Page 4: Safety Notes - Important
Video and RS-485 control cables should be separated from other cables. Shielding may be necessary in some cases to avoid interference. NEVER aim the lens of the M1-D at the sun or extremely hot objects. This may damage the precision thermal sensor. -
Page 5: About The M1-D
Shield the camera from radiation, X-Ray, Radar or other strong electro- magnetic sources. 2. ABOUT THE M1-D The M1-D is an intelligent Pan Tilt Zoom multisensor imaging platform designed for all weather operation on a variety of platforms. The M1-D is ideally suited for Vehicle, Vessel or stationary mounting configurations. -
Page 6: Functions
Visual CCD Sensor The M1-D is equipped with a visual imaging sensor that sees in the visual light spectrum. This sensor is ideally suited for object identification and for reading vehicle tags, ship or aircraft numbers. -
Page 7: Inverted Operation
Sierra Pacific Innovations Corp 1.3.2 Inverted Operation The standard orientation for the M1-D is in the upright position with the base plate resting on a surface below (such as a vehicle roof). The system is capable of inverted operation wherin the base plate is mounted above (such as in a UAV or Aircraft). -

Page 9: Installation
3. INSTALLATION This section contains basic installation instructions for the M1-D multi sensor system. Since the M1-D is designed to be mounted on a wide range of vehicles, vessels and aircraft we cannot cover every installation scenario possible. This guide offers the basic instructions for installation in common applications. - Page 10 Sierra Pacific Innovations Corp 1.3.2 Fig. 1.2 Outer Dimensions (with stabilization plate) Fig. 1.3 Bottom mounting holes and magnets.

- Page 11 For a more permanent mount or for use in extreme motion environments you will want to use the bolt holes on the bottom of the unit to affix the M1-D to a bracket (of your own fabrication). SPI Corp offers a vibration mitigation stabilization plate which also acts as a hard mounting plate for the M1-D.

Page 12: Mounting Steps
DO NOT PINCH YOUR FINGERS. The magnets will grab with some force. 3. If using the mounting holes first mount the M1-D to your mounting fixture then mount the fixture to your surface. We recommend fabricating a “spider” type bracket that extends out beyond the edge of the M1-D (see Fig. -
Page 13: Electrical Connections
3.3 Electrical Connections The M1-D operates on 12VDC power typical of most vehicles. The M1-D is a negative ground system so verify that your vehicle outputs the correct voltage and polarity. The M1-D outputs standard NTSC video signal and responds to commands via 2 wire RS/485 serial interface utilizizing the Pelco-D protocol at 2400bps. - Page 14 Sierra Pacific Innovations Corp 1.3.2 Fig. 1.5 Pigtail Cable Extender.

Page 21: Onscreen Symbology
Heading Indicator The heading indicator shows the position of the M1-D in the relative pan axis. The pie shaped symbol will rotate around the circle indicating the direction that the imaging sensors are pointing. -
Page 22: Numeric Pan Tilt Indicator
The M1-D displays the SPI Logo in the bottom right corner of the screen. Text String The M1-D gives the user the ability to input a custom text string that will be displayed on the screen. This is useful for labelling individual cameras in multiple camera setups. -
Page 23: Accessing The On Screen Display Menu
Sierra Pacific Innovations Corp 1.3.2 Accessing The On Screen Display Menu To adjust the settings of on screen symbology you need to access the OSD Menu (On Screen Display Menu). To access the OSD enter the Pelco-D command [CALL] + 99 + [ENTER] or [PRESET] + 99 + [ENTER]. -
Page 24: Symbology Osd Menu
Symbology OSD Menu The symbology OSD Menu allows you to turn on or off the various symbology items available in the M1-D system. The symbology menu also allows you to select between Fixed and Moveable Crosshairs. When you access the Symbology OSD Menu you will see the following choices. -
Page 25: Symbology Zoomer Menu
Sierra Pacific Innovations Corp 1.3.2 Symbology Zoomer Menu The Zoomer Menu controls the zoom Field Of View indicator which gives you an indication of what the field of view will be when you activate the thermal zoom. Objects that are within these boundries should appear in image when zoom is activated. -

Page 31: Setting Preset Positions
Sierra Pacific Innovations Corp 1.3.2 Setting Preset Positions The M1-D allows you to “preset” positions of the system for either direct recall or for use in Auto Scan or Pattern Scan features. The M1-D can maintain up to 80 preset postions (Presets 0-79). -

8 seconds before moving to the next point. You can preset up to 40 points (presets 0-39) for the M1-D to stop at during auto scan. The M1-D will scan through presets you have configured in numeric order from 0-39. -
Page 34: Preset 8 6 P Attern S Can 3
Preset 86 Pattern Scan 3 The pattern scan preset feature lets the M1-D scan between preset points. This differs from Auto Scan in that the M1-D slowly and continually scans between the preset positions without stopping at any position. Pattern scan continuosly scans between positions in numeric order from low to high. -
Page 35: Preset 96 180 Degree Continuous Scan
The Preset 98 command tells the M1-D to scan continuously in a 90 degree pan. The 90 degrees of pan is 45 degrees to either side of the position of the M1-D when the command is sent. It is NOT based on the home position.
