8. Install the PowerRail Module 
The PowerRail module: 
•  Converts RS-422 signals from the video 
controller to RS-232 signals. 
•  Sends and receives RS-232 signals from the 
camera trolley 
•  Receives video from the camera trolley and 
sends it to the video controller for display on a 
monitor. 
The module mounts to the top of the first rail 
section. 
Tools, Equipment, and Parts Required for 
this Operation 
•  Proper lift equipment (scissor lift with extended 
work platform is recommended) 
• PowerRail module 
•  Power, data, and RF antenna cables 
• Crimp connectors. 
Procedure 
A. Bolt the module to the rail.  
45cm (17.7in) from the start end of the rail, 
secure the module to the top of the rail using 
four plastic screws, washers and M8 nuts 
installed in the top grooves of the rail. Ensure 
the RF cable from the module reaches the 
intended antenna mounting site within the rail. 
B. Connect power from the module to the rail. 
Attach one end of the 27Vdc and ground wires 
to the module, and crimp their other end to the 
rail. Ensure wires are long enough to reach the 
copper tracks without stretching. 
C. Connect data from the module to the rail. 
Attach one end of the Tx (RS-232 data) and Rx 
(RS-232 data) wires to the module and crimp 
their other end to the rail. Ensure wires are long 
enough to reach the copper tracks without 
stretching. 
D. Connect RS-422 data from the video 
controller to the module.

E.  Connect the RF antenna cable. 
Connect the SMA cable to the PowerRail 
module; and then run the cable from the 
PowerRail module to the location for the RF 
receiving antenna. 
F.  Connect AC to the module. 
Have a certified electrician connect the 
PowerRail module to the ac power source. 
Ensure the power switch on the module is in the 
off position.
