Camera Grounding

Ensure the camera is properly grounded. Failure to properly ground the camera can lead to
permanent damage to the camera. Typical to good grounding practices, the camera chassis ground
should be connected to the lowest resistance path possible. The camera has an external ground
connection on the outside back of the camera.FLIR requires a grounding strap anchored to the
grounding lug and connected to the nearest earth-grounding point.
If, during installation, any ground connections inside the camera are disconnected, they should be
reconnected prior to closing the camera.

Bench Testing

If mounting the F-Series camera on a pole, tower or any elevated or difficult to access location, it may
be a good idea to bench test the camera prior to final installation. Connect the power and video, and
confirm the video can be displayed on a monitor when the power is turned on. Refer to section 2.1
"Troubleshooting Tips" on page 2-3 if there is a problem.
