Upper Housing
2.2 Wiring
Be sure that the area directly above the selected location
is clear of obstacles (such as steel beams, headers, pipes,
electrical wiring, etc.) which would interfere with the
mounting of the Omniscan.
All cabling enters the upper housing through a split plate
located on top of the housing. Cable routing is performed
during the installation steps described in Section 2.2
below; it is presented at this point for the convenience
of the installer. Grommets are provided to prevent cable
chafing. Multiple knockouts are also provided on the
side of the upper housing for wiring. Use conduit or
liquid tight fittings when using these knockout holes.
Refer to Figure 1.
2.3 Housing Installation
Three mounting configurations are possible with the
(1) supported by an existing ceiling tile cut for
the Omniscan; (2) supported by a
ceiling panel
option; (3) supported by a
mounting rail kit.

2.3.1 Installation with Existing Tile
CAUTION:
The ceiling tile used in this procedure
A
must be strong enough to support the combined
weight of the
and the camera/lens assembly.
Although the
is not heavy [upper housing
have a combined weight
of
6.9 lb (3.1 kg);
refer to appropriate product specifications for the
weightsofthe cameraandlens], manytypesofceiling
tile have little tensile strength, so special care must
be taken if this installation method is used.

Remove the tile in which the unit is to be mounted.
Using the
as a template, cut a circular
opening in the center of a ceiling tile. Test the fit of
the Omniscan and tile before proceeding with the
next step. The circular flange around the upper
housing rests on top of the tile and supports the
weight of the unit. Refer to Figure 1.
Lift the upper housing of the
into the ceiling
area and rest it on one of the tiles adjacent to the
opening it is going to occupy. Route the cables
through the split plate into the housing as described
in Section 2.2.
Install the tile prepared in Step 1 in the ceiling grid,
making sure it is seated properly.
Reach through the circular opening and move the
upper housing into place in the tile. Install the
camera as described in Section 2.4.
