Camera Connections; Connecting Power - FLIR F-Series Installation Manual

1 F-Series Camera Installation
1.6
1.6.1
The camera itself does not have an on/off switch. Generally the F-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.
The power cable supplied by the installer must use wires that are sufficient size gauge (16 AWG
recommended) for the supply voltage and length of the cable run, to ensure adequate current carrying
capacity. Always follow local building codes.
Ensure the camera is properly grounded. Typical to good grounding practices, the camera chassis
ground should be connected to the lowest resistance path possible. FLIR requires a grounding strap
anchored to the grounding lug on the back plate of the camera housing and connected to the nearest
earth-grounding point.
Note
The terminal blocks for power connections will accept a maximum 16 AWG wire size.
