PT-Series HD Camera Installation
The PT-Series HD pan/tilt thermal security camera for medium- to long-range applications can be used
with traditional analog video installations or IP video networks. It incorporates a high-sensitivity thermal
camera with a choice of lenses and a long-range daylight camera all within a precision pan/tilt platform.
The PT-602CZ HD pairs a cooled mid-wave focal plane array (FPA) thermal detector with the daylight
camera.
This manual describes the installation of the PT-Series HD cameras. If help is needed during the
installation process, please refer to for support. All
installers and integrators are encouraged to take advantage of the training offered by FLIR; visit
for more information.
This manual includes the following topics:
• Installation overview
• Mounting the camera and its components
• Connecting the electronics
• Bench testing the camera
• Configuration and operation of the camera
• Camera specifications
For safety, and to achieve the highest levels of performance from the camera system, follow the
warnings and cautions in this manual when handling and operating the camera system.
If mounting the camera on a pole, tower or any elevated location, use industry standard safe
practices to avoid injuries.
Except as described in this manual, do not open the camera for any reason. Disassembly of the
camera (including removal of the cover) can cause permanent damage and will void the warranty.
Be careful not to leave fingerprints on the camera’s infrared optics.
The camera requires a power supply of 24 Volts nominal. Operating the camera outside of the
specified input voltage range or the specified operating temperature range can cause permanent
damage.

1.1 Camera Overview
The PT-Series HD camera is both an analog and an IP camera. The video from the camera can be
viewed over a traditional analog video network or it can be viewed by streaming it over an IP network
using MJPEG or H.264 encoding. Analog video will require a connection to a video monitor or an
analog matrix/switch. The IP video will require a connection to an Ethernet network switch and the
appropriate software for viewing the video stream.
1.2 Installation Overview
Remove before installing
Vent
Figure 1-1: PT-Series HD
The PT-Series HD camera is intended to be mounted outdoors on a medium-duty fixed pedestal
mount or wall mount commonly used in the CCTV industry. Cables will exit from the back of the
camera housing. The mount must support up to 45 lbs (20 KG). The camera can be controlled
through either serial or IP communications. The camera operates on 21 Vac to 30 Vac or 21 Vdc to
30 Vdc. In order to access the electrical connections and install the cables, it is necessary to
temporarily remove the back cover of the camera housing. Ensure the back cover is replaced in the
same orientation, with the two cable glands below the central pressure equalization vent.
1.2.1 Camera Connection Options
Camera connections are made through water-tight cable gland seals on the rear of the camera.
Refer to to ensure the glands are used correctly and the connections
are sealed.
Analog video will require at least one connection to a video monitor or an analog video matrix switch.
In most analog installations, two video connections will be used—one for the thermal camera video,
and one for the daylight camera video. The camera provides two BNC connectors for these analog
video channels.
An Ethernet connection is provided for IP video streaming and for command and control
communications using a web browser.
For analog installations that are not using Ethernet/IP, a serial cable (RS232 or RS422) can be
connected and used for command and control communications, supporting either Pelco D or Bosch
protocols. It is recommended an Ethernet cable should also be installed to allow easy remote access
for camera configuration, operation, and troubleshooting.

PT-Series HD Camera Installation
Network Security
The camera supports IEEE 802.1x authentication when connected to a network supporting the
following requirements:
• Network device (Authenticator) such as an Ethernet switch configured with 802.1x
• Authentication server supporting either TLS
Refer to for information on how to configure the LAN settings.
1.2.2 Serial Communications Overview
The installer must decide if the serial communications settings will be configured via hardware (DIP
switch settings) or software (default). If the camera has an Ethernet connection, then generally it is
easier (and more convenient) to make configuration settings via software. Then configuration
changes can be made over the network without physically accessing the camera. Also the settings
can be saved to a file and backed up or restored as needed.
If the camera is configured via hardware, then configuration changes in the future may require
accessing the camera on a tower or pole, dismounting it, and removing the back and so on. If the
camera does not have an Ethernet connection, the DIP switches must be used to set the serial
communication options.
1.2.3 Supplied Components
The PT-Series HD camera ships with these standard components:
• Multi-sensor pan/tilt camera unit
• Galvanic isolation kit (PN 4204960)
• Noise suppression ferrite
• Cable glands and spare parts kit
1.2.4 Required Components
The installer will need to supply the following items; the cable lengths are specific to the installation.
• 24 Vdc or 24 Vac power supply
Note
A single ferrite is supplied with this equipment, the equipment was tested for compliance with the
FCC limits for a Class A digital device using the ferrite installed on the system power cable. When
connecting one or two power cables to the equipment, the supplied ferrite must be installed with this
equipment. A power installation using metal conduit does not require installing the ferrite.
• Electrical cables, for system power and heater power; 3-conductors are required for system
power (one ground) and two conductors are required for heater power (no ground). The wire
gauge must be determined by cable length and supply voltage. A single 5-conductor, shielded
cable or two individual cables may be used. Refer to for additional
information.
• Camera grounding strap
• Coaxial RG59U video cables and a BNC adapter at the camera end for analog video
427-0075-01-12 Revision 140 October 2019 6

PT-Series HD Camera Installation
• Shielded CAT6 Ethernet cable for streaming video, control, and for software updates. CAT5e
Ethernet cable may be adequate in many installations except when closely installed with power
cables in demanding video streaming networks.
• Serial cable for serial communications—optional
• Miscellaneous electrical hardware, camera mount (with stainless steel washers and bolts),
connectors, and tools
1.3 Location Considerations
Install the camera in a location that will allow access for regular periodic cleaning (fresh water rinse),
inspection of mounting integrity and mechanical soundness, and preventative maintenance. Ensure
the camera and the camera mount are routinely inspected on a periodic basis.
The camera will require connections for power, communications (IP Ethernet, serial), and video
(analog, IP digital).
• Ensure the 360° pan and 180° tilt exclusion zone is
free of all obstructions.
Diameter 25.5 in
• Install all cameras with an easily accessible Ethernet
connection to support future software updates.
• Ensure that cable distances do not exceed the
specifications and that cables adhere to all local and
17.4 in
high
industry standards, codes, and best practices.
1.4 Bench Testing
Connect the power, video, serial, and Ethernet
connections and confirm that the video is displayed on a
monitor when the power is turned on. Confirm the camera
can be controlled by moving it (pan/tilt). For configuration
and basic setup information using the onboard web
server, refer to .
Maximum keep-out cylinder
1.5 Camera Mounting
Ensure that the camera base is electrically isolated and properly grounded when it is secured to its
mount. Contact between the stainless steel fasteners and any bare aluminum may cause galvanic
corrosion which will shorten the life of the installation and may void the camera warranty.
Galvanic isolation is critical in preventing corrosion. Proper installation of galvanic isolation pad and
washers is important for long product life.
There are two critical steps related to proper galvanic isolation camera mounting:
• Installation of galvanic isolation kit
• Proper grounding (bonding) to earth ground
1.5.1 Galvanic Isolation
The Galvanic Isolation Kit (FLIR PN 4204960) is for use with all PT-Series HD cameras. The
isolation plate and nylon shoulder or flat washers provide electrical isolation between the stainless

PT-Series HD Camera Installation
steel fasteners and the aluminum camera base, and electrically isolates the complete PT-Series HD
camera from the customer mount. Galvanic isolation is critical in preventing corrosion. Proper
installation of galvanic isolation pad and washers is important for long product life. Refer to
for specific instructions.
1.5.2 Earth Ground Connection
Earth ground connection is very
important to protect PT-series from
surge induced failures and corrosion
caused by stray current/ground loops.
Attach ground wire (16 AWG or larger)
to ground lug on access panel. Use the
large hex nut to secure ground wire to
stud on access panel. Ground stud is

1.6.2 Connecting power
The camera itself does not have an on/off switch. Generally a circuit breaker will be used to apply or
remove power to the camera. If power is supplied to it, the camera will be in one of two modes:
Booting Up or Powered On.
The power cables supplied by the installer must use wires that are sufficient size gauge (16 AWG
recommended) for the supply voltage and length of the cable run. Always follow local building codes!
To satisfy FCC requirements, the supplied noise suppression ferrite must be installed on the camera
system power cable unless power cables are enclosed in metal conduit. Refer to Figure 1-4.
Note that the heater power cable requires two-wire power. Do not connect to the power supply
ground.
Ensure the camera is properly grounded. Typical to good grounding practices, the camera chassis
ground should be provided using the lowest resistance path possible. FLIR requires using a
grounding strap anchored to the grounding lug on the back plate of the camera housing and
connected to the nearest earth-grounding point.
Note
The terminal blocks for power connections will accept a maximum 16 AWG wire size.

PT-Series HD Camera Installation
Lens Heaters
The lens heaters are intended to provide lens de-fogging and de-icing in the event of:
• A power interruption which disables the camera for an extended period, and
• Freezing rain which fully covers the lens and obstructs the image.
The PT-Series HD cameras are shipped from the factory with the lens heaters enabled. The lens
heaters are configured to dynamically maintain the camera window at a constant temperature.
The lens heaters may be turned on manually from the Live Video web page (De-Ice button). Refer to
. The heaters, when turned on manually, will run for approximately one
hour unless turned off either by the user (De-Ice button) or the thermostat control.
1.6.3 Video Connections
The analog video connections on the back of the camera are BNC connectors. The camera also
provides an RCA video connector that can be used to temporarily monitor the daylight camera
(DLTV) video output.
The video cables used should be rated as RG59U or better to ensure a quality video signal.
Note
Insert the cable through the cable glands on the enclosure before terminating and connecting them.
In general, the terminated connectors will not fit through the cable gland. If terminated, it is possible
to make a clean and singular cut in the gland seal to install the cable into the gland seal.
1.6.4 Ethernet Connection
The cable gland seal is designed for use with shielded Ethernet cable.
Note
Insert the cable through the cable glands on the enclosure before terminating and connecting them.
In general, the terminated connectors will not fit through the cable gland. If terminated, it is possible
to make a clean and singular cut in the gland seal to install the cable into the gland seal.
1.6.5 Serial Connection
For serial communications, it is necessary to set the parameters such as the signaling standard (RS232 or RS-422), baud rate, number of stop bits, parity and so on. It is also necessary to select the
communication protocol used (either Pelco D or Bosch) and the camera address. By default, the
serial interface uses Pelco D, RS-422 standard, 9600 baud rate, 8/1/none, and address 1.
Note
Typical Bosch systems operate using a biphase connection. FLIR cameras do not accept biphase
signals directly. It may be necessary to install a biphase converter in order to use the Bosch protocol.
Connect the wires of the serial cable as show in . When using the RS-422
standard, ensure the transmit pair of the camera goes to the receive pair of the other device, and
vice versa.
Note
The terminal blocks for serial connections will accept a maximum 20 AWG wire size.

PT-Series HD Camera Installation
Switch
Note
The serial communications parameters for the PT-Series HD camera are set or modified either via
hardware DIP switch settings or via software, through a web browser interface. A single DIP switch
(SW103-9), Software Override determines whether the configuration comes from the hardware DIP
switches or the software settings.
Note
The DIP switches are only used to control serial communications parameters. Other settings, related
to IP camera functions and so on, must be modified via software (using a web browser).
1.6.6 Serial Communications Settings - Hardware DIP Switches
The camera has two blocks of DIP switches that are used to configure the serial communications
settings. One block of switches has 8 switches and is used to set the serial address (or ID) of the
camera. The other block of switches has 10 switches and is used to set baud rate, hardware protocol
(RS-232 or RS-422), serial protocol (Pelco D or Bosch), and Software Override.
The figure below shows the locations of dip switches SW102 and SW103.
SW102 SW103
Position
Off
On
Figure 1-6: PT-Series HD Serial Communications Configuration
When the Software Override DIP switch is set to the Off position (as it is by default), all of the other
DIP switches will be ignored, and configuration changes must be made through software. If the
switch is set to the On position, all configuration settings related to serial communications are made
with the DIP switches, and changes that are made via software (with a web browser) will be ignored.
Serial Address: Use the block of switches on the left (SW102) to set the serial address of the
camera. The available range of values is from decimal 1 to 255. The dip switches are interpreted as
a binary number, with switch 1 representing the least significant bit (the switches are in the reverse
order of the bits). For convenience, a table of serial addresses and their binary equivalents is
included at the end of the manual. Refer to

1.6.7 Back Cover Gasket
When preparing to re-attach the back cover, make sure that the gasket rests securely in the groove
so that attaching the cover does not cut or otherwise damage the gasket. The picture below shows
the black gasket properly in place.
If possible, lay the camera down to install the gasket and cover. If doing so is not possible, before
installing the cover, apply a small amount of O-ring lubricant to the gasket to help hold it in place.
1.6.8 Cable Gland Sealing
Proper installation of cable sealing glands and use of appropriate elastomer inserts is critical to long
term reliability. Cables enter the camera mount enclosure through liquid-tight compression glands.
Be sure to insert the cables through the cable glands on the enclosure before terminating and
connecting them (the connectors will not fit through the cable gland). Leave the gland nuts loosened
until all cable installation has been completed. Inspect and install gland fittings in the back cover with
suitable leak sealant and tighten to ensure water tight fittings. Teflon tape or pipe sealant (for
example DuPont RectorSeal T™) are suitable for this purpose.
Cable Glands and Spare Parts Kit
The kit contains the two 3/4” cable glands and gland
seal plugs required for non-conduit installations.
The remaining parts included in the kit are:
• a spare ground wire
• a spare ground nut and lock washer
• two spare power terminal block plugs
