Mounting Options; Figure 2: Types Of Installation - FLIR D--Series Installation And Operation Manual

Any device that communicates with the Pelco-D protocol can be used as a control unit, including
a commonly-used joystick keyboard such as the Pelco KBD300A or a more sophisticated device
such as an IP-encoder with serial control. The control unit can be used to operate the following
functions or features:
• Pan/Tilt operation
• Set or activate preset location
• Set or Initiate auto scan or pattern scan sequence
• Zoom (2x digital zoom, available on D-19 camera only)
• Video palette (white hot by default, black hot and rainbow palettes available also)
• Scene setting (user-selectable automatic gain control settings)
• Invert Image

2.4 Mounting Options

The FLIR Thermal Camera is designed to be mounted in the ceiling. The camera is ordinarily
mounted with the main camera assembly above the ceiling, with only the camera dome and trim
ring exposed. During the installation, the main camera assembly is temporarily removed from
the camera housing enclosure. The housing enclosure is installed in the ceiling, then the
camera body is reinstalled in the housing, and finally the trim ring is installed. FLIR recommends
using a mounting board and chain when installing in a drop ceiling.
Alternatively, for locations where there is insufficient clearance above the ceiling, the camera
can be installed hanging from the ceiling (known as a "pendant" mount), in which case the entire
camera body (minus the housing enclosure) hangs below the ceiling. The housing enclosure is
not used with this type of installation. See sections 3 and 4 for detailed installation instructions.
CAUTION! The camera should be installed in accordance with local codes and industry-
standard safe practices.
