1.5 Camera Enclosure Mounting
Prior to cutting/drilling holes; when selecting a mounting location for the D-Series camera
enclosure, consider cable lengths and cable routing. Ensure 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 adequate
signal strength (for video and communications).
The D-Series camera enclosure can be secured to the mount or mounting surface with four 3/
8 or M8 fasteners, as shown below. The fastener/anchor type is dependant on the mount or
mounting surface. Use a thread locking compound such as Loctite 242 or equivalent with all
metal to metal threaded connections.
Using the template supplied as a guide, mark the location of the holes for mounting the camera
enclosure. If the template is printed, be sure it is printed to scale so the dimensions are
correct. See “D-Series Mounting Template” on page A-2.
Once the holes are drilled in the mounting surface, install four (4) 3/8 or M8 bolts through the
attachment points of the Camera Mount Enclosure as shown in Figure 1-3.
Important Note
If the camera is to be mounted on a pole or tower or other hard-to-reach location, connect
and operate the camera as a bench test at ground level prior to mounting the camera in its
final location.

1.7 Electrical Connections and Schematics
1.7.1 Cable Gland Sealing
Proper installation of cable sealing glands and use of appropriate elastomer inserts is critical to
long term reliability. Cables enter the camera mount enclosure through liquid-tight compression
glands. Be sure to insert the cables through the cable glands on the enclosure before
terminating and connecting them (the connectors will not fit through the cable gland). Leave the
gland nuts loosened until all cable installation has been completed. Inspect and install gland
fittings in the access plates with suitable leak sealant and tighten to ensure water tight fittings.
Teflon tape or pipe sealant (i.e. DuPont RectorSeal T™) are suitable for this purpose.
Recommended installation torque for specific Thomas and Betts brand cable gland fittings is:
7.6 newton-meter
1.7.2 Cable Gland Inserts
For reference multi-hole inserts:
½ NPT gland fitting inserts typically accept 0.19” to 0.25” diameter cables.
1.7.3 Typical Cable Schematic
Note
The D-Series enclosure comes with two ½ NPT gland fitting inserts, each with a three hole
grommet. Cables may be between 0.19" to 0.25" od. Typically up to five cables may be needed
and plugs (supplied with the system) are required to fill the grommet holes not being used.
If non-standard cable diameters are used, you may need to locate or fabricate the appropriate
insert to fit the desired cable. FLIR Commercial Systems, Inc. does not provide cable gland
inserts other than what is supplied with the system.
D-Series enclosure cable connections are shown schematically in Figure 1-4.
Typical recommended service loops are shown in Figure 1-5.
Be sure to insert the cables through the cable glands on the enclosure before terminating
and connecting them. In general, the terminated connectors will not fit through the cable
gland.
