Precautions
• Refer installation work to the dealer.
Installation work requires technique and experiences. Failure to observe this may cause fire,
electric shock, injury, or damage to the product.
• Be sure to consult the dealer.
• Use only the specified camera.
Failure to observe this may cause a fall of an inappropriate camera resulting in injury or acci-
dents.
• Mount WV-NF302 on this bracket exclusively.
• Select an installation area that can support the total weight.
If a selected area is too weak to support the total weight, a fall of the product may occur resulting
in injury.
• Installation work shall be started after sufficient reinforcement.
• Avoid installing this bracket in the locations where salt damage occurs or corrosive gas is
produced.
Otherwise, the mounting portions will deteriorate and accidents such as a fall of the camera may
occur.
• The screws and fixation mechanisms shall be tightened securely.
Failure to observe this may cause a fall of the camera resulting in injury.
• Periodic inspections shall be conducted.
Rust on the metal parts or screws may cause a fall of the product resulting in injury.
• Consult the dealer for the inspections.
• Do not rub the edges of metal parts with your hand.
Failure to observe this may cause injury.
• Make sure that the installation area is strong enough to hold the total weight of the camera
assembly (approx. 0.93 kg {2.05 lbs.}) before installation.
• The ceiling mount bracket can be installed only when there is a space whose height is 114
mm {4.49"} or more above a ceiling board.
• The ceiling mount bracket can be installed on a ceiling board whose thickness is 30 mm
{1.18"} or less.
• The camera and the ceiling mount bracket should be fixed using the provided fixing
screws, and make sure that the both of them are fixed firmly.
• Be sure to remove this product if it is not in use.
• When the ceiling mount bracket is not necessary anymore, remove from the ceiling.
• Avoid installing in the following locations.
• Locations where it may get wet from rain or water splash (not only outdoor)
• Locations where a chemical agent is used such as a swimming pool
• Locations subject to steam and oil smoke such as a kitchen
• Locations where radiation or x-ray emissions are produced
• Locations where it may be damaged by briny air such as seashores
• Locations where the temperature is not within –10 °C to +50 °C {14 °F to 122 °F}.
• Locations subject to vibrations (This product is not designed for on-vehicle use.)
• Locations where the temperature may rapidly change such as the peripheral areas of the air
outlets of air conditioners or doors facing outside. (In case of installing the camera in such
locations, the dome cover may become foggy or condensation may be caused on the cover.)
• The screws must be tightened with an appropriate tightening torque according to the mate-
rial and strength of the installation area. After tightening the screws, perform visual check
to ensure tightening is enough and there is no backlash.

Installations
Be sure to read "Precautions" before installation. It is recommended to read them while referring the
operating instructions of the camera together.
1. Make a hole of 160 mm {6.30"} diameter using a specialized tool, etc.
When it is impossible to make a precise hole
since no specialized tool is at hand or when
it is impossible to use it because of the loca-
tion, trace the hole shape using the provid-
ed template.
Important:
• Make a hole precisely. When the opened
hole is bigger or deformed too much, the
ceiling mount bracket cannot be stuck on
the ceiling board securely.
2. Position two of the spring hooks of the bracket as shown in the illustration below.
When the ceiling mount bracket is installed after positioning the spring hooks in the opposite
side, they may become hard to pull out.
