Introduction.
These are no ordinary cameras. Thanks to careful development and rigorous testing, these cameras are
equipped to survive in harsh environments and provide enhanced features. Two main models are available
to offer optical only or optical plus thermal imaging abilities.
The numerous benefits of both camera types include:
•Flat toughened glass window – scratch resistant, maintenance-free and optically correct,
•ntegral Wiper – to clean away rain and deposits caused by wind, sea spray and road traffic,
•Anodised aluminium castings, with powder coating to resist
corrosion in the harshness of marine environments,
•Stainless steel case fastenings,
•Optional washer system interface,
•Optional infra-red LED illumination system,
•Multiple native control protocols: RS-485 (Simplex/Half-duplex)

Installation
Camera mounting
The camera is designed to be mounted upright or hanging. By
nature of its rugged construction the camera is a heavy item and
thus requires a substantial and stable mounting. The camera can
be supplied with an optional mount adaptor to allow fixing to
industry standard brackets, towers or columns.
The mount adaptor has two cable entry points:
•(1) A pass-through hole in the end plate to allow the composite
cable to enter unseen from a column, tube or bracket type
mounting, plus
•(2) A conduit thread (M25) in the side wall to permit composite
cable entry via a flexible conduit attached to the adaptor.
To mount the camera
1Thread the composite cable through the appropriate entry hole
into the mount adaptor before it is fixed to the column or
bracket.
2To avoid placing strain upon the electrical connections,
arrange the composite cable such that approximately 120mm
of the weatherproof connector protrudes out from the smaller
plate that will connect to the camera.
3 Secure the mount adaptor to the supporting structure using
M8 bolts, washers and Nyloc® type nuts where appropriate.
4 Remove the four hex head bolts from the camera base and
push the connector back into the mount adaptor.
5Offer the camera to the mount adaptor and clip the lanyard
onto the lug of the mount adaptor. n addition to being an
essential safety device during operation, the lanyard is useful
as a temporary hanging point when the camera is being
mounted in the inverted position.
6 Carefully note the orientation notches of cable connector and
camera socket. Align the notches accordingly and insert the
connector onto the socket of the camera base. Twist the
connector’s retaining ring until it fully locks into place.
7 Align the four holes of the mount adaptors with those on the
camera base and insert the four hex head bolts.
8 Tighten the bolts to approximately 1.6Kg/m. Do not over
tighten bolts.
IMPORTA T: Always use sprung washers and yloc® nuts
in order to significantly reduce the possibility of bolts working loose due to vibration during
operation.
Cable entry path must be watertight to avoid ingress and build-up of water around the connector.

To tilt the camera head
When mounting upright, the camera head can be cantered to allow it a field of view clear of the pan motor
section of the housing.
1Unscrew and withdraw the M5 socket head retaining bolt from the middle of the front of the yoke.
2Carefully tip the yoke assembly forward.
3Re-insert the bolt from the rear of the yoke and tighten to approximately 0.97Kg/m. Do not over
tighten the bolt.
The camer's Setup > Configuration menu should be adjusted to indicate that the head has been cantered,
in order to ensure appropriate operation.

Configuration switches
These switches set the address and protocol of the camera. f all switches are off then the address is taken
from the camera’s internal memory and can be set using the menu. The default for the internal memory is 1.
Settings related to telemetry control can be configured using two banks of switches (S1 and S2) located
behind a removable panel within the hub of the camera. To access the switches, remove the two retaining
screws and remove the panel:

Device ID address (block S1, switches 1 to 8)
The 8 switches are the binary code of the address so switch 1-1 is equal to 1, switch 1-2 to 2, switch 1-3 to 4,
etc. (powers of 2).
For instance, an address of 65 would be 1+64, requiring switches 1 and 7 to be on.
Some sample values are in the table below.
