Safety information
2
WARNING
Applicability: FLIR A3xx pt & G300 pt.
Be careful when you touch the unit. Some parts can be sharp and cause injury.
CAUTION
Do not point the infrared camera (with or without the lens cover) at strong energy sources, for example,
devices that cause laser radiation, or the sun. This can have an unwanted effect on the accuracy of the
camera. It can also cause damage to the detector in the camera.
CAUTION
Do not use the camera in temperatures more than +50°C (+122°F), unless other information is specified
in the user documentation or technical data. High temperatures can cause damage to the camera.
CAUTION
Do not apply solvents or equivalent liquids to the camera, the cables, or other items. Damage to the bat-
tery and injury to persons can occur.
CAUTION
Be careful when you clean the infrared lens. The lens has an anti-reflective coating which is easily dam-
aged. Damage to the infrared lens can occur.
CAUTION
Do not use too much force to clean the infrared lens. This can cause damage to the anti-reflective
coating.
CAUTION
Applicability: Cameras with an automatic shutter that can be disabled.
Do not disable the automatic shutter in the camera for a long time period (a maximum of 30 minutes is
typical). If you disable the shutter for a longer time period, damage to the detector can occur.
NOTE
The encapsulation rating is only applicable when all the openings on the camera are sealed with their cor-
rect covers, hatches, or caps. This includes the compartments for data storage, batteries, and
connectors.
CAUTION
Applicability: Cameras where you can remove the lens and expose the infrared detector.
Do not use the pressurized air from the pneumatic air systems in a workshop when you remove dust from
the detector. The air contains oil mist to lubricate the pneumatic tools and the pressure is too high. Dam-
age to the detector can occur.

7.1 Installation overview
Figure 7.1 FLIR A3xx pt series camera
The FLIR A3xx pt series camera is a multi-sensor camera system on a pan/tilt platform.
Combinations of an infrared thermal imaging camera and a visible-light video camera are
intended for outdoor installations.
The FLIR A3xx pt series camera is intended to be mounted on a medium-duty fixed ped-
estal 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 45 lb. (20 kg).
The FLIR A3xx pt 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 vid-
eo will require a connection to a video monitor or an 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.
The camera can be controlled through either serial or IP communication.
The camera operates on 24 VAC (21–30 VAC; 24 VAC: 215 VA max. with heater) or 24
VDC (21–30 VDC; 24 VDC: 195 W max. with heater).
In order to access the electrical connections and install the cables, it is necessary to tem-
porarily remove the back cover of the camera housing.
7.2 Installation components
In addition to the items included in the cardboard box, the installer will need to supply the
following items:
• Electrical wire, for system power.
• Camera grounding strap.
• Coaxial RG59U video cables (BNC connector at the camera end) for analog video.
• Shielded Category 6 Ethernet cable for control and streaming video over an IP network;
and also for software upgrades.
• Optional serial cable for serial communication.
• Miscellaneous electrical hardware, connectors, and tools.
7.3 Location considerations
The camera will require connections for power, communications (IP Ethernet and/or RS-
232/RS-422), and video (two video connections may be required for analog video
installations).
NOTE
Install all cameras with an easily accessible Ethernet connection, to support future software upgrades.
Ensure that cable lengths do not exceed the referenced standard specifications, and also adhere to all lo-
cal and Industry standards, codes, and best practises.

7.4 Camera mounting
FLIR A3xx pt 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 FLIR A3xx pt series camera can be secured to the mount with four 5/16″ or M8 bolts,
as shown below.
NOTE
Use washers to protect the painting.
Once the mounting location has been selected, verify that both sides of the mounting sur-
face are accessible.

Installation

Figure 7.3 FLIR A3xx pt series camera mounting (mm)
Connect and operate the camera as a bench test at ground level prior to mounting the
camera in its final location.
Use a thread-locking compound such as Loctite 242 or an equivalent with all metal-to-met-
al threaded connections.
Using the template supplied with the camera as a guide, mark the location of the holes for
mounting the camera. If the template is printed, ensure that it is printed to scale so that the
dimensions are correct.
Once the holes are drilled in the mounting surface, install four (4) 5/16″ or M8 bolts
through the base of the camera.
7.5 Prior to cutting/drilling holes
When selecting a mounting location for the FLIR A3xx pt series camera, consider cable
lengths and cable routing. Ensure that the cables are long enough given the proposed
mounting locations and cable routing requirements.
Use cables that have sufficient dimensions to ensure safety (for power cables) and ad-
equate signal strength (for video and communications).
