FLIR  makes  two  versions  of  the  Navigator  II:  the  Static  version,  which 
stays pointed in one direction relative to the vessel (usually straight ahead), 
and the Pan/Tilt version that can look up and down (+/- 45° relative to the 
horizon),  and  360°  around.  This  manual  contains  operating  instructions 
for  both  versions.  Make  sure  you  use  the  instructions  that  apply  to  your 
configuration of Navigator II.

Operating your Navigator II 
(S tat Ic version)
The  static  Navigator  II  is  simple  to  install  and  operate.  (See  the   
Installation  Guide  for  installation  procedures.)  The  system  operates  on 
12  volts  DC,  outputs  standard  composite  video  (NTSC  or  PAL  formats 
are  available),  and  requires  no  camera  adjustments.  Follow  this  simple   
procedure to operate:
•	Turn	on	the	camera	using	the	On/Off	switch.	
•	Turn	on	your	FLIR	display.
Make  sure  you’ve  selected  the...

Operating your Navigator II 
( pa N /tIL t version)
The  Pan/Tilt  version  of  the  Navigator  II  is  a  little  more  complicate  to 
use  than  the  Static  version,  but  not  much.  The  qualified  technician 
who  installed  your  Navigator  II  isolated  it  from  vessel  power  with  a   
customer-supplied switch or circuit breaker tied-on to your vessel ’s power 
bus.  Before  you  turn  on  the  Navigator  II,  make  sure  that  this  switch  or   
circuit  breaker  is  turned  on,  then...
