2 INTRODUCTION
The SR-Series Thermal Camera you have purchased is a sophisticated thermal imaging
camera that provides excellent night visibility and situational awareness, even in absolute
darkness. The camera has a standard video output that works with digital video recording
devices, video motion detection software or off-the-shelf video encoders.
FLIR’s powerful SR-Series thermal security cameras compliment and complete your security
camera network. They turn night into day, allowing you to see intruders invisible to the naked
eye. SR-Series cameras create video images from infrared thermal energy (heat), and perform
well at night and day, in good weather and bad. The SR Series thermal surveillance camera
system is intended for various commercial and industrial applications, including security and
surveillance.
Figure 2-1 : Daylight camera on left; Thermal image on right
Observe that the image on the left from an ordinary daylight camera is obscured by fog; the
thermal image on the right provides clear details.
The SR-Series camera is designed for simple, intuitive installation and
operation. Each model is based on the widely-deployed uncooled
microbolometer imaging core from FLIR known as Tau. All cameras include
FLIR’s advanced image processing techniques which deliver excellent
contrast regardless of scene dynamics. Unlike other night vision systems that
require low amounts of light to generate an image, the SR-Series thermal
imagers need no light at all.
2.1 Serial Remote Control
The SR-Series cameras support serial communication for control of camera features. The serial
standard is user-configurable to the RS-232 or RS-422 signaling standard via a DIP switch
inside the camera. Each camera is pre-configured at the factory to support RS-232.
The camera ships with a CD-ROM that includes the SR-Series control software known as the
FLIR Camera Controller GUI
1. Users can control the camera through the Windows®-based
graphical user interface, which allows the user to operate the following functions or features:
Digital zoom (2X, 4X)
1 The software is also known as the Tau GUI. Tau is the name of the FLIR microbolometer
thermal imaging core used in the SR-Series cameras.

Additional pseudo color palettes are available using the application software supplied with the camera. Refer to the Tau Camera User’s Manual (TAU-0035-00-10) for more information about specific camera settings. The software and the manual are available on the CD shipped with the camera or from the FLIR web site: http://www.flir.com/cvs/cores/resources/. Figure 2-2: White Hot palette on left, Black Hot palette on right 2.2 SR-Series Camera Models The cameras are available with a choice of lenses for short-, medium- and long-range surveillance capability. All SR-series cameras can be used on a fixed-mount or pan/tilt platform and provide crisp, clear thermal imagery in total darkness, light fog or smoke.

2.3 Camera Enclosures
SR-Series cameras are packaged in environmental enclosures that meet IP66 test standards.
Refer to section 8 SR-Series Camera Specifications for additional information. The camera’s
sun shroud around the enclosure helps regulate the camera temperature in direct-sun
installations. Each camera uses an athermalized lens and a lens heater to provide sharp
imagery in all temperature and weather conditions, ensuring a clear lens and high-quality
infrared video, even in extremely cold environments.

2.4 Package Contents
Refer to the Shipping Check List that is shipped with each camera for a description of the parts
and components that are included with the camera. If there is any discrepancy between the list
and the contents of your shipment, please contact FLIR Systems Customer Support
immediately using the contact information at the front of this manual.
427-0042-00-10 Revision 130 Copyright © 2011 FLIR Systems, Inc. 9 3 INSTALLATION OVERVIEW General installation information for all SR-series cameras is given below. If you have a question regarding installation or operation of your SR-Series camera, contact FLIR Systems, Inc Customer Support, using the contact information at the front of this manual. Check out our training web site (http://www.flir.com/training/ ) to get information on courses offered and to learn how you can become a FLIR-authorized Installer. Take care during installation to avoid scratching the camera lens. Do not expose the camera to direct sun for long periods without the sun shroud installed. 3.1 Accessing the Electrical Connections Figure 3-1: Rear view of SR-Series camera It is necessary to remove the rear of the enclosure in order to access the electrical connections. The SR-Series provides electrical contacts in the form of screw-terminal jacks, allowing it to receive 16-24 AWG tinned leads from the power supply and serial communication interface. 3.2 Ground Connection The SR-Series cameras have grounding and surge protection to provide further immunity from high current transients that can occur in installations that are subject to electrical storms and/or nearby lightning events. In order to ensure CE and FCC compliance as well as to protect against these high current events, installers are required to provide an Earth connection to a specific connection on the camera. Note: a ground connection to the exterior of the camera (for example, to the mounting foot) is insufficient.

427-0042-00-10 Revision 130 Copyright © 2011 FLIR Systems, Inc. 10 When the camera is shipped from FLIR, an internal ground wire (green) connects the interface board to the Earth Ground Lug, located on the inside of the rear of the enclosure. If is it disconnected during the installation, it must be reconnected. For proper installation, a ground connection from an external Earth ground must be connected to the Earth Ground Lug as shown in Figure 3-2: Earth Ground Connection. Typically the Earth ground connection will be part of the power cable bundle. Figure 3-2: Earth Ground Connection 3.3 Input Power The SR-Series cameras operate on either 24VDC or 24VAC power (nominal). Refer to the section titled SR-Series Camera Specifications for additional power requirements. The cameras provide screw-terminals for receiving tinned leads for input power. The power cable should be twisted pair or triple, with an overall shield or conduit connected to the enclosure rear panel ground lug, as described in the previous section. The system is fuse-protected against over-voltage conditions. A blown fuse is an indication either that the circuit has been overloaded or that a short circuit has occurred somewhere in the circuit. A wiring problem may be placing too much of a load on the circuit if a fuse blows after plugging in or turning on the camera. Before replacing the fuse it is important to identify what has caused it to fail. Warning! The camera must be installed according to industry-standard practices and local electrical codes. Failure to properly connect the enclosure and the electrical interface board to ground could result in damage to the camera and possible bodily injury.
