Connecting cables
A single RJ-45 cable connects to the back of the wall plate providing S-video, composite
video, power and RS-232 control. The front of the wall plate provides the break-out
connections for S-video, composite video, power and RS-232 control. The wall plate may be
attached to a standard single gang wall box or placed in an equipment rack in a surface
mount wall box A 50' Cat. 5 cable is included to connect the camera enclosure to the back
of the wall plate. It is best to use the included Cat. 5 cable. In situations where a third party
cable is necessary, the cable must be between 10' and 200' long. Using a longer cable may
cause the camera to lose power.
To connect to the wall plate
1. Plug the Cat. 5 cable into the RJ-45
connector on the rear of the camera
enclosure.

to the RJ-45 connector on the back of the
wall plate.
4. Install the wall plate into an electrical
box.
To connect to the display device and control system
1. Connect the 15 VDC power supply plug
into the 15 VDC jack.
2. Plug the power supply into a standard
wall outlet (100V-240V).
3. Using the 25' S-video cable, connect the
S-video jack to the display device at the
S-video connector.
Note: For display devices that do not have
an S-video connector, use a composite
cable (not included) to connect the
composite jack to the composite connector
on your display device.
4. Connect a serial cable to the control
system, if needed.

so that the positioning indicator is
oriented toward the monitor or
display device. This position is
standard document camera
orientation.
Note: If the positioning indicator is
not oriented toward the monitor or
display device, your image will not
be oriented properly.
7. Fit the tile ring through the hole in
the tile, sandwiching the tile support between
the camera enclosure and the tile.
