Pre-Installation

Site Evaluation

The following must be determined prior to installation:

Power Source

The transmitter, receiver and corner-mount camera will each require a power source.

Ensure there is a 115 Volt electrical outlet available on the rooftop of the elevator cab;

this outlet will power both the transmitter and corner-mount camera.

A 115 Volt AC electrical outlet will also be required at the receiver location in the pit.

Cabling routes

Hardwiring the video cable from the receiver to your monitoring location will be required;

consider this in determining whether your receiver will be mounted in the elevator pit

or in the mechanical penthouse.

Clearances

The transmitter and receiver location must be clear of any moving mechanisms including but not

limited to traveling cable, counter-weight, cabling trough, guide rails, brakes, door mechanics,

sensors and safety devices.

Line-of-Sight

Consider the path that the wireless video will travel between the transmitter and receiver.

Line-of –sight is defined as a clear and unobstructed view between the transmitter and receiver.

This will determine where you will mount the transmitter (roof or under-carriage of elevator cab)

and the receiver (mechanical penthouse or elevator pit).

Every elevator installation is unique – These guidelines may or may not apply to your particular application.
