Radar Overview
The Elara Radar is a perimeter security radar that supplements PTZ camera installations. Multiple
simultaneous target tracking and superior performance in poor environmental conditions make the
Elara Radar a critical component for complete security solutions. It features inclusion and exclusion
(masking) zone configuration.
When the radar is connected to an IP network, it functions as a server, providing services such as
network communications. The server uses an open, standards-based communication protocol to
communicate with FLIR and third-party video management system (VMS) clients, including systems
that are compatible with ONVIF®.1For a list of supported VMS clients, refer to the individual product
web page at FLIR.com.
The radar’s display is viewed by streaming it as video over an IP network using M-JPEG encoding.
The Elara Radars are components within the FLIR Thermal Fence, which combines FLIR Elara
Radars, thermal security cameras, and control and management software in a fully integrated
perimeter security solution. The FLIR Thermal Fence provides automated perimeter surveillance,
intrusion detection, and alert capabilities for perimeter security applications. The FLIR Thermal Fence
gives you instant, automated threat detection and visual threat assessment capability around the clock
in one easy-to-use package.

2.1 Configuring the Radar for Networking
You can configure the radar for networking before or after mounting it.
By default, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled on the radar and a DHCP server
on your network assigns the radar an IP address. If there is no DHCP server on the network, the
radar’s IP address defaults to 192.168.0.250 and the netmask defaults to 255.255.255.0.
You can specify another IP address for the radar and configure it for networking with the FLIR
Discovery Network Assistant (DNA) software tool or with the radar’s web page.
To configure the radar for networking before
mounting it:
Step 1 The radar assembly and the back box
are shipped in separate boxes. Remove
the radar assembly from its shipping box
and place it on a table, desk, or other flat
surface with the THIS SIDE UP marking
on the radar assembly facing up.

Installation
2.2 Radar Placement and Orientation
The Elara Radar is designed for outdoor security applications. Typically, the radar faces out from the
perimeter it is protecting. The following factors determine the optimal location:
• Unobstructed line of sight to the area under surveillance
• Radar height above ground
• Proximity to large metallic radar-reflective objects such as buildings, trucks, or aircraft
• Power and connectivity availability
Mount the radar in a location where it has an unobstructed view of the area to be monitored.
Understanding that it might not be possible to get an unobstructed line of sight out to the
instrumented range, select the mounting location to maximize the area the radar can monitor.
Consider terrain contour. FLIR recommends pointing the radar at an angle aligned with the general
slope of the terrain under surveillance. Also consider seasonal vegetation changes; and potential
obstruction from ground vehicles such as cars, trucks and trains, as well as aircraft and ships,
because it may change over time.
FLIR recommends installing the Elara Radar at a height of approximately 2 m (6.5 ft) or higher.
In addition to the line of sight considerations, there shouldn’t be any large metallic object or structure
in front of the radar within the first 100 meters (330 ft) over a 180° azimuth sector. It should also face
away from walls or fences that can cause reflections.
Important
Peak gain for the radar is at -3°, which appears as Peak Gain Ray in the dead zone modeling
diagram below. It is slightly below the vertical pointing angle (the purple line in the diagram).
Therefore, for optimum detection distance, locate and aim the radar so that the farthest targets
coincide with the Peak Gain Ray, which appears as Peak Gain Distance in the diagram.
Do not point the radar at metallic surfaces that are closer than one meter away.
Dead zone modeling

427-0101-01-12 Revision 100 September 2020 10
This document does not contain any export-controlled information.
Installation
To improve detection of closer targets, you can aim the radar lower, at the expense of detecting
targets further away. For example, at a road intersection when detecting close-range pedestrians
and cyclists is more important than detecting cars 500 meters away.
The diagrams below show the radar’s dead zone distances according to vertical pointing angle at
mounting heights of 4 m and 6 m (20 ft). The distances are for flat ground with no slope.
To provide full radar coverage for a sector, the ranges of two or more radars might overlap. After you
configure them so that their radar frequencies do not interfere with other on the Radar Page, you can
configure an Elara Radar to fuse tracking information from one or more other Elara Radars with its
own tracking information; see the Radar Fusion Page. With accurate georeference information
configured, the radar performing the fusion can determine whether it and a fused radar are tracking
the same object; see Uploading a Map Image and Configuring Georeference Settings.
You can mount the radar directly on a wall or, using an optional mounting accessory, in a corner or
onto a pole. Ensure that the radar is on a stable mount with minimal vibrations and resistance to
wind. For information about the mounting accessories available for the Elara Radar, see the FLIR
Security Cameras - Accessory Guide.
Regarding orientation, note the following:
• The two guide pins on the radar assembly that fit only one way into the corresponding holes on
the back box.
• There are three possible ways to secure the back box onto the wall mount bracket. However,
only one way allows you to route a conduit into the side opening of the back box and cable from
the conduit through the grommets, for surface mounting.
• The text stamped on the inside of the wall mount bracket that indicates the appropriate screw
holes for different types of electrical boxes.

• The THIS SIDE UP marking and the FLIR logo on the radar assembly.
Note
2.3 Site Preparation
The following recommendations provide for proper installation and operation of the radar. Adhere to
all local and industry standards, codes, and best practices.
•Ambient Environment Conditions: Avoid positioning the radar near heaters or heating system
outputs. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
•Safety: Cables and electrical cords should be routed in a manner that prevents safety hazards.
Ensure that nothing rests on the radar’s cables or power cords.
•Ample Air Circulation: Leave enough space around the radar to allow free air circulation.
•Physical Security: The radar provides threat detection for physical security systems. In order to
ensure that the radar cannot be disabled or tampered with, the system should be installed with
security measures regarding physical access by trusted and untrusted parties.
•Network Security: The radar 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. Install the radar on the backbone of a trusted network.
•Electrostatic Discharge Safeguards: The radar and other equipment connected to it (relay
outputs, alarm inputs, racks, carpeting, etc.) shall be properly grounded to prevent electrostatic
discharge.
2.4 Installing the Wall Mount Bracket
The wall mount bracket fits standard electrical boxes. For surface mounting, route the conduit into
the side opening of the back box.
Step 1 Remove the back box cover by unscrewing it from the back box.
While it is possible to install the wall mount bracket so that the text on the inside of the wall mount
bracket is not upright, when you aim the radar, make sure the THIS SIDE UP marking on the
radar assembly faces up and the FLIR logo on the flat front panel is upright.

Step 2 The wall mount bracket is shipped attached to the back box. Using the screwdriver,
unscrew the three quarter-turn twist-lock screws to release the wall mount bracket.
Step 3 Using the appropriate screw holes marked on the wall mount bracket, secure it to the
electrical box.
2.5 Connecting the Radar and Installing the Back Box
When mounted, all of the radar’s connections are made inside the back box. The radar assembly
plugs into the back box.
Power
The radar can be powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE) or with a conventional 24 VAC or 12 VDC
power supply. The Elara Radar is a Powered Device compliant with the IEEE 802.3af-2003
standard. To use PoE, connect the radar to either a IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard PoE switch or a
PoE injector.
The maximum Ethernet cable run is 100 meters, including the PoE power supply. Installations using
PoE and IP video only require a single Ethernet cable connection.
Grounding
Ensure the radar is properly grounded. Failure to properly ground it can lead to permanent damage
to the radar. Typical to good grounding practices, the radar back box chassis ground should be
connected to the lowest resistance path possible.
To connect the Elara Radar and install the back box:
Step 1 Ensure the power supply or circuit breaker is off.
Step 2 For each cable, use the Torx wrench to punch a hole in the center of the grommet from the
underside. Insert the cable from the conduit though the hole.
Step 3 Push the cable back through the seal so the seal extends out of the back box, as shown:
