STEP #3: Connecting the Cat-5e cabling into the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Motorized Back Box
Assembly.
Installation and Connection of the Cat-5e cabling to the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway:
A. Insert the individually marked and tested three (3) Cat-5e cables necessary for connection to the CeilingVIEW
HD HideAway Motorized Back Box Assembly through the provided ¾” conduit feed-through in the left side of
the Back Box Assembly. Recommended maximum Cat-5e cable length for each cable is 100ft.
Note: Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors!
Note: If terminating the Cat-5e cables on-site, mark and test all cables with a continuity tester to confirm
continuity and proper pin-outs.
B. All three (3) Cat-5e cables connect to the Main Printed Circuit Board (PCBA) located on the inside left of the
CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Motorized Back Box Assembly (see Figure 3). Note: The three (3) RJ-45 jacks
are located at the top right corner of the Main Circuit Board (see Figure 18).
 Lift Power/Lift Trigger In Connector:
The RJ-45 connector on the top right side (as you face the Main
Printed Circuit Board (PCBA) inside the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Motorized Back Box Assembly) is
the Lift Power/Lift Trigger Connector. This RJ-45 connector is configured for connection to the
CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Power Interface Power and Lift RJ-45 Connector.
Do not plug the Lift Power/Lift Trigger RJ-45 connector into the RS-232 or the Camera
Power/Video connector on the Main Printed Circuit Board (PCBA) or damage could
occur to either the lift or the camera and void the warranty.
 RS-232 IN Connector:
This connector is in the center of the three (3) RJ-45 Connectors on the Main
Printed Circuit Board (PCBA). This connector is used to provide PTZ control of the Vaddio ClearVIEW
HD PTZ Camera that is installed for use in the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway motorized camera lift system
from external devices. PTZ camera control can be provided by various Vaddio ProductionVIEW Control
Consoles or a ProductionVIEW Precision Camera Controller (see Figure 27 for a list). PTZ control may
also be controlled by other external control systems such as Crestron® or AMX® or videoconference
codecs (see Figures 27, 28 and 29).
Note: A Vaddio RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter (998-1001-232) is included with the CeilingVIEW HD
HideAway to provide easier integration with external control systems.

Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type connectors do not
work well for professional installations and can be the cause of intermittent connections which
can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or compromising the HSDS™
signals. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper
pin-outs prior to use and connection to Vaddio product.
