The mount must support up to 45 lb. (20 kg). The FLIR A3xx 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 network using MPEG-4, M-JPEG, and H.264 encoding.
FLIR A3xx 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 FLIR A3xx pt series camera can be secured to the mount with four 5/16″ or M8 bolts, as shown below.
7.5 Prior to cutting/drilling holes When selecting a mounting location for the FLIR A3xx pt series camera, consider cable lengths and cable routing. Ensure that the cables are long enough given the proposed mounting locations and cable routing requirements.
4. Ground lug, for connection to earth. 5. Mounting screw (×6). The FLIR A3xx pt series camera comes with two ¾″ NPT cable glands, each with a three- hole gland seal insert. Cables can be between 0.23″ and 0.29″ OD. Up to six cables may be installed.
There is a grounding wire connected between the case and the back cover. Figure 7.6 Rear view of a FLIR A3xx pt series camera, after the back cover has been released. 1. IP network.
NOTE • The serial communications parameters for the FLIR A3xx pt series camera are set or modified either via hardware DIP switch settings or via software, through a web browser interface. A single DIP switch (SW102-9, software override) determines whether the configuration comes from the hardware DIP switches or the software settings.

Thermographic measurement techniques 16.1 Introduction An infrared camera measures and images the emitted infrared radiation from an object. The fact that radiation is a function of object surface temperature makes it possible for the camera to calculate and display this temperature. However, the radiation measured by the camera does not only depend on the temperature of the object but is also a function of the emissivity.

Look for possible reflection sources, considering that the incident angle = reflection an- gle (a = b). Figure 16.1 1 = Reflection source 2.

History of infrared technology Before the year 1800, the existence of the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum wasn't even suspected. The original significance of the infrared spectrum, or simply ‘the in- frared’ as it is often called, as a form of heat radiation is perhaps less obvious today than it was at the time of its discovery by Herschel in 1800.
Page 138
History of infrared technology Moving the thermometer into the dark region beyond the red end of the spectrum, Her- schel confirmed that the heating continued to increase. The maximum point, when he found it, lay well beyond the red end – in what is known today as the ‘infrared wavelengths’. When Herschel revealed his discovery, he referred to this new portion of the electromag- netic spectrum as the ‘thermometrical spectrum’.
Page 139
History of infrared technology Figure 17.4 Samuel P. Langley (1834–1906) The improvement of infrared-detector sensitivity progressed slowly. Another major break- through, made by Langley in 1880, was the invention of the bolometer. This consisted of a thin blackened strip of platinum connected in one arm of a Wheatstone bridge circuit upon which the infrared radiation was focused and to which a sensitive galvanometer re- sponded.
Theory of thermography 18.1 Introduction The subjects of infrared radiation and the related technique of thermography are still new to many who will use an infrared camera. In this section the theory behind thermography will be given. 18.2 The electromagnetic spectrum The electromagnetic spectrum is divided arbitrarily into a number of wavelength regions, called bands, distinguished by the methods used to produce and detect the radiation.
Such cavity radiators are commonly used as sources of radiation in temperature refer- ence standards in the laboratory for calibrating thermographic instruments, such as a FLIR Systems camera for example. If the temperature of blackbody radiation increases to more than 525°C (977°F), the source begins to be visible so that it appears to the eye no longer black.
Theory of thermography where: Blackbody spectral radiant emittance at wavelength λ. λb Velocity of light = 3 × 10 Planck’s constant = 6.6 × 10 Joule sec. Boltzmann’s constant = 1.4 × 10 Joule/K. Absolute temperature (K) of a blackbody. λ...
Page 143
Theory of thermography This is Wien’s formula (after Wilhelm Wien, 1864–1928), which expresses mathematically the common observation that colors vary from red to orange or yellow as the temperature of a thermal radiator increases. The wavelength of the color is the same as the wavelength calculated for λ...
Theory of thermography 18.3.3 Stefan-Boltzmann's law By integrating Planck’s formula from λ = 0 to λ = ∞, we obtain the total radiant emittance ) of a blackbody: This is the Stefan-Boltzmann formula (after Josef Stefan, 1835–1893, and Ludwig Boltz- mann, 1844–1906), which states that the total emissive power of a blackbody is propor- tional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature.
Page 145
Theory of thermography Another factor, called the emissivity, is required to describe the fraction ε of the radiant emittance of a blackbody produced by an object at a specific temperature. Thus, we have the definition: The spectral emissivity ε = the ratio of the spectral radiant power from an object to that λ...

Theory of thermography When the plate becomes opaque this formula is reduced to the single formula: This last relation is a particularly convenient one, because it is often easier to measure re- flectance than to measure emissivity directly. #T559795; r.21371/22369; en-US...
The measurement formula As already mentioned, when viewing an object, the camera receives radiation not only from the object itself. It also collects radiation from the surroundings reflected via the ob- ject surface. Both these radiation contributions become attenuated to some extent by the atmosphere in the measurement path.

U according to the same equation, and get (Equation 3): Solve Equation 3 for U (Equation 4): This is the general measurement formula used in all the FLIR Systems thermographic equipment. The voltages of the formula are: Table 19.1 Voltages Calculated camera output voltage for a blackbody of temperature T i.e.

5 volts, the resulting curve would have been very much the same as our real curve extrapolated beyond 4.1 volts, provided the calibration algorithm is based on ra- diation physics, like the FLIR Systems algorithm. Of course there must be a limit to such extrapolations.
