Safety information
2
WARNING
Make sure that you read all applicable MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) and warning labels on con-
tainers before you use a liquid. The liquids can be dangerous. Injury to persons can occur.
WARNING
Applicability: FLIR Ax5.
Do not use screws that are too long. If you use screws that are too long, damage to the camera will occur.
The maximum depth of the M3 holes is 4 mm (0.15 in.).
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.

Mechanical installation
7
The camera unit has been designed to allow it to be mounted in any position. It has a
mounting interface on the bottom with four metric M3 holes.
WARNING
Do not use screws that are too long. Using screws that are too long will damage the camera. The maxi-
mum depth of the M3 holes is 4 mm (0.15 in.).
NOTE
The camera generates a considerable amount of heat during operation. This is normal. In order to trans-
fer this heat, it is recommended that the camera is mounted on a base support or a heat sink made of a
material that has a high capacity to transfer heat, e.g., aluminum. FLIR Systems provides P/N T198349
(base support) for this purpose, but other base supports or heat sinks can be used.
The use of the base support is also strongly recommended in order to minimize temperature drift of the
infrared detector in the camera.
If the camera unit is to be permanently mounted on the application site, certain steps have
to be taken. The camera unit might need to be enclosed in a protective housing and, de-
pending on the ambient conditions (e.g., temperature), the housing may need to be cooled
by means of water or air. In very dusty conditions the installation might also need to have a
stream of pressurized air directed at the lens, in order to prevent dust build-up.
When mounting the camera unit in harsh environments, every precaution should be taken
when it comes to securing the unit. If the environment exposes the unit to severe vibra-
tions, there may arise a need to secure the mounting screws by means of Loctite or anoth-
er industrial brand of thread-locking liquid, as well as to dampen the vibrations by
mounting the camera unit on a specially designed mounting base.
For further information regarding mounting recommendations and environmental enclo-
sures, contact FLIR Systems.
The camera is typically powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet). A PoE injector and ca-
ble kit are available from FLIR Systems. See the part numbers below.
