1.1. About Terabee IND-Thermal-90 The Terabee IND-Thermal-90 thermal camera offers 32 x 32 pixel resolution thermal measurement. The rugged IP65 enclosure ensures dust-proof and water-resistant operation, while the camera’s compact form-factor (75 g) allows installation in places not possible with larger and heavier cameras.

The bottom casing part includes four slots for mounting the camera using standard M4 screws. The following methods can be used to mount the Terabee IND-Thermal-90: 1. Front-panel mount using the long M4 screw slots (Figure 4) 2. Back-panel mount using the 2mm ledge on the front side of the camera (Figure 5) The first solution allows for easy surface attachment and rapid evaluation of the camera.

2.4. M12 connector pinout Terabee IND-Thermal-90 uses an M12 A-coded male connector, 5 pins. Figure 7 and Table5 provide an overview of the connector pinout. Figure 7. M12, 5-pin connector pinout layout...
3. Camera coordinate system The IND-Thermal-90 coordinate system is defined in Figure 7. The camera is always vertically mounted (M12 connector on the base), as per picture. The z-axis is to be considered as the distance from the target. Terabee IND-Thermal-90 is a passive optical temperature measurement camera that uses thermopile principle.
4. Settings 4.1. Connectivity to RS485 bus Figure 8 shows an example of connection in a Modbus of multiple (N) IND-Thermal-90 cameras. Figure 9. Connection of multiple IND-Thermal-90 cameras on RS485 network. External 120 Ohm termination resistors have to be added for signal stability at the beginning and end of the transmission line.
Select Slave address ● When the IND-Thermal-90 is connected for the first time (from default settings), it is important to match the master network speed to the camera default baud rate (19.2 kbps) and parity (even) and connect to the camera. Afterwards it is possible to update the specific camera connection parameters.
= 0. The flow-chart in Figure 15 shows the process. Master reading NB IND-Thermal-90 does not feature a streaming option, thus the frame reconstruction is asynchronous only. The three Applications will continue to run on the updated frames, even if ‘Master reading’ is set to 1.
