Removing The Back Cover; Cable Gland Sealing - FLIR F-Series Installation Manual

1 F-Series Camera Installation
Once the mounting location has been selected, verify both sides of the mounting surface are
accessible.
Use a thread locking compound such as Loctite 242 or equivalent with all metal to metal threaded
connections.
Once the holes are drilled in the mounting surface, install three (3) to five (5) 1/4-20 threaded
fasteners into the base of the camera with thread-locking compound.
1.5.4
Use a 3 mm hex key to loosen the four captive screws,
exposing the connections at the back of the camera
enclosure. There is a grounding wire connected
between the case and the back cover as shown. If the
grounding wire is temporarily disconnected during the
installation, it must be reconnected to ensure proper
grounding of the camera.
1.5.5
Proper installation of cable sealing glands and use of
appropriate elastomer inserts is critical to long term
reliability. Cables enter the camera mount enclosure
through liquid-tight compression glands. Be sure to
insert the cables through the cable glands on the
enclosure before terminating and connecting them (the
connectors will not fit through the cable gland). Leave the gland nuts loosened until all cable
installation has been completed. Inspect and install gland fittings in the back cover with suitable leak
sealant and tighten to ensure water tight fittings. Teflon tape or pipe sealant (i.e. DuPont RectorSeal
T™) are suitable for this purpose.
