Once the mounting location has been selected, verify that both sides of the mounting
surface are accessible.
Figure 7.2 FLIR A3xx f series camera mounting (mm)
If the camera is to be mounted on a pole or tower or other hard-to-reach location, con-
nect and operate the camera as a bench test at ground level prior to mounting the cam-
era in its final location.
Use a thread-locking compound such as Loctite 242 or an equivalent with all metal-to-
metal threaded connections.
Using the template supplied with the camera as a guide, mark the location of the holes
for mounting the camera.
If the template is printed, ensure that it is printed to scale so that the dimensions are
correct.
Once the holes are drilled in the mounting surface, install three (3) to five (5) ¼"-20 bolts
or threaded studs in the base of the camera with thread-locking compound.

7.5 Prior to cutting/drilling holes

When selecting a mounting location for the FLIR A3xx f series camera, consider cable
lengths and cable routing. Ensure that the cables are long enough, given the proposed
mounting locations and cable routing requirements, and route the cables before you in-
stall the components.
Use cables that have sufficient dimensions to ensure safety (for power cables) and ad-
equate signal strength (for video and communications).
