Items Included in Kit

Caution!

Except as described in this guide, do not disassemble the FC-Series camera.
Damage to the camera can occur as the result of careless handling or
electrostatic discharge (ESD).

De-ice kits are available for FC-Series cameras with a 60 mm or a 75 mm lens.
Do not use these kits with any other camera or lens.

The de-ice kit improves the camera’s de-icing capability, which results in a slight
reduction in thermal sensor sensitivity. It should only be installed during the winter
and in places where it is cold enough for ice to likely accumulate.

Do not smudge or leave finger prints on the de-ice kit or on the camera lens.
Handle only the de-ice kit’s windowed ring, the factory-installed unwindowed ring
on the camera lens, and the O-ring at the bottom of the threaded inside rim of the
camera lens.

Step 1 Turn on the heaters using the camera’s web page:

a. Log in to the camera’s web page as expert or admin.

b. In the Maintenance menu, browse to Sensor > Devices >

Thermostat. The camera firmware version must be V2.03.P06 or
later. For information about upgrading the camera’s firmware, see
the FC-Series O/ID Installation Manual.

Step 2 Expose the lens threads: Using the

spanner wrench, carefully unscrew
the factory-installed unwindowed
ring on the camera lens (pictured) to
expose the threads on the outside
rim of the lens. This ring is coated
with O-ring lubricant. Make sure
lubricant does not get on the camera
lens.

Step 3 Install the de-ice kit:

a. Using the spanner wrench, thread the windowed ring onto the lens.

Be careful not to cross-thread or damage the threads on the outside
rim of the lens.

b. When the windowed ring contacts the O-ring and turning encounters

more resistance, continue tightening for an additional half turn. This
ensures the window makes direct contact with the lens metalwork.
Failing to fully tighten the ring onto the lens reduces the heating
performance of the de-ice kit.
