Installation Requirements - FLIR D--Series Installation And Operation Manual

3.2 Installation Requirements

Generally, some level of disassembly and reassembly is necessary during the installation
process. If it is necessary to change any of the default settings (for example, the Pelco
address), refer to section
camera assembly prior to installation and access the configuration DIP switches. It is also
necessary to separate the base from the main camera assembly if the cables that are provided
with the camera are to be replaced with other cables.
In order to get familiar with the camera installation and operation, it may be wise to make the
appropriate connections to the camera while the camera is on a test bench prior to doing the
actual installation. Observe the initial power-on self-test before you install the camera into the
ceiling and ensure that it is supplying video to a monitor and responding to the joystick
controller. The wiring connections are described below.
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) wiring is recommended for the RS485 cable to avoid problems with
performance, communication or video noise. The shielding wire must be grounded.
CAUTION! The Dome Camera should be installed by a certified CCTV installer who has
experience working with CCTV system component installation, operation and repair.
Incorrect installation could void your warranty.
CAUTION! The Dome Camera is intended to be mounted in the ceiling with the camera
facing away from the mounting plane. Any other type of installation is not appropriate and
could result in undesirable operation, which will void the warranty.

Safety Requirements - the ceiling should meet the following safety requirements:
1. The installation site must have enough clearance to allow for the necessary freedom of
travel for pan and tilt operation over the full range. Refer to the
specific dimensions.
2. The installation site must be stable and sturdy enough to hold the camera during the
continuous pan and tilt movement.
3. The installation materials must be capable of supporting well in excess of the weight of
the product and accessories. FLIR Systems, Inc. is not responsible for damage or injury
that results from an improperly installed camera.
