The CeilingVIEW HD HideAway motorized camera lift system and the Vaddio ClearVIEW HD PTZ
Camera can also be controlled by the Vaddio IR Remote Commander, which is included with all Vaddio
ClearVIEW HD PTZ Cameras.
Camera Power/EZ Power Video IN Connector: This connector provides a two-way function: It receives
the camera power required for the Vaddio ClearVIEW HD PTZ Camera inside the CeilingVIEW HD
HideAway and sends the HD video from the Vaddio ClearVIEW HD PTZ Camera in the CeilingVIEW HD
HideAway to a Vaddio Quick-Connect DVI/HDMI SR or a Quick-Connect SR.
C. Once the three (3) Cat-5e cables to the Main Printed Circuit Board (PCBA) have been installed and
connected, pull any unnecessary cable slack out of the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Motorized Back Box
Assembly and tighten the ¾” conduit clamp on the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Motorized Back Box Assembly
to secure the cables.
Warning: Do not push any excess slack Cat-5e cable back into the CeilingVIEW HD
HideAway Motorized Back Box Assembly. The excess cable may become damaged or
caught in the lift mechanism!
D. Re-install the Front Access Panel with the nine (9) Phillips screws on the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway back
box.
Note: There is a safety interlock switch on the upper left side of the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Motorized
Back Box Assembly that will not allow operation of the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway with the Front Access
Panel removed.
STEP 4: Installation Instructions for the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Power Interface (998-2520-002):
A. The CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Power Interface uses one (1) Cat-5e cable to the CeilingVIEW HD
HideAway Motorized Back Box Assembly to provide power to the motorized lift and to send a lift trigger
control signal to the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Motorized Back Box Assembly to raise and lower the lift.
This RJ-45 cable is connected to the Lift Power/Lift Trigger Connector on the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway
Main Printed Circuit Board (PCBA) located inside the back box. The RJ-45 connector on the top right side
(as you face the Main Printed Circuit Board (PCBA)).
Warning: Do not plug the Lift Power/Lift Trigger RJ-45 connector into the RS-232 or the
Camera Power/Video connector on the Main Printed Circuit Board (PCBA) or damage
could occur to either the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Motorized Back Box Assembly or the
Vaddio ClearVIEW HD PTZ Camera and void the warranty!
B. The Lift Contact pair on the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Power Interface is operated with a dry contact
closure (from either a simple manual switch or an A/V control system contact closure) to initiate the lift
control signal to lower the lift. Latching the dry contact closure keeps the lift lowered. Opening the lift
contact closure raises the lift (see Figure 19). Note: RS-232 lift commands will override the contact closure.
C. CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Power On Sequence:
1. Verify that the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Power Interface Power and Lift Contact RJ-45 connector is
properly connected to the Lift Power/Lift Trigger Connector on the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Main
Printed Circuit Board (PCBA).
2. Connect the PowerRite 24VDC, 2A Power Supply to the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Power Interface.
3. The CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Power Interface will provide power to the Lift Actuator. The Motorized
Camera Lift will begin a Boot-Up Procedure. This procedure is a program to set the Lift Actuator upper
and lower lift limits.
4. Once the Boot-Up Procedure is complete, the Blue Power LED on the Ceiling Trim Ring will turn on to a
steady blue. The CeilingVIEW HD HideAway motorized camera lift system is then ready for use.
