5 Detector Location
Points of Consideration
For choosing the best position to install the detector, take the following points into consideration:
•The detector must be located and installed so that its Field of View (FOV), the distance to the target, is
per the ‘theoretical spot size ratio’ calculation. Use the user-friendly spreadsheet “36224 – Xtralis VIS-IR
Theoretical Spot Size Ratio Calculator” for quick calculations and results.
•Install the detector in a position that it looks at the monitoring area as clear as possible. Avoid the
maximum obstacles to get a good image for the detector.
•Install the detector high enough to ensure that there are no shadows in the Region of Interest (ROI).
•The FOV of the detector must be oriented to the central point of the area to monitor.
•Avoid reflections and direct sunlight on the target.
•Avoid direct sunlight on the detector lens (saturation) of the visual detector.
•Shield nuisance heat sources from the target where possible.
•In indoor installations, the most common is to install the detectors in the corners. In this way, the best
perspective in vision is achieved.
•The required number of detectors for the system will depend on the area shape, the used lenses and
the required pixel size. If two or more detectors are needed, the optimal solution is to normally install the
detectors facing each other. The monitoring in opposite direction avoids having shadow areas. See the
following figure:
Figure 2: Detectors Installation in Warehouse
•For monitoring inside of tunnels, the recommended installation for the detectors is as following:
Figure 3: Detectors Installation in Tunnel

VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis
36218_A2 7
FOV and Theoretical Spot Size Calculation
The Spreadsheet “36224 – Xtralis VIS-IR Theoretical Spot Size Ratio Calculator”is a user-friendly tool to
determine lens, distance and minimum detection size at a given distance.
The sheet allows to calculate according to the 5x5 pixel rule (CNPP approved installations) or the 3x3 pixel
rule per the Manufacturer’s guidance.
Figure 4: Xtralis VIS-IR Theoretical Spot Size Ratio Calculator

6 Installation
The detector comes with a pre-fitted junction box. It would be preferable to mount the junction box prior to
installing the detector.
Figure 5: Wall Mounted FTD
The detector can be wall mounted as explained below:
1. Prepare the detector,
2. Unscrew the junction box,
3. Remove the wiring from the detector,
4. Screw the junction box onto the wall,

VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis
36218_A2 9
Figure 6: Screw the Junction Box
5. Perform field wiring as per section 5.2,
6. Bring in the detector and connect the wires and then screw the detector housing to the junction box,
Figure 7: Screw the Detector Housing to the Junction Box
7. Power up the device after the connection to the router is complete, and ensure the router is powered up
for camera to acquire IP.

VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis
36218_A2 10
Adjusting Camera Position
If any adjustments are required for the camera positioning, loosen the screws, adjust the position and then
tighten the screws using Torx T10.
Figure 8: Adjust Camera Position
Wiring
The junction box can be pre-mounted and field wiring can be done by an electrical contractor prior to the
detector installation and commissioning. The connectors for the field wiring are push-in type connections, fitting
0.2~0.75 mm 2/24~20 AWG wires. The cables coming from the detector are fitted with connectors that simply
plug into the termination board.
The Ethernet cable is fitted with a female RJ connector.
Figure 9: Female RJ Connector

VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis
36218_A2 11
Figure 10: Wiring Diagram
Power
There are two sets of power terminals on the junction box. Connect a 24 VDC power supply which is compliant
with local fire protection codes and standards to the PWR IN socket, and if required loop out to another detector
via the PWR OUT socket. The detector will not operate if the power supply polarity is reversed.
When powering multiple detectors, the installer should ensure that the total power consumption should be less
than 120W, so it is possible to connect 5X detectors.
Figure 11: Multiple Detectors Powered by a Single Power Supply

VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis
36218_A2 12
Inputs
There are two inputs into the detector that can be used to reset and trigger a fault due to air purge fault. A
voltage input between 5V and 30V signals RESET ON/Air Purge Fault ON. Less than 2V signals RESET
OFF/Air Purge Fault OFF. The input is isolated from the system by an opto-coupler device.
RESET:
Air Purge Fault:
Relays
Relays on junction box are used to communicate Pre-Alarm, Alarm and Fault to the FACP. Fault relays are
energised during normal operation while Pre-Alarm and Alarm relay are energised only when Pre-Alarm and
Alarm conditions are met.
Pre-Alarm:
Alarm and Fault:

Remote LEDs
There is a provision to connect remote LEDs (if available) to the detector using the socket in junction box. The
wiring diagram is shown below:
Figure 12: Remote LEDs Connection to Detector Using Socket in Junction Box
SD Card Installation
The detector can use an optional micro-SD card to save alarm information. The maximum capacity supported
is 256 GB. Use only class A micro-SD cards (SanDisc, Samsung, etc.) and make sure the card is FAT 32
formatted. The data is stored first in-first out (FIFO). The card can save video-clips, pictures and an alarm log.
In the bottom part of the detector, there is a cover that provides access to the SD card slot.
When the cover is removed, you will notice the slot.
Figure 13: Remove Cover to Access SD Card Slot
To mount the Micro-SD Card, follow these steps:
1. Download Windows MiniTool Partition Wizard and install it on the PC,
2. Insert micro-SD card into the PC,
3. Open the MiniTool Partition Wizard,
4. Select Disk2,
5. Go to Partition and click Delete,

VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis
36218_A2 14
Figure 14: Delete Partition
6. Go to Partition again and select Create,
Figure 15: Create New Partition

7. Click Yes, Create New Partition window appears as shown below:
Figure 16: New Partition Details
8. Enter the partition label,
9. Select “EX4” as a file system,
10. Click Ok,
11. Click Apply at the left side bottom of the window, it takes a few minutes to complete the process,
Once the partition is created safely, remove the SD card from the PC and keep it in a safe place.
12. Use Torx T10 tool to open the bottom cover of the camera, once it is opened, the SD card slot is seen,
13. Insert the SD card in the camera slot as shown below:
Figure 17: Insert SD Card in Camera Slot
To check the proper insertion of the SD Card, follow the below steps:
1. Download Putty which is a free and open-source terminal emulator from the internet and install it on the
same PC where the VIS-IR Software Management (ViSM) tool is installed,
2. Open Putty,
3. Enter the Camera IP address and click Open,
4. Once Putty is active, insert the root command and press Enter,

VIS-IR Thermography Detector Product Guide Xtralis
36218_A2 16
5. Insert another command df -h and press Enter, it will be displayed as shown below above the Red line:
Figure 18: ViSM - Check Proper Insertion of SD Card
The above example shows that the SD Card is properly inserted and activated.
If it is not properly installed check and adjust the SD Card fitment in the slot.
Connecting to Computer
The FTD detectors require ViSM software for configuration and management of the detectors. Up to 8
detectors can be connected to a single instance of ViSM. Use a female Ethernet port in junction box for
connection. A gigabit switch can be used to connect multiple detectors to a single Ethernet port in the computer
workstation as shown below:
Figure 19: Connect Multiple Detectors to Single Ethernet Port
