Quick Start Guide

System Layout and Connections
Before you commenced the installation, it is important to produce a schematic
diagram. The diagram will be handy for any future maintenance or upgrades to the
system. The diagram should include the location of all components, cable types,
routing and length.
This is the layout plan of how your Ulysses Micro thermal camera system will be
set-up.

Camera Turret
Junction Box
12V or 24V DC

Begin by selecting an apparated location to install the camera. It should ideally be
installed at a good vantage point with emphasis on forward view.
Using the Mounting Template decal provided, mark and drill all the holes required for
Camera Turret installation at the selected location.
Prepare the camera for installation by installing the provided 4 x m6 studs into the
base of the camera (Fig.2). Be sure not to over tighten these studs as doing so may
severely damage the camera.
Pass the camera harness cable through the center hole and route it to the junction
box location. Connect the cable harness to mating connector under the camera base.
Note the orientation of the Camera Turret indicated by the “forward arrow” under the
camera and install the camera with it’s base facing toward the bow of your vessel.
Secure the camera with supplied hardware as indicated in Fig. 2.
Pro Tip: Put a temporary mark of the front side of the base, to indicate the forward
side to aid installation.
Camera can be installed on a riser in the same way.
Mounting the Camera Turret
Ensure depth of screws do not penetrate more than 13mm from the base.
Failure to observe this may severely damage the product and is not
covered under the warranty.

Mounting the Joystick Controller
Identify the desired location of the Joystick Controller.
Use the supplied mounting template decal and create
the necessary openings as indicated on the template.
The Joystick controller has a flush mounting flange
that will sit on a flat surface and sealed with a gasket.
Secure it from under the panel with supplied
hardware as indicated in Fig. 3. The supplied nut can
be fastened with fingers and then tighten with an
appropriate hand tool.
Note:
Please measure the thickness of your mounting
surface and purchase the required length of
these screws if the supplied studs are not used. Fig. 3

All essential functionalities are integrated and accessed via the 8 buttons and
joystick (Fig. 4).
Press any of the button once to activate the menu items on the screen. Use the
joystick to select and cycle-through the options available.
If you are unable to connect to the camera due to the a dierent set of IP address,
follow this step to configure the camera for Windows user.
1. Go to Settings, then click on Network & Internet.
2. Right-click on your Ethernet Network that is connected to the Junction Box and
click on Properties (Fig. 7).
Change IP Settings
3. On the properties screen, select Internet
Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on
Properties (Fig. 8).
4. On IPv4 properties screen, select Use the
following IP Address option (Fig. 9).
5. Enter the following IP address: 172.16.6.xxx (any
number). As you can see in above image (Fig. 9),
the first 3 number sets (172.16.6) in IP Address
field need to be the same as the Junction Box IP
address. You can only change the last number
set with any number from 1 to 254. Click in the
Subnet Mask area, which should auto-complete.
Click OK (Fig. 9).

Full control of the camera can be accessed through the Web Interface. You can
configure the IP address to connect to your MFD from the Settings menu.

1. Power cable - Connect the power cable provided to the [Power] port in the Junction
Box and to a DC power source on your vessel. It is recommended that you use
either a 12V or 24V DC power. The power cable consists of Black for (-) negative,
White for (+) wire. Please ensure that the correct polarity is inserted into the right
terminal (Fig. 6).
2. AV Analog cable - Connect the AV Analog cable to the Junction Box [AV] port and
the other end to your analog monitor (if required).
3. Camera harness - Connect the end of the camera harness to the ethernet port in
the Junction Box marked [Camera].
4. Controller cable - Connect the ethernet cable to the Junction Box [Controller/MFD]
port (4) and the other end the Joystick Controller.
5. MFD cable - Connect the ethernet cable to the Junction Box [Controller/MFD] port
(5) on and the other end to your MFD.
6. NMEA 0183 socket - For devices that require input from NMEA 0183 devices,
connect the NMEA 0183 data source to the [NMEA] socket in the Junction Box
using 24-20 AWG cables and the output from the NMEA device to the Rx pins in
the Junction Box.
Connecting the Cables
Junction Box
The Junction Box is the primary means to provide power to the Camera and Joystick
Controller. It also serves as a hub for data transmission and interfacing point to other
connected network devices.

You can choose to display the video output of your Ulysses Micro to a supported
MFD via IP (ethernet), an analog monitor via AV analog cable and/or a laptop
computer (via web browser). Instructions are as follows:
1. Connecting to a MFD:
Connect the ethernet cable from the [Controller/MFD] port in the Junction Box to a
compatible MFD. The camera will work with Garmin MFD with OneHelm. If you are
using a Garmin’s MFD, you should see a Ulysses Micro icon displayed on the
‘OneHelm’ page after powering up both the MFD and camera system. Launch the
Ulysses Micro icon to use the camera.
If you are using a Furuno or Navico’s MFD, you will need to configure the camera
system to communicate in the correct network environment by using a web browser
or an analog monitor/Joystick Controller. Refer to setup section on the next page.
2. Connecting to a PC:
Connect an Ethernet cable from your PC to Ethernet port on the Junction Box
marked [Controller/MFD]. On your web browser, enter the default IP address as
indicated at the base of the turret and login with the following:
Username: admin
Password: 12345
Full control of the camera can now be accessed through the Web browser.
3. Connecting to an analog monitor:
Connect the AV analog cable from the [AV] port in the Junction Box to your analog
monitor. The display will appear on the screen. Use the Joystick Controller to control
the camera.
