Cabling Note: Run all cabling through the mounting pipe before terminating connectors.
Step 1:
For Suspended Ceiling Installations: Mark a position in the center of a ceiling tile where the ceiling mount is to be
placed. For suspended ceilings, the hole must be positioned at the mid-point of the ceiling tile (see Figure 2).
For Drywall Ceiling Installations: Mark a position in the ceiling and making sure that there are no obstructions
(structural supports, electrical, etc.) in the area above the ceiling where the mount will be installed.
Step 2:
Drill or cut a 1” diameter hole in the tile or drywall at the point where you marked the hole.
For Suspended Ceiling Installations: Place the support brace on the top of the ceiling tile and align the support
brace hole with the hole drilled in the ceiling tile.
NOTE: There are six holes drilled in the support brace for attaching the support brace to the building structure
where building codes require this additional support.
For Drywall Ceilings: Place the 5” flange over the 1” hole, and mark the four locations in the flange to install
appropriate hardware for mounting the flange to the ceiling.

Step 3:
Thread the Jam Nut onto the bottom of the 12” or 24” pipe (the side with the shorter threads), then thread the
Camera Platform all the way onto the pipe. Back the Camera Platform off the pipe (no more than one rotation)
until the back of the Camera Platform aligns with the cable pass-thru. Carefully tighten the Jam Nut down onto
the threaded nut of the Camera Platform (see Figure 4).
Step 4:
Thread the painted 5” flange onto the other end of the 12” or 24” pipe (see Figure 5).
