FC-Series S Camera Installation
1.3Installation Overview
The FC-Series S Camera is an infrared thermal imaging camera intended for outdoor security
applications, and can be installed in a fixed location or on a pan/tilt mechanism.The FC-Series S
camera is intended to be mounted on a medium-duty fixed pedestal mount or wall mount commonly
used in the security industry. The camera mount must support up to 5 lbs (2.3 kg).
Cables may exit from the back of the
camera housing through the
supplied cable gland or from the bottom of the camera housing when
using the concealed cable wall mount (sold separately). A cable gland
plug is supplied for the rear of the camera housing when cables are
routed using the concealed cable wall mount.
1.3.1Camera Connection Options
The FC-Series S Camera can be installed with an analog or digit
al (IP) video output (or both). Analog
video will require a connection to a video monitor or an analog video matrix switch. The camera can
be powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE) or with a conventional 24 V (AC or DC) power supply.
For a PoE connection, an accessory PoE power supply (PN 4132391, also called a PoE injector) is
available if the camera is not connected to a PoE switch. The maximum Ethernet cable run is 100
meters including the PoE power supply.
In installations using PoE power and IP video, only a
single Ethernet cable from the camera is
required. Optionally, an RG59U coaxial cable can also be used for analog video.
In installations using analog video and conventional
power (24VAC is commonly used in many
installations), an RG59U coaxial cable and a three-conductor power cable are installed. It is
recommended an Ethernet cable should also be installed for camera configuration, operation and
troubleshooting. The FC-Series camera does not support serial communications.
1.3.2Camera Accessories
The following accessories are available for purchase from FLIR Systems, Inc.
•PoE power supply (PN 4132391) - For powering a single FC-Series S camera using PoE. In
addition
to PoE power and communications, the power supply provides surge protection. It
complies with IEEE 802.3at and is backward compatible with the IEEE802.3af PoE standard.
•Concealed Cable Wall Mount (PN 4129742) - Includes
adjusting the ball joint controlling the camera’s view angle.
The FC-Series S camera is attached to the mounting
mounting holes. A cable gland plug is supplied with the camera for the rear of the camera housing
when cables are routed using the concealed cable accessory. Refer to section 1.4.4 “Camera

1.4.5Sunshield
The camera includes a sunshield which should be u
sed for any installation where the camera is
exposed to direct sunlight or precipitation, If the camera is mounted with the top mounting holes, the
sunshield is not used. Depending on the needs of the installation, the sunshield can be positioned in
the neutral (middle) position, or slightly forward or rearward.To change the position of the sunshield,
temporarily loosen the three 3 mm hex screws on top, slide the sunshield forward or backward, and
retighten the screws.
1.5Removing the Cover
In order to access the electrical
connections and install the cables, it is
necessary to temporarily remove the top
cover of the camera housing. The top
cover of the camera is held in place with
four 3 mm hex screws. The screws are
accessible through slots in the sunshield,
so the sunshield does not need to be
removed from the top cover.
Use a 3 mm hex key to loosen the four
e screws, exposing the connections
captiv
inside the camera enclosure. There is a
grounding wire connected inside the case
to the top cover, as shown. If it (or any of
the grounding wires) is temporarily
disconnected during the installation, it
must be reconnected to ensure proper
grounding of the camera.
Caution!
When replacing the cover, ensure that the ground wire between the cover and the camera body is
completely inside the o-ring groove. If the wire is pinched between the cover and body the camera
is not sealed against water ingress and can be damaged.
Replace the cover and tighten the four 3 m

1.6.1Analog Video Connections
The primary analog video connection of the camera is a BNC connector. Alternatively, the camera
also pr
ovides an RCA analog video connector. Only one or the other connection should be used on a
permanent basis to ensure adequate video quality. The RCA connection allows the installer to
temporarily monitor the video output, without disconnecting the primary connection.
The video cable used should be rated as RG-59/U or better to ensure a quality video signal.
Note
Insert the cables through the cable glands on the enclosure before terminating and connecting them.
In general, terminated connectors will not fit through the cable gland. If a terminated cable is required,
it is possible to make a clean and singular cut in the gland seal to install the cable into the gland seal.

es that are sufficient size gauge for the supply
voltage and length of the cable run, to ensure adequate current carrying capacity (18 AWG
recommended for most installations). Always follow local building/safety codes.
Note
The terminal connector for power connections will accept 16 AWG to 24 AWG wire size.
The power connector plug may be removed for cable inst
allation. After the plug is reattached to the
board, retighten the screw terminals.
The camera itself does not have an on/off switch. Generally the FC-Series S camera may be
conne
cted to a circuit breaker and the circuit breaker will be used to apply or remove power to the
camera. If power is supplied to it, the camera will be powered on and operating.
1.6.4Connecting Heater Jumper
The heater selector jumper is used to either enable or
able the heater. The FC-Series S camera is shipped
dis
from the factory with a jumper installed between pin 1 and
pin 2, which enables the heater. To disable the heater,
move the heater selector jumper to pins 2 and 3.

1.6.5Camera Grounding
Ensure the camera is properly gr
ounded. Failure to
properly ground the camera can lead to permanent
age to the camera. Typical to good grounding
dam
practices, the camera chassis ground should be
connected to the lowest resistance path possible.
The camera has an external ground connection on
the outside back of the camera. FLIR requires a
grounding strap anchored to the grounding lug and
connected to the nearest earth-grounding point.
If, during installation, any ground connections
ide the camera are disconnected, they should
ins
be reconnected prior to closing the camera.
1.7Rear Access Cable Gland Sealing
Proper installation of cable sealing gland and use of appropriate elastomer inserts is critical to long
term reliability. Cables enter the rear of the camera mount enclosure through a liquid-tight
compression gland.

tighten the cable gland seal nut to ensure a watertight seal and provide strain relief for cables.
1.7.1Cable Gland Seal Inserts
lation has been completed, and ensure the
The FC-Series S camera comes with a single 3/4” NPT
cable gland installed in the camera, with a
four-hole gland seal insert. The gland includes a sealing washer and is secured to the camera with a
nut on the inside of the enclosure. The gland insert has one hole for the RG-59/U analog video cable
(the larger hole) and three more for a power cable, Ethernet cable, and an accessory cable (not used
at this time).
Any of the holes which are not used for cables (for example, the hole
or the accessory cable) should be filled with one of the orange hole
f
plugs (supplied with the camera). Install the cables through the
cable gland so that the cables line up with the connections inside
the camera.
Note
Insert the cables through the cable glands on the enclosure before terminating and connecting them.
In general, terminated connectors will not fit through the cable gland. If a terminated cable is required,
it is possible to make a clean and singular cut in the gland seal to install the cable into the gland seal.
