Safety information
WARNING
Make sure that you read all applicable MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) and warning labels on containers before you use a liquid. The liquids can be dangerous. Injury to persons can occur.
WARNING
For equipment with plugs:
Make sure that you install the socket-outlet near the equipment and that it is easy to get access to.
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.

Important note about training and
applications
5.1 General
Infrared inspection of gas leaks, furnaces, and high-temperature applications—including
infrared image and other data acquisition, analysis, diagnosis, prognosis, and reporting—
is a highly advanced skill. It requires professional knowledge of thermography and its applications, and is, in some countries, subject to certification and legislation.
Consequently, we strongly recommend that you seek the necessary training before carrying out inspections. Please visit the following site for more information:

Introduction
The new FLIR G300 a is an optical gas camera unit that can be integrated in housings with
application specific requirements. The FLIR G300 a visualizes greenhouse gas emissions
or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). When integrated in a fixed housing, the system is
perfect for monitoring a pinpointed area over a long period of time, making automatic
around-the-clock monitoring possible.
Key features:
• Can be integrated in application-specific housings.
• Visualizes gas leaks in real time.
• Remote control.
• Inspects without interruption.
• Traces leaks to their source.
The FLIR G300 a detects the following gases:
• 1-pentene
• benzene
• butane
• ethane
• ethanol
• ethylbenzene
• ethylene
• heptane
• hexane
• isoprene
• m-xylene
• methane
• methanol
• methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)
• methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK)
• octane
• pentane
• propane
• propylene.
• toluene

Quick start guide
Follow this procedure:
1. Connect the power, video, and Ethernet 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 (10–28 V DC). Verify that video output is displayed on the
monitor.
3. Connect the camera to the network using the Ethernet cable.
4. Use FLIR Tools to set up and control the camera. For more information, see section
8.1 Download FLIR Tools, page 9.

Mechanical installation
9.1 Mounting interfaces
The housing has a mounting interface in the bottom with the following threaded holes.
• 8 × M4 metric threaded holes
• 1 × UNC ¼″-20 standard tripod mount.
There are also holes for positioning, see section 14 Mechanical drawings for more
information.
9.2 Notes on permanent mounting
If the camera unit is to be permanently mounted at the application site, certain steps are
required.
The camera unit needs to be enclosed in a protective housing and, depending on the ambient conditions (e.g., temperature), the housing may need to be cooled or heated by
means of water or air. The distance between the camera unit and the back panel needs to
be large enough to achieve sufficient cooling.
In very dusty conditions the installation might also require a stream of pressurized air directed at the lens, to prevent dust build-up.
9.3 Vibrations
When mounting the camera unit in harsh industrial environments, every precaution should
be taken when securing the unit.
If the environment exposes the unit to severe vibrations, there may be a need to secure
the mounting screws by means of Loctite or another industrial brand of thread-locking
liquid, as well as to dampen the vibrations by mounting the camera unit on a specially designed base.
9.4 Further information
For further information on mounting recommendations and environmental enclosures,
contact FLIR Systems.

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 IP communications.
11.1 Power and analog video
Follow this procedure:
1. Connect the power, video, Ethernet, and USB.
2. Connect the video cable from the camera to a display/monitor, and connect the power
cable to a power supply.
11.2 IP Communication
It is assumed that a FLIR G300 a system will be set up on an existing network and assigned an IP address from the DHCP server. The MAC address can be found on a label
on the bottom side of the camera.
To detect the camera system on the network, use either FLIR IR Camera Player or FLIR IP
Config. You can download these programs from the following links.

Network troubleshooting
Try one of the following if you experience network problems:
• Reset the modem and unplug and replug the Ethernet cable at both ends.
• Reboot the computer with the cables connected.
• Swap your Ethernet cable with another cable that is either brand new or known to be in
working condition.
• Connect your Ethernet cable to a different wall socket. If you are still not able to get online, you are probably experiencing a configuration issue.
• Verify your IP address.
• Disable Network Bridging.
• Disable your Wi-Fi connectivity (if you use it) to ensure that the wired Ethernet port is
open.
• Renew the DHCP license.
• Make sure that the firewall is turned off when you troubleshoot.
• Make sure that your wireless adapter is switched off. If not, the search for the camera
might only look for a wireless connection.
• Normally a modern computer will handle both crossed and uncrossed cable types automatically, but for troubleshooting purposes try both or use a switch.
• Turn off any network adapters that are not connected to the camera.
• For troubleshooting purposes, power both the camera and the computer using a mains
adapter. Some laptops turn off the network card to save power when using the battery.
If none of these steps help you, contact your ISP.

13.4 FLIR G300 a 14.5° fixed lens
P/N: 71502-0101
Rev.: 35207
General description
The FLIR G300 a is a bare infrared camera unit for optical gas imaging (OGI) that visualizes and pinpoints
leaks of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), without the need to shut down the operation. The FLIR
G300 a is used in industrial settings such as oil refineries, natural gas processing plants, offshore platforms, chemical/petrochemical industries, and biogas and power generation plants.
The camera unit is delivered as a bare unit, and is intended for integration in OEM systems.
Benefits
• Improved efficiency: The FLIR G300 a reduces revenue loss by pinpointing even small gas leaks
quickly and efficiently, and from a distance. It also reduces the inspection time by allowing a broad
area to be scanned rapidly and without the need to interrupt the industrial process.
• Increased worker safety: OGI allows gas leaks to be detected in a non-contact mode and from a safe
distance. This reduces the risk of the user being exposed to invisible and potentially harmful or explosive chemicals. With a FLIR G300 a gas imaging camera unit it is easy to scan areas of interest that
are difficult to reach with conventional methods.
• Protecting the environment: Several VOCs are dangerous to human health or cause harm to the environment, and are usually governed by regulations. Even small leaks can be detected and documented
using the FLIR G300 a.
Detects the following gases: benzene, ethanol, ethylbenzene, heptane, hexane, isoprene, methanol,
methyl ethyl ketone, MIBK, octane, pentane, 1-pentene, toluene, m-xylene, ethane, butane, methane,
propane, ethylene, propylene.
