1.6.2
The analog video connection on the back of the camera is a BNC connector. The camera also
provides an RCA video connector that can be used to temporarily monitor the video output, without
disconnecting the BNC connection.
The video cable used should be rated as RG59U or better to ensure a quality video signal.
1.6.3
The cable gland seal is designed for use with Shielded Category 6 Ethernet cable.
1.6.4
For serial communications, it is necessary to set the parameters such as the signalling standard (RS-
232 or RS-422), baud rate, number of stop bits, parity and so on. It is also necessary to select the
communication protocol used (either Pelco D or Bosch) and the camera address. By default, the
serial interface uses Pelco D, RS-422 standard, 9600 baud rate, 8/1/none, and address 1.
Note
Typical Bosch systems operate using a biphase connection and the FLIR cameras do not accept
biphase signals directly. It may be necessary to install a biphase converter in order to use the Bosch
protocol.
Connect the wires of the serial cable as show in Figure 1-3 on page 1-6. When using the RS-422
standard, ensure the transmit pair of the camera goes to the receive pair of the other device, and vice
versa.
Note
The terminal blocks for serial connections will accept a maximum 20 AWG wire size.
