WARNING
DEVICE SENSITIVE TO ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
The camera electronics and electronic interfaces are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. Please follow appropriate ESD procedures when
handling the camera and during installation. For PoE installations, CBC
AMERICA strongly recommends the use of STP cabling and an earth
grounded end point to ensure proper ESD immunity. For AC or DC
powered installations, a properly earth grounded power source is strongly
recommended.
CAUTION
To ensure a proper earth ground (between the GANZ THERMAL camera
and a PoE switch) CBC AMERICA strongly recommends the use of Shielded
Twisted Pair (STP) cabling. Installations of GANZ THERMAL cameras using
a STP cabling and a properly earth grounded PoE switch are tested to
comply with industry immunity standards for Electro Static Discharge.
Any other installation method may leave the camera at risk and void the
warranty.

Prepare Cables and Gland
1. Slide all needed cables through the bottom of the top hat.
2. Remove electrical nut from the cable gland and place the orange
O-ring on the threaded side of the cable gland.
3. Secure cables through the cable gland for IP66 installation by
using one of the below procedures:
Securing for IP66 (POE only)
1. Slide the Ethernet cable through the threaded end of the cable
sealing gland, with Orange O-Ring installed.

2. Measure approximately 5 inches of cable slack from the end of the
cable to the rubber grommet of the sealing gland. Use a scale to
measure the length.
3. Attach one open end wrench onto the flange of the cable gland
and tighten the compression nut, with the second open wrench, to
approximately 50-55 in-lbs. of torque
4. Assemble a new RJ45 head to the Cat 5 Ethernet Cable
Securing for IP66 (Ethernet & AC/DC power):
1. Slide the Ethernet cable through the threaded end of the cable
sealing gland, with O-Ring installed.
2. Slide the 2, 20 AWG power wires through the back side of the
cable sealing gland.
3. Measure approximately 5 inches of cable slack from the end of the
cable to the rubber grommet of the sealing gland. Use a scale to
measure the length.
4. Attach one open end wrench onto the flange of the cable gland
and tighten the compression nut, with the second open wrench, to
approximately 50-55 in-lbs. of torque.
5. Assemble a new RJ45 head to the Cat 5 Ethernet Cable.
6. Assemble a mating power connector to the 2 AC or 2 DC power
cables.
Securing for IP66 (Analog & AC/DC Power)
1. Slide the Coax cable through the threaded end of the cable sealing
gland, with O-Ring installed.
2. Slide the 2, 20 AWG power wires (and any RS-485 wires) through
the back side of the cable sealing gland.
3. Measure approximately 5 inches of cable slack from the end of the
cable to the rubber grommet of the sealing gland for the power
wires and approximately 10 inches of cable slack for the analog
cable. Use a scale to measure the length.
4. Attach one open end wrench onto the flange of the cable gland
and tighten the compression nut, with the second open wrench, to
approximately 50-55 in-lbs. of torque.
5. Assemble a new BNC connector to the Coax Cable.
6. Assemble a mating power connector to the 2 AC or 2 DC power
cables (and RS-485 cables if used).
Securing for IP66 (Analog & Ethernet)
1. Put the nut onto the cables first. And then push the analog video
cable (RG179BU required for this configuration) and CAT5 cable
through the gland. The CAT5 cable goes through the center. The
analog video goes through one of the 5 outer holes.

thread of the cable sealing gland through the bottom of the top
hat.
2. Assemble the Electrical Nut back onto the gland and tighten the
Nut securely until it is finger tight. Use a flat head screwdriver to
continue turning the electrical nut until it reaches approximately
50 in-lbs of torque.
Wiring & Assembling the PT Thermal Camera
1. Connect the cable(s) to the respective connector:
a. Ethernet: Ethernet Port
b. Analog: Analog Video Out
i. To ensure a proper fit for RG6 or RG59 coax
cable, loop the excess cable slack along the
bottom of the top hat and then connect the
cable to the Analog Video Out port.
c. AC/DC Power: Connect wires to power block:
2. If powering the camera with an AC supply, connect AC+ to the
24VAC input and the AC- to the other 24VAC input
3. If powering the camera with a DC supply, connect the DC+ to the
12VDC input and the DC- (or ground) to the GND input.
4. RS-485: Connect wires to RS-485 Block.
a. Connect the RS-485+ pin to the camera’s POS and
connect the RS-485- pin to the camera’s NEG pin and the
RS-485 Ground to the camera’s GND.
5. Reconnect Power to the existing cable(s).
6. Check for Solid LED on the Ethernet connector to acknowledge
connectivity to the IP network. The status LED indicators are:
