ComNav V5 Installation & Operation Introduction

System Introduction

V5 Camera System

The V5 camera is integrated with a high quality thermal imager and a lowlight camera, both designed for marine applications.

Unlike conventional cameras, Thermal Imaging cameras sense heat in the form of IR (Infra Red) radiation given off by objects rather than amplifying ambient light.

The thermal imager engine inside the V5 is so sensitive that it can detect temperature differences as low as 40mK. Cold objects such as ice emits thermal energy in the long wave infrared spectrum sensed by the camera. Thermal Imaging cameras process radiated, rather than reflected energy. Therefore, no source of illumination is required.

The low light module works in extremely low illuminated areas and will adjust the picture to accommodate for such occasions. The image will turn from colour to black and white in extreme low light condition to enhance projected image.

A standard V5 camera system comes with a keypad controller. Multiple cameras and multiple controllers may be connected in one system (up to 4 each) by using a splitter switch accessory box (see page 53 for ordering information).

Pan-Tilt-Zoom Control

Figure 1 – Various Camera Systems Setup

The pan system can rotate the camera 360° continuously. The maximum rate of pan turn is 40°/s.

The tilt system can rotate between -90° to +90° vertically. The maximum rate of tilt turn is 20°/s

Document PN 29010098 V1.0 - 13 -

Page 16

ComNav V5 Installation & Operation Introduction

Video Signal

There are two (2) 75 Ohm, Coax cable for video signal outputs:

• VBS Video Signal – compound video signal combining thermal imager and low light image into one output. This output incorporates On Screen Display (OSD) feedback as well.

• IR Video Signal – provides thermal imager video only with no OSD support

Gyro Stabilization

The integrated gyro stabilizer assists in countering the effect of the waves on the camera’s generated image. It allows the camera to look at the same location even when the boat is swaying due to waves. The static accuracy of the gyro is less than 0.50 and its dynamic accuracy is less than 20.

Gyro function can be enabled or disabled through the menu using the Joystick/Keypad box.

Note: Manual Tilt control is disabled while

Gyro stabilization is engaged

Compass Integration

The camera system accepts NMEA0183 and NMEA2000 format compass data input. Data is overlaid on the screen, to show the vessel’s heading over the display. Users can select the protocol type through the menu selectable option (see further details in the Joystick section, page 27 ).

Please see Appendix 3 for NMEA2000 network setup and connection examples.

Note: Note the camera is a pure listener in the

NMEA 2000 network. It does not claim an

NMEA 2000 network address, and does not

send out any messages.

Joystick/Keypad Controller

The Joystick/Keypad acts as the control unit of the V5 camera system. It allows full access and control of all the camera’s features and menu setup.

The controller is connected to the camera unit through a single Ethernet type cable. This cable also provides the power to the controller.

Installation

Please refer to the Warranty Information section of this manual before proceeding with installation of the V5 Camera.

Tools Required

General-purpose tools such as a portable drill, pliers, wire cutters, screwdrivers, wire, mounting bolts and wrenches may be required, as well as an accurate voltmeter or multi-meter.

Extreme caution is advised when using tools powered by Mains supply circuit (AC), regardless of whether those circuits are rated for “indoor”, “outdoor”, “marine” or “industrial” use. Water, especially sea water, is an excellent conductor of electricity. If AC tools are used, they must be plugged into a circuit that is adequately protected against Ground Faults and other safety hazards, and in accordance with local and national electric codes. Failure to comply may result is severe injury or death.

Hazard warning

Note: Battery powered tools are STRONGLY recommended

Power Supply

For a reliable operation of your V5 Camera System, your vessel’s power supply system must have an adequate breaker circuit, or fused DC (direct current) power supply at a voltage of 12VDC-24VDC. A power on/off switch is recommended.

Ensure that adequate wire size is used to handle the expected maximum currents.

Note: It is strongly recommended that the camera’s power

wiring be run directly from the power supply – especially for 12 Volt systems.

Environmental Considerations

Ensure that the Camera system Operating & Storage Temperature is within the acceptable range (see Specifications, Mechanical, page 51-52).

The camera components are waterproof – but they are not

Joystick/Keypad Unit

Note: Please take care when choosing the location of mounting

the Joystick controller. Refer to the last page of the manual for a Joystick Mounting Template. You may tear this page out to use for marking the mounting position and drill holes for the camera joystick controller.

Splitter Switch for Multiple Camera system

Splitter Switch allows for multiple camera systems setup. It enables connecting multiple cameras to one controller or connecting one camera to multiple controllers.

The switch supports Pelco-D protocol, using RS422 full duplex interface. The maximum recommended distance for reliable communication is 1200m (when used with

0.5mm twist pair). All communication interfaces are protected for short-circuit and over current and are designed to

recover automatically once source of short or over current is removed. The splitter possesses similar functionality to a router in order to realize communication

distributaries. Thus, having the ability to connect 4 cameras and 4 controllers (allows 4 to 4 mode).

Document PN 29010098 V1.0 - 22 -

Page 25

ComNav V5 Installation & Operation

RJ45 connectors designated J1 to J4 connect to the Joystick keyboard. J5 to J8 connect to the camera.

Installation Diagram

The switch is the only accessory approved for communication distribution. In a setup where only one camera is connected, the switch is not necessary. In other installation setup where multiple controllers and/or multiple cameras are connected, a switch must be used.

The switch gets its power supply through J8. Make sure that a camera is connected to J8 when the switch is used regardless of how many cameras are connected.

Comnav Box

Networking / Satellite Base Network

The camera system can be connected to a local network and obtain its own IP address via an external module – Comnav Network box Interface.

Adding the network box allows the user to view the camera image on any screen connected to the same network, and allows users on the network to control the camera, if desired, via the computer.

The system can be connected to a remote network location via a satellite network system such as Inmarsat. Connection via this setup allows users to view and control the camera from any location in the world without being in the vicinity of the camera. ComNav Marine Ltd. tests showed negligible latency.

When a computer is present at the network, a user interface loaded onto the computer allows the control of basic camera functions via a GUI. Functions are limited, for now, to pan, tilt, and zoom movements of the camera. Future releases may allow full feature control from any computer or MFD connected on the same network. Call your local ComNav dealer for update information.

Care & Maintenance

The V5 Camera System has been designed to provide many years of reliable service. The following care and maintenance tips will help to ensure the longevity of the equipment.

Protection of Wires and Cabling

After installation, ensure that the system’s components are securely mounted and will not shake loose with the vibrations that are expected in a marine vessel.

Ensure that the cables to the equipment are well secured with clamps and/or alternative fasteners.

Many potential problems can be avoided by ensuring that cables and wiring do not cause any connectors strain.

Periodic Checks

After the first six months of operation, a thorough examination of the entire Camera system MUST BE UNDERTAKEN. Verify that all electrical connections, cables, clamps, mounting brackets, and mechanical connections are secure.

An annual inspection should be undertaken thereafter.

General Precautions

A few precautions will keep the unit in prime condition:

• The Camera and control enclosures do not require any special maintenance. An occasional cleaning is suggested; use a damp cloth and mild soap.

Note: Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemicals. Improper

Care can cause damage to the lens cover coating, degrade the camera’s performance and may void the warranty.

• Avoid exposing the enclosure to solvents, acids, and bases – some of these may weaken the plastic.

• The Camera and control enclosures are designed to be weatherproof and splash resistant, Do not immersed in water.

• Avoid environments exceeding a temperature of 85°C or below -40°C.

Repair

There are no user serviceable parts inside the Camera or controller enclosures. Should the unit become damaged in any way, Contact an authorized ComNav dealer.

Fuse Replacement

There are no fuses used inside the camera or controller unit. However, it is strongly recommended that a fuse (or circuit breaker) be used when installing the equipment.

Note: If the fuse/breaker blows, determine the cause before

replacing or resetting

Cleaning

Clean the camera window only with low-pressure fresh water and a soft cloth. For water spots, wipe the lens cover with a clean, fresh water dampened lens cloth.

Common Problems and Correct Actions

No display on the screen

1. Check the power line is correctly connected and the power supply is on

2. Check the video signal line is properly connected

3. Check if the Pan-tilt system is in Standby mode. In Standby Mode, there is no video output (see the

description of Power button). To verify if the Pan-tilt system in under Standby mode, use the Joystick to pan or tilt the camera. In

Standby mode, the camera position cannot be controlled by the Joystick. Therefore, if the camera moves, the system is NOT in Standby mode

If all cables are well connected, and the system in normal operation mode, internal circuits may be damaged.

Images on the display flash in and out

Check if the video signal line is firmly connected. Make sure the camera system is out of the path of strong electromagnetic fields, such as near a radar

system

Images are not clear when using maximum zoom

Check if you have turned on electronic zoom Check if objects are too close to the camera for a good focus

Images are shaking under maximum zoom

Check if the system is firmly mounted. Make sure there is no vibration source close to the mounting base.

Thermal image has high spot noises

ICE value may be too high. Reduce ICE Strength from <ICE> menu Perform thermal core calibration through Do Calibration in <Field Calibrate> menu to reduce the

background noise If the environment temperature is high, set Period Set in <Field Calibration> menu to 30 min or less so

that the camera will automatically calibrate itself.

Low Light Camera has high noises

Sharpness Level may be too high. Reduce the value in <Set Camera> menu. This value is set to 10 out of factory.

Cannot switch between the low light camera and the IR camera

First make sure the video cables are well connected. If you cannot switch cameras through the IR/CAM button, try to switch the video sources through the

menu. If you can switch the cameras through the menu, the IR/CAM button may be broken.
