Minimizing EMI and RFI
When wires run for a significant distance in an
electromagnetic field, electromagnetic
interference (EMI) can occur. Strong EMI (e.g.
lightning or radio transmitters) can destroy the
units and can pose an electrical hazard by
conducting power through lines and into the
system. Poor quality or worn wiring can result in
radio frequency interference (RFI). To minimize
the effects of EMI and RFI, consult your reseller.
Minimisation des IEM et des IRF
Lorsque des câbles parcourent une distance
importante dans un champ électromagnétique, des
interférences électromagnétiques (IEM) peuvent se
produire. D'importantes IEM (comme la foudre ou un
émetteur radio) peuvent détruire les unités et
présenter un risque électrique si elles se propagent sur
les câbles et dans le système. Des câbles de mauvaise
qualité ou usés peuvent provoquer des interférences
radioélectriques (IRF). Pour minimiser les effets des
IEM et des IRF, consultez votre revendeur.
Site Preparation
There are several requirements that should be properly addressed prior to installation at the site. The
following specifications are requirements for proper installation and operation of the unit:
Ambient Environment Conditions: Avoid positioning the unit near heaters or heating
system outputs. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Use proper maintenance to ensure
that the unit is free from dust, dirt, smoke, particles, chemicals, smoke, water or water
condensation, and exposure to EMI.
Accessibility: The location used should allow easy access to unit connections and
cables.
Safety: Cables and electrical cords should be routed in a manner that prevents safety
hazards, such as from tripping, wire fraying, overheating, etc. Ensure that nothing
rests on the unit’s cables or power cords .
Ample Air Circulation: Leave enough space around the unit to allow free air
circulation.
Cabling Considerations: Units should be placed in locations that are optimal for the
type of video cabling used between the unit and the cameras and external devices.
Using a cable longer than the manufacturer’s specifications for optimal video signal
may result in degradation of color and video parameters.
Physical Security: The unit provides threat detection for physical security systems. In
order to ensure that the unit cannot be disabled or tampered with, the system should
be installed with security measures regarding physical access by trusted and un-
trusted parties.
Network Security: The unit transmits over IP to security personnel for video
surveillance. Proper network security measures should be in place to assure networks
remain operating and free from malicious interference. The unit is intended for
installation on the backbone of a trusted network.
Electrostatic Safeguards: The unit as well as other equipment connected to it (relay
outputs, alarm inputs, racks, carpeting, etc) shall be properly grounded to prevent
electrostatic discharge.
The physical installation of the unit is the first phase of making the unit operational in a security plan. The
goal is to physically place the unit, connect it to other devices in the system, and to establish network
connectivity.

2Introduction
The ioimage Thermal CT-5320F/CT-5640F is a fixed-mount, fixed-focal length thermal camera with web-
based configuration. The camera is available in two versions: 9 FPS fixed frame rate or variable frame rate
up to 30 FPS.
The CT-5320F/CT-5640F uses an uncooled 320 x 240 resolution focal plane array (CT-5320F) or 640 x 480
resolution focal plane array (CT-5640F), with 17μm Vox thermal imaging technology. It detects infrared
(heat) waves in the 8-14µm wavelength. The camera delivers superior thermal images in challenging
environments, including in complete darkness, over water and in dark corners, where lighting constraints
and weather conditions make threats difficult to detect. The CT-5320F/CT-5640F does not require any
ambient light or illumination.
Figure 1: CT-5320F/CT-5640F Camera
The camera simultaneously provides video output in two formats: analog video and compressed digital
video over IP. It is IEEE 802.3af-compliant, supporting video, camera control and power over a single,
tamper-resistant Ethernet cable connection. It can be configured and installed easily in any existing
security infrastructure.
Figure 2: CT-5320F/CT-5640F Connectivity
The CT-5320F/CT-5640F is efficient, compact and lightweight, with an industry-leading low-power
consumption of less than 12.95 watts and weighing less than 3.3 pounds (1.5 kg). Packaged with a built-in
heater, the camera is sealed in an IP66 outdoor-rated enclosure, which makes it ideal for outdoor
sureveillance of critical infrastructure such as airports, utility companies, and nuclear power plants.
The camera is available with these fully sealed, hard carbon-coated, athermalized fixed-focus lenses:

3Camera Installation and Mounting
The physical installation of the camera is the first phase of making the unit operational. The goal is to
physically place the unit, connect it to other devices in the system, establish IP network connectivity, and
configure the camera for operation.
Caution:
To avoid damage from overheating or unit failure, assure that there is sufficient
temperature regulation to support the unit’s requirements (cooling/heating). Operating
temperature should be kept in the range specified for the product (-40° to 60°C /-40° to
140°F, with no more than 95% relative humidity, non-condensing).
Attention:
Afin d'éviter tout dommage dû à une surchauffe ou toute panne de l'unité, assurez-vous que
la régulation de température est suffisante pour répondre aux exigences de l'unité
(refroidissement/chauffage). La température de fonctionnement doit être maintenue dans
la plage de température spécifiée pour le produit (-40° à 60°C/-40° à 140°F, sans
condensation d'humidité supérieur à 95%).
3.1 Preparation
Read the instructions in this chapter thoroughly before installing the camera. Following are additional
considerations for outdoor installation:
Always use weatherproof equipment, such as boxes, receptacles, connectors, etc.
For electrical wiring, use the properly rated sheathed cables for conditions to which the cable
will be exposed (for example, moisture, heat, UV, physical requirements, etc.).
Plan ahead to determine where to install infrastructure weatherproof equipment. Whenever
possible, ground components to an outdoor ground.
Use best security practices to design and maintain secured camera access, communications
infrastructure, tamper-proof outdoor boxes, etc.
To minimize the effects of EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency
interference), consult your reseller.

3.3 Preparing the Cables
To prepare the camera cabling
1. Disconnect power from any previously installed cables.
2. Use a #2 Phillips head screwdriver to pierce a hole in the center of the cable gland.
3. If needed, pierce the smaller holes on the outer perimeter of the cable gland membrane for AC/DC
power wires.
4. Remove the electric nut from the sealing gland.
5. Place the O-ring on the threaded end of the cable gland to insure a good seal.
6. If using existing cable, cut off the RJ45 or BNC connector.
7. Feed the cables through the components in the following order:
Base mount (flat side first for bracket)
Electrical nut (convex side) of the supplied cable sealing gland
Bottom of the camera body through the back hole below the connectors
