A new plenum enclosure for ELMO's HV-C1000XG document camera allows the camera to be mounted flush with the ceiling for use in settings requiring unobstructed podiums or tabletops.

A new plenum enclosure, constructed of heavy-gauge galvanized steel, facilitates in-ceiling, flush-mounted installation of the ELMO HV-C1000XG document camera. The camera, sold separately, can be attached to a standard LCD projector mount and attached to the housing of the plenum enclosure. Once mounted, the camera can be easily adjusted from front to back and side to side to make it easy to locate the box in the ceiling architecturally in relation to the lectern’s surface.

The camera, designed for ceiling-mounted applications, captures detailed overhead images of documents and 3D objects and displays them on a large LCD screen. For use in installations requiring unobstructed podiums or tabletops, it is ideal for municipal government meetings for reviewing site maps at zoning variance hearings. It is also effective for medical and sales training. For most applications, the camera can be mounted as high as 18ft. above the work/display surface. The design also permits easy access to the HV-C1000XG for halogen lamp replacement (thumbscrew access/no tools required) and camera service.

The specifications of the plenum enclosure follow all appropriate UL requirements. Constructed mostly of 16-gauge steel, the enclosure accommodates a mounting plate with a load capacity of 500lbs. Immediately visible areas of the camera box are painted white, and everything else in the box is galvanized steel, to reduce weight and retain a corrosion-free appearance over the long term. The package includes the necessary trim plates and escutcheon. The main door is designed to accommodate a filler panel of any ceiling material with a thickness of between 1/2in. and 1in. The enclosure weighs 49lbs. empty; 65lbs. with the HV-C1000XG camera installed.
