1.1 Camera Overview
The PT-Series HD 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 MJPEG or 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 the
appropriate software for viewing the video stream.
1.2 Installation Overview
The PT-Series HD camera is intended to be mounted outdoors 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 lbs (20 KG). The camera can be controlled through either
serial or IP communications. The camera operates on 21 Vac to 30 Vac or 21 Vdc to 30 Vdc. In order
to access the electrical connections and install the cables, it is necessary to temporarily remove the
back cover of the camera housing. Ensure the back cover is replaced in the same orientation, with the
two cable glands below the central pressure equalization vent.
1.2.1 Camera Connection Options
Camera connections are made through water-tight cable gland seals on the rear of the camera. Refer
to
Cable Gland Sealing, pg. 16 to ensure the glands are used correctly and the connections are sealed.
Analog video will require at least one connection to a video monitor or an analog video matrix switch.
In most analog installations, two video connections will be used—one for the thermal camera video,
and one for the daylight camera video. The camera provides two BNC connectors for these analog
video channels.
An Ethernet connection is provided for IP video streaming and for command and control
communications using a web browser.
For analog installations that are not using Ethernet/IP, a serial cable (RS232 or RS422) can be
connected and used for command and control communications, supporting either Pelco D or Bosch
protocols. It is recommended an Ethernet cable should also be installed to allow easy remote access
for camera configuration, operation, and troubleshooting.

1 PT-Series HD Camera Installation
1.2.2 Serial Communications Overview
The installer must decide if the serial communications settings will be configured via hardware (DIP
switch settings) or software (default). If the camera has an Ethernet connection, then generally it is
easier (and more convenient) 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, and 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.
1.2.3 Supplied Components
The PT-Series HD camera ships with these standard components:
• Multi-sensor pan/tilt camera unit
• Galvanic isolation kit (PN 4204960)
• Noise suppression ferrite
• Cable glands and spare parts kit
1.2.4 Required Components
The installer will need to supply the following items; the cable lengths are specific to the installation.
• 24 Vdc or 24 Vac power supply
Note
A single ferrite is supplied with this equipment, the equipment was tested for compliance with the
FCC limits for a Class A digital device using the ferrite installed on the system power cable. When
connecting one or two power cables to the equipment, the supplied ferrite must be installed with this
equipment. A power installation using metal conduit does not require installing the ferrite.
• Electrical cables, for system power and heater power; 3-conductors are required for system power
(one ground) and two conductors are required for heater power (no ground). The wire gauge must
be determined by cable length and supply voltage. A single 5-conductor, shielded cable or two
individual cables may be used. Refer to
Figure 1-4 on page 11 for additional information.
• Camera grounding strap
• Coaxial RG59U video cables and a 90° BNC adapter at the camera end for analog video
• Shielded CAT6 Ethernet cable for streaming video, control, and for software updates. CAT5e
Ethernet cable may be adequate in many installations except when closely installed with power
cables in demanding video streaming networks.
• Serial cable for serial communications—optional
• Miscellaneous electrical hardware, camera mount (with stainless steel washers and bolts),
connectors, and tools

1.3 Location Considerations
Install the camera in a location that will allow access for regular periodic cleaning (fresh water rinse),
inspection of mounting integrity and mechanical soundness, and preventative maintenance. Ensure
the camera and the camera mount are routinely inspected on a periodic basis.
The camera will require connections for power, communications (IP Ethernet, serial), and video
(analog, IP digital).
• Ensure the 360° pan and 180° tilt exclusion zone is free
of all obstructions.
• Install all cameras with an easily accessible Ethernet
connection to support future software updates.
• Ensure that cable distances do not exceed the
specifications and that cables adhere to all local and
industry standards, codes, and best practices.
1.4 Bench Testing
Connect the power, video, serial, and Ethernet connections
and confirm that the video is displayed on a monitor when
the power is turned on. Confirm the camera can be
controlled by moving it (pan/tilt). For configuration and basic
setup information using the onboard web server, refer to
Basic Operation and Configuration, pg. 19.
1.5 Camera Mounting
Caution!
Ensure that the camera base is electrically isolated and properly grounded when it is secured to its
mount. Contact between the stainless steel fasteners and any bare aluminum may cause galvanic
corrosion which will shorten the life of the installation and may void the camera warranty.
Galvanic isolation is critical in preventing corrosion. Proper installation of galvanic isolation pad and
washers is important for long product life.
There are two critical steps related to proper galvanic isolation camera mounting:
• Installation of galvanic isolation kit
• Proper grounding (bonding) to earth ground
1.5.1 Galvanic Isolation
The Galvanic Isolation Kit (FLIR PN 4204960) is for use with all PT-Series HD cameras. The isolation
plate and nylon shoulder or flat washers provide electrical isolation between the stainless steel
fasteners and the aluminum camera base, and electrically isolates the complete PT-Series HD camera
from the customer mount. Galvanic isolation is critical in preventing corrosion. Proper installation of
galvanic isolation pad and washers is important for long product life. Refer to
and Galvanic Isolation Kit, pg. 9 for specific instructions.

1.5.2 Earth Ground Connection
Earth ground connection is very important
to protect PT-series from surge induced
failures and corrosion caused by stray
current/ground loops. Attach ground wire
(16 AWG or larger) to ground lug on
access panel. Use the large hex nut to
secure ground wire to stud on access
panel. Ground stud is #8-32 thread.
Caution!
When lifting the camera use the camera body and base, not the tubes.
PT-Series HD 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.

• Installation and servicing should be done by qualified installation and service personnel only.
• Installation should be done according to all local and national electrical and mechanical codes,
using only approved materials.
Warning!
Before drilling into walls or ceilings for mounting the camera, verify that areas behind these positions
do not contain electrical or other utility service lines. Serious injury or death may result from failure
to heed this warning.
• Once the mounting location has been selected, verify both sides of the mounting surface are
accessible and free of utility service lines or other obstructions.
• Use stainless steel hardware to fasten mounts to outdoor surfaces.
• Use a thread locking compound such as Loctite 242 or equivalent with all metal to metal threaded
connections.
• To prevent damage from water leakage when installing outdoors, apply sealant around the bolt
holes between the mount and the mounting surface.
Caution!
Following this procedure is critical to maintaining the warranty on your PT-Series HD product.
Failure to follow these instructions can potentially void the camera warranty.

1.6.2 Connecting power
The camera itself does not have an on/off switch. Generally a circuit breaker will be used to apply or
remove power 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 cables supplied by the installer must use wires that are sufficient size gauge (16 AWG
recommended) for the supply voltage and length of the cable run. Always follow local building codes!
To satisfy FCC requirements, the supplied noise suppression ferrite must be installed on the camera
system power cable unless power cables are enclosed in metal conduit. Refer to
Note that the heater power cable requires two-wire power. Do not connect to the power supply ground.
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 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.

1 PT-Series HD Camera Installation
1.6.3 Video Connections
The analog video connections on the back of the camera are BNC connectors. The camera also
provides an RCA video connector that can be used to temporarily monitor the video output.
The video cables used should be rated as RG59U or better to ensure a quality video signal.
Note
Insert the cable 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 terminated, it is possible
to make a clean and singular cut in the gland seal to install the cable into the gland seal.
1.6.4 Ethernet Connection
The cable gland seal is designed for use with shielded Ethernet cable.
Note
Insert the cable 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 terminated, it is possible
to make a clean and singular cut in the gland seal to install the cable into the gland seal.
1.6.5 Serial Connection
For serial communications, it is necessary to set the parameters such as the signaling standard (RS232 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. By default, the serial
interface uses Pelco D, RS-422 standard, 9600 baud rate, 8/1/none, and address 1.
Note
Typical Bosch systems operate using a biphase connection. FLIR cameras do not accept biphase
signals directly. It may be necessary to install a biphase converter in order to use the Bosch protocol.
Connect the wires of the serial cable as show in Figure 1-4 on page 11. When using the RS-422
standard, ensure the transmit pair of the camera goes to the receive pair of the other device, and vice
versa.
Note
The terminal blocks for serial connections will accept a maximum 20 AWG wire size.
Note
The serial communications parameters for the PT-Series HD camera are set or modified either via
hardware DIP switch settings or via software, through a web browser interface. A single DIP switch
(SW103-9), Software Override determines whether the configuration comes from the hardware DIP
switches or the software settings.
Note
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).

1.6.6 Serial Communications Settings - Hardware DIP Switches
The camera has two blocks of DIP switches that are used to configure the serial communications
settings. One block of switches has 8 switches and is used to set the serial address (or ID) of the
camera. The other block of switches has 10 switches and is used to set baud rate, hardware protocol
(RS-232 or RS-422), serial protocol (Pelco D or Bosch), and Software Override.
The figure below shows the locations of dip switches SW102 and SW103.
When the Software Override DIP switch is set to the Off position (as it is by default), all of the other DIP
switches will be ignored, and configuration changes must be made through software. If the switch is
set to the On position, all configuration settings related to serial communications are made with the
DIP switches, and changes that are made via software (with a web browser) will be ignored.
Serial Address: Use the block of switches on the left (SW102) to set the serial address of the
camera. The available range of values is from decimal 1 to 255. The dip switches are interpreted as a
binary number, with switch 1 representing the least significant bit (the switches are in the reverse order
of the bits). For convenience, a table of serial addresses and their binary equivalents is included at the
end of the manual. Refer to
Serial Address: Decimal To Binary Conversion, pg. 45
