    Installing the M400 General Information This manual describes the installation of the M400 system. If you need help or have additional questions, please call to speak with our support experts; see the phone numbers on the back cover of this manual.

  • Page 6: Additional Installation Components

    • M400 Operator’s Manual (FLIR Doc. # 432-0012-00-10) contains information about how to configure and operate the camera. • M400 Quick Start Guide (FLIR Doc. # 432-0012-00-11) is a card used as a reference for the functions executed by the various JCU II buttons.

  • Page 7: Warnings And Cautions

    Caution: Be careful not to leave fingerprints on the M400 camera optics. Caution: The M400 requires a power supply of 12 Vdc to 24 Vdc nominal, 5.5 A maximum @ 24 Vdc, 11 A maximum @ 12 Vdc. Absolute voltage range: 12 Vdc to 32 Vdc. Operating the camera outside of the specified input voltage range or the specified operating temperature range can cause permanent damage.
