Safety information
2
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.

Introduction
6
The new FLIR G300 pt is a ground-breaking optical gas imaging system capable of con­tinuously monitoring vast areas for greenhouse gas emissions or volatile organic com­pounds (VOCs). The system is also perfect for monitoring a pinpointed area over a long period of time, making around-the-clock monitoring possible.
The precision pan/tilt mechanism gives the operator accurate pointing control, and the environmental housing is built to withstand tough weather conditions. The FLIR G300 pt can pan ±360° continuously and tilt ±45°. It is ideal for covering large areas. The FLIR G300 pt is a multi-sensor system and includes a gas-imaging camera (FLIR G300 a) that visualizes greenhouse gas emissions or VOCs as well as a low-light 36× zoom color CCD camera.
Key features:
• Visualizes gas leaks in real time.
• Scans vast or pinpointed areas continuously.
• Remote control.
• Precise pan/tilt camera.
• Inspects without interruption.
• Traces leaks to their source.
• IP66 protection.
The FLIR G300 pt 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

Follow this procedure:
1. Connect the power and video cables to the camera.
WARNING
Do not go near the unit when it is powered. The unit can move suddenly and cause injury.
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: 200 W max. with heater). Verify that video output is displayed on the monitor.
3. As shipped from the factory, the FLIR G300 pt series camera has an IP address of
192.168.250.116 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. Configure a computer with anoth­er IP address from this network (e.g., 192.168.250.xxx).
4. Connect the camera and the computer to the same Ethernet switch (or back to back
with an Ethernet crossover cable). In some cases, a straight Ethernet cable can be used because many computers have an auto-detect Ethernet interface.
5. Open a web browser, enter 192.168.250.116 in the address bar, and press Enter.
This displays a login screen.
6. Log in using the user name admin and the password fliradmin.
7. Under LAN Settings, you can change the IP communications parameters.

The FLIR G300 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 G300 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: 200 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.
9.2 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.
9.3 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 local and Industry standards, codes, and best practises.

9.4 Camera mounting
FLIR G300 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 G300 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.

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-to­metal 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.

9.5 Prior to cutting/drilling holes
When selecting a mounting location for the FLIR G300 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 G300 pt series camera comes with two ¾″ NPT cable glands, each with a three-hole 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 9.5 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 liquid­tight 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.
9.7 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.
9.8 Connecting power
Power requirements: 24 VAC (21-30 VAC; 24 VAC: 215 VA max. with heater) or 24 VDC (21-30 VDC; 24 VDC:
200 W max. with heater). The camera itself does not have an on/off switch. Generally, the FLIR G300 pt series
camera 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.
Note The terminal blocks for power connections will accept a maximum 16 AWG wire size.

9.9 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.
9.10 Ethernet connection
The cable gland seal is designed for use with shielded Category 6 Ethernet cable.
9.11 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 G300 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).
9.12 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.

Prior to installing the camera, use a bench test to verify camera operation and to config­ure the camera for the local network. The camera can be controlled through either serial or IP communications.
10.1 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: 200 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).
