1 About this manual
Before installing and using this unit, please read this
manual carefully. Be sure to keep it handy for later
reference.
1.1 Typographical conventions
DANGER!
High level hazard.
Risk of electric shock. Disconnect the
power supply before proceeding with any
operation, unless indicated otherwise.
WARNING!
Medium level hazard.
This operation is very important for the
system to function properly. Please read
the procedure described very carefully and
carry it out as instructed.
INFO
Description of system specications.
We recommend reading this part carefully
in order to understand the subsequent
stages.
2 Notes on copyright and
information on trademarks
The quoted names of products or companies are
trademarks or registered trademarks.
3 Safety rules
The manufacturer declines all responsibility
for any damage caused by an improper use
of the appliances mentioned in this manual.
Furthermore, the manufacturer reserves
the right to modify its contents without any
prior notice. The documentation contained
in this manual has been collected with great
care, the manufacturer, however, cannot
take any liability for its use. The same thing
can be said for any person or company
involved in the creation and production of
this manual.
• The device must be installed only and exclusively
by qualied technical personnel.
• Before any technical work on the appliance,
disconnect the power supply.
• Do not use power supply cables that seem worn
or old.
• Never, under any circumstances, make any
changes or connections that are not shown in
this handbook: improper use of the appliance
can cause serious hazards, risking the safety of
personnel and of the installation.
• Use only original spare parts. Non-original spare
parts could cause re, electrical discharge or other
hazards.
• Before proceeding with installation check the
supplied material to make sure it corresponds
to the order specication by examining the
identication labels (4.2 Product markings, page 6).

EN - English - Instructions manual

• This device was designed to be permanently
installed on a building or on a suitable structure.
• When installing the device, comply with all the
national standards.
• The electrical system to which the unit is
connected must be equipped with a bipolar circuit
breaker. The minimum distance between the
contacts must be 3mm (0.1in). The circuit breaker
must be provided with protection against the fault
current towards the ground (dierential) and the
overcurrent (magnetothermal, maximum 20A).
• The device must be properly connected to the
earth circuit.
• Any device which could be installed inside the
product must comply with the current safety
standards.
• Before starting any operation, make sure the
power supply is disconnected.
• Installation category (also called Overvoltage
Category) species the level of mains voltage
surges that the equipment will be subjected to.
The category depends upon the location of the
equipment, and on any external surge protection
provided. Equipment in an industrial environment,
directly connected to major feeders/short branch
circuits, is subjected to Installation Category III. If
this is the case, a reduction to Installation Category
II is required. This can be achieved by use of an
isolating transformer with an earthed screen
between primary and secondary, or by tting
listed Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) from live
to neutral and from neutral to earth. Listed SPDs
shall be designed for repeated limiting of transient
voltage surges, suitable rated for operating voltage
and designated as follows: Type 2 (Permanently
connected SPDs intended for installation on the
load side of the service equipment overcurrent
device); Nominal Discharge Current (In) 20kA min.
For example: FERRAZ SHAWMUT, STT2240SPG-CN,
STT2BL240SPG-CN rated 120/240Vac, (In=20kA).
Maximum distance between installation and
reduction is 5m.
4 Identification
4.1 Product description and type
designation
The thermal camera provides vision also in complete
darkness, fog, rain, smoke or for long-range distances.
It is possible to use it for a wide range of high-security
day/night surveillance systems, such as: monitoring
and rescue in the event of a re, public safety,
along with airport, industrial and environmental
surveillance.
The stainless steel housing allows it to be installed in
environments with highly corrosive external agents,
such as marine, industrial or chemical environments.
4.2 Product markings
See the label attached to the outside of the package.

6.1.2 Connection of the boards
Locate the position of the power supply terminal on
the board.
Fig. 3

Fig. 4
6.1.2.1 Connection of the 24Vac power
supply line
Before the installation, make sure the
specications of the power supply system
match the ones required by the device.
Make sure the power supply system and the
connection cables are properly sized.
The earth cable must be approximately
10mm (0.4in) longer than the other two
cables to prevent it from accidentally
coming o if it is stretched.
The power supply cable should also be
covered by the silicone sheath (01) supplied
for this purpose, and fastened with the
corresponding tie (02).
Cut the cables to the correct length and make the
connections. Connect the power supply to the
terminal.

The board has two DIP switches used to congure the
serial line terminations (120 Ohm) (Fig. 4, page8).
Every peripheral that is situated at the end of a line
must be terminated using the appropriate dip-switch
in order to prevent signal reection and distortion.
Dip-switches 7 and 8 terminate serial lines RS485-1
and RS485-2 respectively.
DIP switches 1 and 2 terminate the RS422-RX and
RX422-TX serial lines, respectively.

EN - English - Instructions manual
14
8.2 Cleaning
8.2.1 Cleaning IR glass
Surface dirt should be rinsed away with water and
then the window cleaned with a neutral soap diluted
with water, or specic products for spectacle lens
cleaning. These should be applied with a soft cloth.
When cleaning the window with the IR lter,
take extra care not to scratch or damage the
outer surface treated with carbon coating.
Damage to this coating could also interfere
with the transparency of the surface to
infrared light. Do not use ethyl alcohol,
solvents, hydrogenated hydrocarbons,
strong acids or alkalis. These products will
irreparably damage the surface of the IR
glass.
