2 Handling Precautions and Camera Care
2 Handling Precautions and Camera Care
Warning! Do not open the camera housing. Doing so voids the
Hardware Warranty described in the Terms and Conditions on
our website.
Your FLIR digital camera is a precisely manufactured device and should be handled with care. Here are some tips
on how to care for the device.
n Avoid electrostatic charging.
n When handling the camera unit, avoid touching the lenses. Fingerprints will affect the quality of the image
produced by the device.
n To clean the lenses, use a standard camera lens cleaning kit or a clean dry cotton cloth. Do not apply
excessive force.
n Extended exposure to bright sunlight, rain, dusty environments, etc. may cause problems with the
electronics and the optics of the system.
n Avoid excessive shaking, dropping or any kind of mishandling of the device.

3.2 Installing Your Interface Card and Software
1. Install your Interface Card
Ensure the card is installed per the manufacturer's instructions.
Connect the internal IDE or SATApower connector on the card to the computer power
supply.
Alternatively, use your PC's built-in host controller, if equipped.
Open the Windows Device Manager. Ensure the card is properly installed. Ethernet cards appear under Network
Adapters. An exclamation point (!) next to the card indicates the driver has not yet been installed.
2. Install the Spinnaker® Software
Note: For existing users who already have Spinnaker installed,
we recommend ensuring you have the latest version for optimal
performance of your camera. If you do not need to install
Spinnaker, use SpinView to install and enable drivers for your
card.

3.3 Installing Your Oryx
1. Attach a Lens
Unscrew the dust cap from the lens holder to install a lens.
2. Connect the interface Card and Cable to the Camera
Plug the interface cable into the host controller card and the camera. The cable jack
screws can be used for a secure connection.
When the camera is first connected, the operating system automatically installs the camera driver. Camera
drivers are available with the Spinnaker SDK installation.
3. Plug in the GPIO connector
GPIOis used for power, trigger, and strobe.
4. Configure IPSettings
By default, a dynamic IPaddress is assigned to the camera according to the DHCP protocol. If DHCP addressing
fails, a link-local address is assigned. If necessary, change the IPaddress of the camera to be on the same subnet
as the NIC.
3 Oryx Installation
5. Confirm Successful Installation
Run the SpinView application: Start->All Programs-> Point Grey Spinnaker->SpinView
The SpinView application can be used to test the camera's image acquisition capabilities.
Changes to your camera's installation configuration can be made using the SpinView application.

3.4 Powering Your Oryx
Power is provided externally through the GPIO interface: 12 - 24 V. Power consumption is 15W maximum, 11 W
nominal.
The camera does not transmit images for the first 100 ms after power-up. The auto-exposure and auto-white
balance algorithms do not run while the camera is powered down. It may therefore take several images to get a
satisfactory image.
When the camera is power cycled (power disengaged then re-engaged), the camera reverts to its default factory
settings, or if applicable, a saved user set.
