for fit. Using the level, position the camera enclosure into the hole and mark the holes for the spiral wall anchors
and screws.
Step 5:
Remove the camera enclosure from the wall and install the spiral wall anchors on the marks drawn in Step 4.
Use an accurate level to position the enclosure
opening and trace a line to fit the back of the
enclosure leaving a ¼” tall notch above the RJ-45
connectors to help ease the camera inside the wall.
The face frame will cover the ¼” notch.
Cut this area out only after verifying that no studs
or obstructions exist behind the drywall.
Cut the hole to 6.0” tall x 8.75” wide as stated
above.
