D-Series Camera Installation This manual describes the installation of the D-Series cameras. If you need help during the installation process, please call to speak with our support experts (877-773-3547). This manual includes the following topics: Installation Overview Mounting the camera and its components ...
Figure 1-1: D-Series Camera Installations The D-Series camera is mounted on a wall or a pole with diameter between 4” and 8.5”. The wall or pole must be able to support up to 45 lbs. (20 kg). Cables exit from the back or the bottom of the electronics enclosure.

Use cables that have sufficient dimensions to ensure safety (for power cables) and adequate signal strength (for video and communications). The D-Series camera enclosure can be secured to the mount or mounting surface with four 3/ 8 or M8 fasteners, as shown below. The fastener/anchor type is dependant on the mount or mounting surface.
1—D-Series Camera Installation Camera Gimbal Assembly Installation The D-Series camera gimbal assembly is shipped as a separate item and must be attached to the camera mount enclosure. In order to allow flexibility during installation, the camera assembly may be installed either before or after installing the camera mount.
In general, the terminated connectors will not fit through the cable gland. The D-Series enclosure comes with two ½ NPT gland fitting inserts, each with a three hole grommet. Cables may be between 0.19" to 0.25" od. Typically up to five cables may be needed and plugs (supplied with the system) are required to fill the grommet holes not being used.

Ensure the system is properly grounded. Typical to good grounding practices, the chassis ground should be provided using the lowest resistance path possible. FLIR requires using a grounding strap anchored to the ground lug on the Surge board of the enclosure and connected to the nearest earth-grounding point.
1.7.6 Connecting power The camera itself does not have an on/off switch. Generally the D-Series camera will be connected to a circuit breaker and the circuit breaker will be used to apply or remove power to the camera. If power is supplied to it, the camera will be in one of two modes: Booting Up or Powered On.
0 to 255. SW 1-9 SW 2 Figure 1-6: D-Series Camera Configuration Note From the factory, switch SW 1-9 (Software Override DIP Switch) is set to Off.This setting determines that software settings will override the dip switch settings. If you wish to use the dip switches for configuration, you must set SW 1-9 to the On position.

It is not necessary to log in and use the Web Configuration tool right away. At this time, perform a bench test of the camera using the FLIR Sensors Manager software and the factory configured IP address. Refer to paragraph 2.3 “Using FLIR Sensors Manager (FSM)”...
Using FLIR Sensors Manager (FSM) The following provides a brief description of how to use FSM to control a camera and stream video from the camera. For more detailed information on how to use FSM, refer to the FLIR Sensors Manager User Manual.
