7.2 Installing the Unit onto a Mullion or
Metal Doorframe
1. Measure from the floor to the 5-foot mark on the mount-
ing surface. Make a mark at 5 feet.
2. Drill a 3/16” hole in the center of the mullion at the
5-foot mark.
3. Remove a #8 self tapping screw and a wall anchor from
the hardware kit.
4. Insert the wall anchor into the hole and tighten the self
tapping screw until only a 1/8” gap remains under the
screw head.
5. Hang the base of the Height Strip onto the screw using
the keyhole. Refer to
Figure 6
. The two small holes
near the top of the keyhole indicate the 5-foot mark.
Align these holes with the screw and hand-tighten the
screw to hold the base.
6. Use a level to ensure the Height Strip base is held verti-
cally.
7. Use the base as a template to mark the hole location
of the other two mounting holes, as well as mark the
desired through-hole(s) for the power and video cables.
8. Refer to
Figure 7
regarding cable entry into the unit.
9. If running cables from the top of the mullion down to the
unit, use the cable through-hole near the 6-foot mark.
If running cables up to the unit from the floor, use the
cable through-hole below the 4-foot mark. Note: If
running cables through the knockouts on the top or
bottom of the unit, disregard this step.
10. Unscrew the base and set aside. Drill out the remaining
two mounting holes (3/16” drill bit) and insert the
remaining wall anchors.
11. At the desired through-hole location(s), drill a hole in the
mullion wide enough to accept the customer-provided
power and video cables.
12. Feed the cables down into the mullion and fish them out
of the through-hole.
13. Hang the Height Strip back on the mounting screw in the
mullion and feed the power and video cables into the
unit.
14. Align the base with the 5-foot mark as in Step 5 of this
section and tighten the screw.
15. Insert the remaining two self tapping screws into the
remaining mounting holes and tighten to secure the base
to the mullion.
16. Terminate the ends of the customer-supplied cables as
required, and connect power and video cables to the
camera(s). Be sure to supply 12VDC with the correct
polarity to the camera. The center pin (black/white
wire) should be connected to +12VDC, and the shell of
the connector (black wire) should be connected to DC
Ground.
17. Use the cable ties and tie wrap mounts provided in the
hardware kit to provide strain relief for the customer-
supplied cables inside the Height Strip.
18. Orient the camera(s) left or right as desired. Turn the
cameras by pushing on the lower part of the camera
bracket (closest to the camera bracket axis).
19. Check the insides of the viewing windows (see
Figure 4
)
for any dust or debris. Clean with a Kimwipe™ tissue, if
necessary.
20. Replace the cover and secure with the four M3 flathead
screws.
These holes
indicate the
5-foot mark.
Note that the top
of the keyhole is NOT
the 5-foot mark.
Extra slot provided
for fine adjustments
during installation.
