Verifying camera operation (FLIR
A3xx f series)
Prior to installing the camera, use a bench test to verify camera operation and configure
the camera for the local network. The camera provides analog video and can be
controlled through either serial or IP communications.
10.1
Power and analog video
1 Connect the power, video, and serial cables to the camera.
2 Connect the video cable from the camera to a display/monitor and connect the
power cable to a power supply. The camera operates on 21–30 VAC or 21–30 VDC.
Verify that video is displayed on the monitor.
10.2
Verify IP Communications
As shipped from the factory, the FLIR A3xx f series camera has an IP address of
192.168.250.116 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
1 Configure a laptop or PC with another IP address from this network (for example,
192.168.250.)
2 Connect the camera and the laptop to the same Ethernet switch (or back-to-back
with an Ethernet crossover cable). In some cases, a straight Ethernet cable can be
used, because many PCs have auto detect Ethernet interfaces.
3 Open a web browser, enter http://192.168.250.116 in the address bar, and press
Enter. The Web Configurator will start at the Login screen.

If the Login screen appears, then you have established IP communications with
the camera. 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 Sensor
Manager software and the factory configured IP address.
