Installation: IRIS1720 / IRIS730
WARNING!
Warning: Installation of this product must only be carried out by a marine electronics professional or
competent person. Failure to observe these installation guidelines and good electrical practices could result
in fatal damage to the product, other on board equipment and personal injury. Observe electrical codes and
practices of the region in which the device is being installed.
When installing on board, it is essential to observe electrical safety precautions associated with the
installation and operation of DC powered electronic equipment in and around water. Ensure the waterproof
integrity of the camera, cables and connection of the device are never breached or compromised. Always
power the device from an appropriately rated fuse board or distribution panel.
Installation of the IRIS1720 / 730 necessitates a hole being cut into the structure of the vessel.
Although guidelines are provided below, the responsibility to ensure the camera is installed correctly
and is sealed sufficiently to prevent water ingress belongs to the installer, who must be suitably
competent. Iris Innovations Limited and Iris Innovations USA Corporation accept no liability
whatsoever for issues that may arise as the result of improper or sub stand installation that results
in damage caused directly or indirectly as a result of leakage.
IMPORTANT!
1) Always ensure that the vessel’s power source and battery are disconnected prior to installation!
2) Ensure a suitable fuse or circuit breaker are used. Iris recommend a 1A fuse.
3) Prior to installation, ensure there is sufficient space within the vessel to accommodate the camera,
taking into consideration room to tighten the cameras lock nut and facilitate access to connect
and disconnect the cable.
4) Although the camera housing and rear connector are waterproof, ensure the cable exit gland is
not submerged at any time in the bilge or any other area on the vessel in which the camera is
installed that may be subject to submersion. Ensure this is installed well away from any moisture
or direct heat sources.
CABLING:
The IRIS1720 / 730 requires a 12VDC power supply and draws less than 100mA. Use a suitably rated fuse
or breaker and run 2 core power cable appropriate for these requirements.
The camera outputs 1VP~P Composite Video. A suitable coaxial cable rated at 75Ωshould be used with
appropriate BNC connectors. Typical cable types are RG59, RG6 etc. Good quality cable should be used to
ensure the integrity of the video signal. Maximum length of cable run for IRIS1720 should not exceed 500m.
IRIS supply combined power and video cable with the part number: IRIS960-xx, where xx denotes the
desired length in meters.
CAT5 cable can also be used in conjunction with IRIS Balun adapters. Contact Iris for further details."

Installation: IRIS1720 / IRIS730
Procedure:
1) Locate the camera as desired, taking into consideration internal or external obstacles that may affect the
performance of the camera or inhibit the installation.
2) The camera should be positioned on a flat surface. Ensure the external surface of the hull (or transom)
are even and parallel. It may be necessary to sand or grind the surface.
3) Once the installation area is prepared, drill a 90mm (3.54”) hole using a suitable pilot hole and hole saw.
4) Ensure the inner hull surface is sealed to prevent water intrusion into the hull before the camera is
secured in place.
5) Ensure that the hull surface is free from dirt, grease and debris. Remove anti-foul from the hull surface
where the camera bezel will sit.
6) Use a suitable marine adhesive sealant (3M 4200 for example) to apply a liberal bead of sealant around
the entire circumference of the back side of the bronze bezel. A channel is machined into the back of the
bezel - ensure this is completely filled with sealant.
7) Apply a bead of sealant around the edge of the 90mm (3.54”) hole
8) Carefully slide the camera into the hole, ensure the orientation of the camera is as required. The camera
is shipped with a removable stick-on arrow to indicate the ‘top’ of the cameras field of view.
9) From inside the vessel, slide the rubber spacer rings over the camera shaft as required to ensure the lock
nut will provide a suitably tight fixing. Two rings are supplied.
10) Screw the lock nut in place and hand tighten. Do not lock fully in place at this stage.
11) Connect the Coaxial video cable to the cameras BNC jack, and 12VDC power via the DC Jack (Cabling
details above).
12) Power up the camera and ensure you have a good picture. Now make sure the camera orientation is
correct and as desired. Make changes to the camera orientation now before the sealant cures and the
lock nut is fully tightened.
13) Disconnect the cables from the camera.
14) Follow the sealant manufacturers instructions on curing time before fully tightening the camera lock nut.
15) From inside the vessel, apply another bead of sealant fully around the circumference of the camera
shaft.
16) Allow the sealant to fully cure before putting the boat back into the water.
17) Connect the power and video cable back to the camera.
DO NOT LAUNCH THE VESSEL UNLESS THE SEALANT IS FULLY CURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE SEALANT MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS AND YOU ARE SATISFIED THERE ARE NO
LEAKS.!!
