Safety information
WARNING
Applicability: FLIR A3xx pt & G300 pt.
Be careful when you touch the unit. Some parts can be sharp and cause injury.
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
Do not use the camera in temperatures more than +50°C (+122°F), unless other information is specified
in the user documentation or technical data. High temperatures can cause damage to the camera.
CAUTION
Do not apply solvents or equivalent liquids to the camera, the cables, or other items. Damage to the battery and injury to persons can occur.
CAUTION
Be careful when you clean the infrared lens. The lens has an anti-reflective coating which is easily damaged. Damage to the infrared lens can occur.
CAUTION
Do not use too much force to clean the infrared lens. This can cause damage to the anti-reflective
coating.
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.
NOTE
The encapsulation rating is only applicable when all the openings on the camera are sealed with their correct covers, hatches, or caps. This includes the compartments for data storage, batteries, and
connectors.
CAUTION
Applicability: Cameras where you can remove the lens and expose the infrared detector.
Do not use the pressurized air from the pneumatic air systems in a workshop when you remove dust from
the detector. The air contains oil mist to lubricate the pneumatic tools and the pressure is too high. Damage to the detector can occur.

7.1 Installation overview
Figure 7.1 FLIR A3xx pt series camera
The FLIR A3xx pt series camera is a multi-sensor camera system on a pan/tilt platform.
Combinations of an infrared thermal imaging camera and a visible-light video camera are
intended for outdoor installations.
The FLIR A3xx pt series camera is intended to be mounted 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 lb. (20 kg).
The FLIR A3xx pt series 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 MPEG-4, M-JPEG, and 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 a computer with the appropriate
software for viewing the video stream.
The camera can be controlled through either serial or IP communication.
The camera operates on 24 VAC (21–30 VAC; 24 VAC: 215 VA max. with heater) or 24
VDC (21–30 VDC; 24 VDC: 195 W max. with heater).
In order to access the electrical connections and install the cables, it is necessary to tem-
porarily remove the back cover of the camera housing.
7.2 Installation components
In addition to the items included in the cardboard box, the installer will need to supply the
following items:
• Electrical wire, for system power.
• Camera grounding strap.
• Coaxial RG59U video cables (BNC connector at the camera end) for analog video.
• Shielded Category 6 Ethernet cable for control and streaming video over an IP network;
and also for software upgrades.
• Optional serial cable for serial communication.
• Miscellaneous electrical hardware, connectors, and tools.
7.3 Location considerations
The camera will require connections for power, communications (IP Ethernet and/or RS232/RS-422), and video (two video connections may be required for analog video
installations).
NOTE
Install all cameras with an easily accessible Ethernet connection, to support future software upgrades.
Ensure that cable lengths do not exceed the referenced standard specifications, and also adhere to all lo-
cal and Industry standards, codes, and best practises.

7.4 Camera mounting
FLIR A3xx pt series cameras must be mounted upright on top of the mounting surface,
with the base below the camera. The unit should not be hung upside down.
The FLIR A3xx pt series camera can be secured to the mount with four 5/16″ or M8 bolts,
as shown below.
NOTE
Use washers to protect the painting.
Once the mounting location has been selected, verify that both sides of the mounting surface are accessible.

Installation
Figure 7.3 FLIR A3xx pt series camera mounting (mm)
Connect and operate the camera as a bench test at ground level prior to mounting the
camera in its final location.
Use a thread-locking compound such as Loctite 242 or an equivalent with all metal-to-metal threaded connections.
Using the template supplied with the camera as a guide, mark the location of the holes for
mounting the camera. If the template is printed, ensure that it is printed to scale so that the
dimensions are correct.
Once the holes are drilled in the mounting surface, install four (4) 5/16″ or M8 bolts
through the base of the camera.
7.5 Prior to cutting/drilling holes
When selecting a mounting location for the FLIR A3xx pt series camera, consider cable
lengths and cable routing. Ensure that the cables are long enough given the proposed
mounting locations and cable routing requirements.
Use cables that have sufficient dimensions to ensure safety (for power cables) and adequate signal strength (for video and communications).

The FLIR A3xx pt series camera comes with two ¾″ NPT cable glands, each with a threehole gland seal insert. Cables can be between 0.23″ and 0.29″ OD. Up to six cables may
be installed. Plugs are required for the insert hole(s) not being used.
Figure 7.5 ¾″ NPTcable gland.
If non-standard cable diameters are used, you may need to locate or fabricate the appropriate insert to fit the desired cable. FLIR Systems does not provide cable gland inserts
other than what is supplied with the system.
Insert the cables 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
a terminated cable is required, make a single clean cut in the gland seal to install the cable
into the gland seal.
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. PTFE tape or pipe sealant (e.g., DuPont RectorSeal T) is suitable for this purpose.

7.7 Removing the back cover
Use a cross-head screwdriver to loosen the four captive screws and remove the cover, exposing the connections at the back of the camera. There is a grounding wire connected
between the case and the back cover.

NOTE
• Be careful that gaskets are not pinched when mounting the back cover.
• Do not wipe off the grease from the gaskets when mounting the back cover. The grease is critical to
the tightness of the housing.
7.8 Connecting power
Power requirements:
24 VAC (21–30 VAC; 24 VAC: 215 VA max. with heater) or 24 VDC (21–30 VDC; 24 VDC:
195 W max. with heater).
The camera itself does not have an on/off switch. Generally, the FLIR A3xx pt series cam-
era will be connected to a circuit breaker, and the circuit breaker will be used to connect or
interrupt the power supply 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 cable supplied by the installer must use wires that are of a sufficient gauge size
(16 AWG is recommended) for the supply voltage and length of the cable run, to ensure
adequate current-carrying capacity. Always follow local building codes.
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 Systems 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.

Installation
NOTE
The terminal blocks for power connections will accept a maximum 16 AWG wire size.
7.9 Video connections
The analog video connections on the back of the camera are BNC connectors.
The video cable used should be rated as RG59U or better to ensure a quality video signal.
7.10 Ethernet connection
The cable gland seal is designed for use with shielded Category 6 Ethernet cable.
7.11 Serial communications overview
The installer must first decide if the serial communications settings will be configured via
hardware (DIP switch settings) or software. If the camera has an Ethernet connection, then
generally it will be easier (and more convenient in the long run) 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, 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.
NOTE
• The serial communications parameters for the FLIR A3xx pt series camera are set or modified either
via hardware DIP switch settings or via software, through a web browser interface. A single DIP switch
(SW102-9, software override) determines whether the configuration comes from the hardware DIP
switches or the software settings.
• 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).
7.12 Serial connections
For serial communications, it is necessary to set the parameters such as the signalling
standard (RS-232 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.
The camera supports RS-422 and RS-232 serial communications using common protocols (Pelco D, Bosch).
NOTE
The terminal blocks for serial connections will accept a maximum 20 AWG wire size.

Verifying camera operation
Prior to installing the camera, use a bench test to verify camera operation and to configure
the camera for the local network. The camera provides analog video, and can be controlled through either serial or IP communications providing streaming video over an IP
network.
8.1 Power and analog video
Follow this procedure:
1. Connect the power, video, and serial cables to the camera.
2. Connect the video cable from the camera to a display/monitor, and connect the power
cable to a power supply. The camera operates on 24 VAC (21–30 VAC; 24 VAC: 215
VA max. with heater) or 24 VDC (21–30 VDC; 24 VDC: 195 W max. with heater). Verify
that video is displayed on the monitor.
3. Connect the serial cable from the camera to a serial device such as a keyboard, and
confirm that the camera is responding to serial commands. Before using serial communications, it may be necessary to configure the serial device interface to operate with
the camera. When the camera is turned on, the video temporarily displays system information including the serial number, IP address, Pelco address, Baud rate, and setting of the serial control DIP switch: SW (software control—the default) or HW
(hardware).
