Safety information
CAUTION
Do not point the infrared camera (with or without the lens cover) at strong energy sources, for example,
devices that cause laser radiation, or the sun. This can have an unwanted effect on the accuracy of the
camera. It can also cause damage to the detector in the camera.
CAUTION
Applicability: Cameras with an automatic shutter that can be disabled.
Do not disable the automatic shutter in the camera for a long time period (a maximum of 30 minutes is
typical). If you disable the shutter for a longer time period, damage to the detector can occur.

Notice to user
3.1Calibration
We recommend that you send in the camera for calibration once a year. Contact your local sales office for instructions on where to send the camera.
3.2Accuracy
For very accurate results, we recommend that you wait 5 minutes after you have started
the camera before measuring a temperature.
3.3Disposal of electronic waste
Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) contains materials, components and substances that may be hazardous and present a risk to human health and the environment
when waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is not handled correctly.
Equipment marked with the below crossed-out wheeled bin is electrical and electronic
equipment. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates that waste electrical and electronic equipment should not be discarded together with unseparated household waste,
but must be collected separately.
For this purpose all local authorities have established collection schemes under which
residents can dispose waste electrical and electronic equipment at a recycling centre or
other collection points, or WEEE will be collected directly from households. More detailed information is available from the technical administration of the relevant local
authority.

What is FLIR A310 ex?
Explosive atmospheres need to be protected from ignition sources by selecting equipment and protective systems that meet the requirements of the ATEX product directives
and similar regulations.
The FLIR A310 ex is an ATEX-proof solution, with a thermal imaging camera mounted in
an enclosure, making it possible to monitor critical and other valuable assets in explosive
atmospheres. Process monitoring, quality control, and fire detection in potentially explosive locations are typical applications for the FLIR A310 ex.
Key features:
• Thermography monitoring and early fire detection in explosion hazard areas.
• Enclosures for infrared cameras in classification zones 1, 2, 21, and 22.
• ATEX certified to the latest standards.
• Rated to protection class IP67.
• Plug and play installation, with the enclosure delivered ready for use.

Typical system setup procedure
1. Unpack the camera unit from the cardboard box.
2. Install the camera unit at the intended location. It is the responsibility of the installer
to meet all applicable safety standards required by the authorities of the region in
which the unit will be operating in.
3. Connect the camera unit to an external power supply.
The color coding of the pigtail cable is:
• Brown: positive +.
• Blue: negative –.
• Green/yellow: earth.
Note The external power supply must not be inside the classified zone.
4. Connect the camera unit to an optical-to-Ethernet converter.
Note The optical-to-Ethernet converter must not be inside the classified zone.
5. Install the Thermovision System Tools & Utilities CD-ROM on a computer connected
to the network. This will install the following software:
• FLIR IP Config.
• FLIR IR Monitor.
• FLIR IR Camera Player.
6. Start FLIR IP Config to identify the unit in the network and automatically assign or
manually set IP addresses, etc. For more information, see the FLIR IP Config manual
on the User Documentation CD-ROM or on the Help menu in FLIR IP Config.
7. Start FLIR IR Monitor to control the camera, e.g., laying out measurement tools and
setting up alarms. For more information, see the FLIR IR Monitor manual on the User
Documentation CD-ROM or on the Help menu in FLIR IR Monitor.

Introduction
The FLIR A310 ex is an ATEX-proof solution, with a thermal imaging camera mounted in
an enclosure—making it possible to monitor critical and other valuable assets in explosive atmospheres. Process monitoring, quality control, and fire detection in potentially
explosive locations are typical applications for the FLIR A310 ex.
• Thermographic monitoring and early fire detection in an explosion–hazard area.
• Enclosures for infrared cameras in Ex zones 1, 2, 21, 22.
• ATEX certified.
• Protection class IP67.
• Plug-and-play installation with the enclosure delivered ready for use.
• Available with additional options.
The certification covers the entire system, which includes the enclosure as well as all
components inside of it, such as the infrared camera, heater, and integrated controller.
This means that no additional certification is required for operation.
The integrated controller is equipped with two fiber optic and two Ethernet ports. This enables a flexible network integration in star ring topologies.
In addition, the integrated controller features several digital I/O channels and sensors for
temperature, humidity, and pressure. Among other functions, the I/O channels enable
the user to switch on/off the camera and the heater via remote control. Access is through
an integrated web interface or Modbus TCP/IP.
