2. Introduction

Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most important instruments you can have as

part of your security system. The D-Series Thermal Camera is a state-of-the-art thermal imaging

system especially suited to accommodate security surveillance of moving objects within a large

area.

The D-Series camera is a compact, all-in-one thermal imager with outstanding sensitivity and

image quality. The on-focal-plane circuitry, combined with FLIR’s advanced signal processing

electronics, enables the camera to maintain excellent dynamic range and image uniformity over

a wide temperature range.The domecasing allows easy ceiling installation in a variety of indoor

locations to provide round-the-clock, high quality analog video (NTSC or PAL) with full pan, tilt

and zoom control.

Designed specifically for indoor use, the FLIR D-Series Camera is ideal for demanding security

surveillance installations at airports, railway stations, supermarkets, judicial buildings, prisons,

banks, casinos, etc.

The D-Series camera is designed for simple, intuitive installation and operation. Each camera is

based on FLIR’s widely-deployed uncooled microbolometer imaging core. All cameras include

FLIR’s advanced image processing techniques which deliver excellent contrast regardless of

scene dynamics.

2.1 Advantages of Thermal Imaging

FLIR’s powerful D-6 and D-19 indoor thermal dome cameras compliment and complete your

security camera network. They turn night into day, letting you see through smoke and in total

darkness. When the lights go out, or smoke renders conventional CCTV cameras useless, D-

Series cameras still see clearly.

Originally developed for the military, thermal imaging cameras are now deployed in numerous

commercial applications where it is impractical or too expensive to use active illumination

(lights). They are perfect for wide-area surveillance in critical infrastructure or high-value

residence installations where lighting is unwelcome or impractical. The camerasalso provide

improved daytime surveillance in environments where traditional CCTV security camera

performance suffers, such as in shadows, backlit scenes or through foliage.

Low-cost infrared illuminated cameras rely on near infrared (NIR) lamps to illuminate threats,

resulting in shadows, reflections, backscatter, higher power consumption, narrow areas of

illumination and much shorter ranges than passive thermal camera technology.

Unlike other night vision systems that require low amounts of light to generate an image, the D-

Series Camera thermal imager needs no light at all.

The D-Series Camera is designed to be compatible with standard security systems employing

ordinary daylight cameras, with a variety of connection options available. Installation is straight

forward with standard interfaces for power, video (NTSC or PAL), and serial control (Pelco D

protocol over RS-485). The choice of lenses for the cameras (6.3mm and 19mm) allows for

short-or medium-range surveillance capability.

The D-Series Camera features a wide field of view and is capable of providing an image even in

absolute darkness. Figure 1 shows the limitations of images obtained with a standard CCTV

camera and the advantages provided by the D-Series camera in extreme conditions.

Figure 1: Differences in imagery obtained with a standard CCTV camera (left) and the FLIR D-

Series Camera (right)

2.2Pan/Tilt Mechanism

The FLIR D-Series Camera provides a continuous 360° pan operation and a 90° tilt operation

with automatic flip to provide complete 180° tilt coverage. The pan and tilt speeds range from

0.5° per second to 100° per second. To accommodate typical security surveillance operations,

up to 80 preset locations can be configured on the camera. The camera can also be set to

continuously auto scan between two positions or up to 200 points can be set in a repeating

pattern.

2.3Connections and Communication Protocol

The D-Series camera provides standard video format output via a BNC connector. The camera

is controlled using the Pelco-D protocol over RS485 serial communications, and is powered

using a 24V AC power supply. The camera is provided with a 6foot bundled cable system that

includes the connections for video, power and serial control.

Any device that communicates with the Pelco-D protocol can be used as a control unit, including

a commonly-used joystick keyboard such as the Pelco KBD300A or a more sophisticated device

such as an IP-encoder with serial control. The control unit can be used to operate the following

functions or features:

?Pan/Tilt operation

?Set or activate preset location

?Set or Initiate auto scan or pattern scan sequence

?Zoom (2x digital zoom, available on D-19 camera only)

?Video palette (white hot by default, black hot and rainbow palettes available also)

?Scene setting (user-selectable automatic gain control settings)

?Invert Image

2.4 Mounting Options

The FLIR Thermal Camera is designed to be mounted in the ceiling. The camera is ordinarily

mounted with the main camera assembly above the ceiling, with only the camera dome and trim

ring exposed. During the installation, the main camera assembly is temporarily removed from

the camera housing enclosure. The housing enclosure is installed in the ceiling, then the

camera body is reinstalled in the housing, and finally the trim ring is installed. FLIR recommends

using a mounting board and chain when installing in a drop ceiling.

Alternatively, for locations where there is insufficient clearance above the ceiling, the camera

can be installed hanging from the ceiling (known as a “pendant” mount), in which case the entire

camera body (minus the housing enclosure) hangs below the ceiling. The housing enclosure is

not used with this type of installation. See sections 3 and 4 for detailed installation instructions.

Figure 2: Types of installation

CAUTION

The

camera should be installed in accordance with local codes and industry

standard safe practices.

3.2 Installation Requirements

Generally, some level of disassembly and reassembly is necessary during the installation

process. If it is necessary to change any of the default settings (for example, the Pelco

address), refer to section 4.1. Disassembling the Domefor information on how to take apart the

camera assembly prior to installation and access the configuration DIP switches. It is also

necessary to separate the base from the main camera assembly if the cables that are provided

with the camera are to be replaced with other cables.

In order to get familiar with the camera installation and operation, it may be wise to make the

appropriate connections to the camera while the camera is on a test bench prior to doing the

actual installation. Observe the initial power-on self-testbefore you install the camera into the

ceiling and ensure that it is supplying video to a monitor and responding to the joystick

controller. The wiring connectionsare described below.

Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) wiring is recommended for the RS485 cable to avoid problems with

performance, communication or video noise. The shielding wire must be grounded.

Safety Requirements -the ceiling should meet the following safety requirements:

1. The installation site must have enough clearance to allow for the necessary freedom of

travel for pan and tilt operation over the full range.Refer to the Specifications section for

specific dimensions.

2. The installation site must be stable and sturdy enough to hold the camera during the

continuous pan and tilt movement.

3. The installation materials mustbe capable of supporting well in excess of the weight of

the product and accessories. FLIR Systems, Inc. is not responsible for damage or injury

that results from an improperly installed camera.

Tools/Materials Needed

?Small slotted screw driver

?Phillips screw driver

?Soft lens cloth

?Wire nuts

?Safety chain or cable for in-ceiling installation

?Appropriate tool(s) for cutting hole in ceiling

CAUTION

The Dome Camera is intended to be mounted in the ceiling with the camera

facing away from the mounting plane. Any other type of installation is not appropriate and

could result in undesirable operation, which will void the warranty.

AUTION

! The Dome Camera should be installed by a certified CCTV installer who has

experience working with CCTV system component installation, operation and repair.

Incorrect installation could void your warranty.

The D-Series camera has 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

the camera.

3.2.1 Power On Self-Test

The D-Series Camera goes through a self-testprocess after power on. The camera will tilt up to

the top near the trim ring and the dome will perform a full rotation. The self-testis complete

when the camera tilts to the home position. Although the unit will produce a video signal

during the self-test, it is not possible to operate the camera (pan/tilt or other operations)

until the self-test process is complete.

NOTE

ground connection to the exterior of the camera (for example, to the spring clip) is

insufficient.

Caution!

The camera must be installed according to industry

standard practices and local

electrical codes. Failure to properly connect the camera to ground could result in damage to

the camera and possible bodily injury.

NOTE

if you en

counter problems with the self

check process, please refer to the

Troubleshooting section for recommendations.

during installation.

ceiling (“pendant” installation), in which case the entire camera body (minus the housing

enclosure mount) hang from the ceiling in plain view. Which mounting type you use depends on

your specific security needs.

When cutting the hole for the camera in the ceiling, be sure to follow the template provided

carefully. If the hole is cut too large or imprecisely, the camera will not fit snugly in the hole and

it will be difficult to secure the camera safely.

Cut an approximately 9 ½ “ diameter hole in the surface where the dome is to be

mounted using the template provided with the SR-Series camera. A sketch(not to

scale) is shown in Figure 5.

NOTE

It may be useful to have another person hold the camera in place while tightening the

spring clips.

4. Removing the main camera assembly from the housing

enclosure

With certain installations, including a pendant mount installation, it may be necessary to remove

the camera from the housing enclosure. It may also be necessary to remove the base from the

main camera assembly so the DIP switches are accessible (for example, to change the Pelco

address). The instructions for these disassembly steps are provided below.

4.1. Disassembling the Dome

The PC board and electrical interface board are located within the inner dome cylinder. To

disassemble the dome, follow these steps:

If the power is on, power off the unit.

Turn the trim ring counter-clockwise and remove it from the unit.

Reach inside and lift the catch on the bottom of the inner cylinder. Push down on

the cylinder and turn the cylinder counter-clockwise to release it, then pull the

cylinder up.
