PT-Series Camera Installation This manual describes the installation of the PT-Series cameras. If you need help during the installation process, please call to speak with our support experts (877-773-3547). This manual includes the following topics: Installation Overview Mounting the camera and its components...
The mount must support up to 45 lbs. (20 KG). The PT-Series camera is both an analog and an IP camera. The video from the camera can be viewed over a traditional analog video network or it can be viewed by streaming it over an IP net- work using MPEG-4, M-JPEG and H.264 encoding.
Ensure that cable distances do not exceed the Referenced Standard specifications and adhere to all local and Industry Standards, Codes, and Best Practices. Not to scale All dimensions in inches Maximum exclusion cylinder (Ø25.5” x 17.4” high) Figure 1-2: PT-Series Pan and Tilt Exclusion Zone 427-0032-00-12, version 110 March 2010...
PT-Series cameras must be mounted upright on top of the mounting surface, with the base below the camera. The unit should not be hung upside down. The PT-Series camera can be secured to the mount with four 5/16 or M8 bolts, as shown below.
PT-Series Installation Manual 1—PT-Series Camera Installation Prior to Cutting/Drilling Holes When selecting a mounting location for the PT-Series camera, consider cable lengths and cable routing. Ensure the cables are long enough given the proposed mounting locations and cable routing requirements.
Ground Ensure the camera is properly grounded. Typical to good grounding practices, the camera chassis ground should be provided using the lowest resistance path possible. FLIR requires using a Cable grounding strap anchored to the grounding lug on Gland A the back plate of the camera housing and connected to the nearest earth-grounding point.
1—PT-Series Camera Installation Connecting power The camera itself does not have an on/off switch. Generally the PT-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.
