Nexus IP Camera Configuration Guide (FLIR Doc # 427-0030-00-28) • Available on the documentation CD or from the FLIR website, provides further details on using a web browser to configure the F-Series camera. 1.3 Camera Overview The F-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. Analog video will require a connection to a video monitor or an If mounting the F-Series camera on a pole, tower or any elevated location, use industry standard safe practices to avoid injuries. Except as described in this manual, do not open the F-Series camera for any reason. Disassembly of the camera (including removal of the cover) can cause permanent damage and will void the warranty. Be careful not to leave fingerprints on the F-Series camera’s infrared optics. The F-Series camera requires a power supply of 24 Volts. Operating the camera outside of the specified input voltage range or the specified operating temperature range can cause permanent damage.
427-0030-00-12, version 170 Mar 2014 1-2 1F-Series Camera Installation analog matrix/switch. The IP video will require a connection to an Ethernet network switch and a computer with the appropriate software for viewing the video stream. 1.4 Installation Overview The F-Series Camera is an infrared thermal imaging camera intended for outdoor applications, and can be installed in a fixed location or on a pan/tilt mechanism. The F-Series camera is intended to be mounted on a medium-duty fixed pedestal mount or wall mount commonly used in the CCTV industry. Cables will exit from the back of the camera housing. The mount must support up to 30 lbs. (15 KG). 1.4.1 Camera Connection Options Camera connections are made through water-tight cable gland seals on the rear of the camera. Refer to section 1.5.5 “Cable Gland Sealing” on page 1-4 to ensure the glands are used correctly and the connections are properly sealed. The camera can be powered with a conventional power supply using 21 - 30 VAC or 21 - 30 VDC. The F-Series Camera can produce analog or digital (IP) video output (or both). Analog video will require a connection to a video monitor or an analog video matrix switch. An Ethernet connection is provided for IP video streaming and for command and control communications. A web browser can be used for camera configuration and maintenance (software/ firmware updates). On some models, a web browser can also be used for IP video streaming and for command and control. For analog installations that are not using Ethernet/IP, a serial cable (RS232 or RS422) can optionally be connected and used for command and control communications, supporting either Pelco D or Bosch protocols. In installations using analog video and serial communications, it is recommended an Ethernet cable should also be installed for camera configuration, operation, and troubleshooting. For installations where the camera is mounted on a tower or pole or other location that may be difficult to access, it is recommended the Ethernet connection should be installed from the camera down to ground level at a minimum, to allow easier access. 1.4.2 Supplied Components The F-Series camera includes these standard components: • Fixed Camera Unit • Cable Glands and Spare Parts kit Figure 1-1: F-Series Camera Shipping plugs only - Remove before installing
427-0030-00-12, version 170 Mar 2014 1-3 1F-Series Camera Installation • FLIR Sensors Manager CD • F-Series Camera Documentation Package 1.4.3 Required Components The installer will need to supply the following items, which are specific to the installation. • Electrical wire, for system power; up to 100’ (3-conductor, shielded, gauge determined by cable length and supply voltage. Refer to section 1.6 “Camera Connections” on page 1-6. • Camera grounding strap • Coaxial RG59U video cables (BNC connector at the camera end) for analog video • Shielded Category 6 Ethernet cable for control, streaming video, and for software upgrades. • Optional serial cable for serial communications • Miscellaneous electrical hardware, camera mount, connectors, and tools 1.5 Location Considerations The camera will require connections for power, communications (IP Ethernet, and/or serial communications), and video. Important Note Ensure that cable distances do not exceed the specifications and that cables adhere to all local and Industry Standards, Codes, and Best Practices. Important Note 1.5.1 Bench Testing Connect the power, video, serial, and Ethernet connections and confirm that the video is displayed on a monitor when the power is turned on. For configuration and basic setup information using the onboard web server, refer to Basic Operation and Configuration on page 2-1. 1.5.2 Prior to Cutting/Drilling Holes When selecting a mounting location for the F-Series camera, consider cable lengths and cable routing. Ensure the cables are long enough, given the proposed mounting locations and cable routing requirements, and route the cables before you install the components. Use cables that have sufficient dimensions to ensure safety (for power cables) and adequate signal strength (for video and communications). 1.5.3 Camera Mounting F-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 F-Series camera can be secured to the mount with three to five 1/4-20 threaded fasteners as shown below. Install all cameras with an easily accessible Ethernet connection to support future software upgrades. If the camera is to be mounted on a pole or tower or other hard-to-reach location, connect and operate the camera as a bench test at ground level prior to mounting the camera in its final location.
427-0030-00-12, version 170 Mar 2014 1-4 1F-Series Camera Installation Once the mounting location has been selected, verify both sides of the mounting surface are accessible. Use a thread locking compound such as Loctite 242 or equivalent with all metal to metal threaded connections. Once the holes are drilled in the mounting surface, install three (3) to five (5) 1/4-20 threaded fasteners into the base of the camera with thread-locking compound. 1.5.4 Removing the Back Cover Use a 3 mm hex key to loosen the four captive screws, exposing the connections at the back of the camera enclosure. There is a grounding wire connected between the case and the back cover as shown. If the grounding wire is temporarily disconnected during the installation, it must be reconnected to ensure proper grounding of the camera. 1.5.5 Cable Gland Sealing Proper installation of cable sealing glands and use of appropriate elastomer inserts is critical to long term reliability. Cables enter the camera mount enclosure through liquid-tight compression glands. Be sure to insert the cables through the cable glands on the enclosure before terminating and connecting them (the connectors will not fit through the cable gland). Leave the gland nuts loosened until all cable installation has been completed. Inspect and install gland fittings in the back cover with suitable leak sealant and tighten to ensure water tight fittings. Teflon tape or pipe sealant (i.e. DuPont RectorSeal T™) are suitable for this purpose. Not to scale Figure 1-2: F-Series Camera Mounting Holes
427-0030-00-12, version 170 Mar 2014 1-5 1F-Series Camera Installation 1.5.6 Cable Glands and Spare Parts Kit The kit contains the two 3/4” cable glands and gland seal plugs required for non-conduit installations. The remaining parts included in the kit are: •a spare ground wire • a spare ground nut and lock washer • two spare power terminal block plugs • two spare serial port terminal block plugs • four spare F-Series back cover screws • four spare PT-Series back cover screws 1.5.7 Cable Gland Seal Inserts The F-Series camera comes with two 3/4” NPT cable glands, each with a three hole gland seal insert. Cables may be between 0.23 to 0.29 OD. Typically up to five cables may be needed. Plugs are required for any insert hole(s) not being used. The photograph at the right shows two power cables, an Ethernet cable, a serial control cable (no analog video is installed), and two gland seal plugs. If non-standard cable diameters are used, you may need to locate or fabricate the appropriate insert to fit the desired cable. FLIR Commercial Systems, Inc. does not provide cable gland inserts other than the inserts supplied with the system. Note Insert the cables through the cable glands on the enclosure before terminating and connecting them. In general, the terminated connectors will not fit through the cable gland. If a terminated cable is required, you can make a clean and singular cut in the gland seal to install the cable into the gland seal.

Generally the F-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. The power cable supplied by the installer must use wires that are sufficient size gauge (16 AWG recommended) for the supply voltage and length of the cable run, to ensure adequate current carrying capacity. Always follow local building codes. Ensure the camera is properly grounded. Typical to good grounding practices, the camera chassis ground should be connected to the lowest resistance path possible. FLIR requires a grounding strap anchored to the grounding lug on the back plate of the camera housing and connected to the nearest earth-grounding point. Note The terminal blocks for power connections will accept a maximum 16 AWG wire size. 20 AWG MAX TX+ RX+ GND TD(B)+GND TD(A)- RD(B)+RD(A)-RS232 Signals RS422 Signals 543 21 Back CoverChassis GND 16 AWG Shielded16 AWG Shielded 24 VAC/DC+ 24 VAC/DC- Earth Ground 24 VAC/DC+ 24 VAC/DC- Earth Ground Local Ground24 VAC/DC24 VAC/DC Serial Communications RS232 or RS422Male BNC Ethernet Analog Video 123 123 Connections for Serial, Video, Ethernet, and Power Ethernet Camera Power Heater Power Left Cable Gland3/4” NPT for Cable Gland or ConduitRight Cable Gland Figure 1-3: Camera Connections
