1PT-Series Camera Installation
Figure 1-1: PT-Series Camera
Shipping plugs only Remove before installing
The 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.
1.4Installation Overview
The PT-Series Camera is a multi-sensor camera system on a pan/tilt platform. Combinations of an
infrared camera and a visible-light video camera are intended for outdoor installations.
The 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 lbs. (20 KG). The camera can be controlled through either serial or
IP communications. The camera operates on 21 - 30 VAC or 21 - 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.
1.4.1Camera Connection Options
Camera connections are made through water-tight cable gland seals on the rear of the camera. Refer
to section 1.5.5 “Cable Gland Sealing” on page 1-5 to ensure the glands are used correctly and the
connections are properly sealed.
The camera can be powered with a conventional power supply, using 21 - 30 VAC or 21 - 30 VDC.
The PT-Series Camera can produce analog or digital (IP) video output (or both). 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 video channels.
An Ethernet connection is provided for IP video streaming and for command and control
communications (pan/tilt/zoom/etc.). A web browser can be used for camera configuration and
maintenance (software/firmware updates). On some models, a web browser can also be used for IP
video streaming and for command and control.
For analog installations that are not using Ethernet/IP, a serial cable (RS232 or RS422) can optionally
be connected and used for command and control communications, supporting either Pelco D or
427-0032-00-12, Version 170Mar 20141-2
1PT-Series Camera Installation
Bosch protocols. In installations using analog video and serial communications, it is recommended an
Ethernet cable should also be installed for camera configuration, operation, and troubleshooting.
For installations where the camera is mounted on a tower or pole or other location that may be difficult
to access, it is recommended the Ethernet connection should be installed from the camera down to
ground level at a minimum, to allow easier access.
1.4.2Supplied Components
The PT-Series camera includes these standard components:
•Multi-sensor Pan/Tilt Camera Unit
•Cable Glands and Spare Parts kit
•FLIR Sensors Manager CD
•PT-Series Camera Documentation Package
1.4.3Required Components
The installer will need to supply the following items; the lengths are specific to the installation.
•Electrical wire, for system power; up to 100’ (3-conductor, shielded, gauge determined by cable
length and supply voltage. Refer to Figure 1-3 on page 1-7 for additional information)
•Camera grounding strap
•Coaxial RG59U video cables (BNC connector at the camera end) for analog video
•Shielded Category 6 Ethernet cable for control, streaming video, and for software upgrades.
•Optional serial cable for serial communications.
•Miscellaneous electrical hardware, camera mount (with stainless steel washers and bolts),
connectors, and tools
1.5Location Considerations
The camera will require connections for power, communications (IP Ethernet, and/or serial
communications), and video.
Important Note
Install all cameras with an easily accessible Ethernet connection to support future software
upgrades.
Ensure that cable distances do not exceed the specifications and that cables adhere to all local and
Industry Standards, Codes, and Best Practices.
Important Note
If the camera is to be mounted on a pole or tower or other hard-to-reach location, connect and
operate the camera as a bench test at ground level prior to mounting the camera in its final location.
1.5.1Bench 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).

1.5.2Prior to Cutting/Drilling Holes
When selecting a mounting location for the PT-Series camera, consider cable lengths and cable
routing. Ensure 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).
1.5.3Camera Mounting
Caution!
When lifting the PT-Series camera use the camera body and base, not the tubes.
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.
Once the mounting location has been selected, verify both sides of the mounting surface are
accessible.
Use a thread locking compound such as Loctite 242 or equivalent with all metal to metal threaded
connections.
427-0032-00-12, Version 170Mar 20141-4
1PT-Series Camera Installation
Once the holes are drilled in the mounting surface, install four (4) stainless steel 5/16 or M8 bolts with
stainless steel washers and lock washers through the base of the camera.
Always use stainless steel washers on the four camera base mounting holes, especially in locations
where the camera base is exposed to a damp or salt environment. Ensure that the camera base finish
remains intact when it is secured to its mount. Contact between the stainless steel fasteners and any
bare aluminum will cause galvanic corrosion which will shorten the life of the installation.
1.5.4Removing the Back Cover
Use a 2.5mm hex key 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
Important Note
1.5.5Cable Gland Sealing
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 liquid-tight
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. Teflon tape or pipe sealant (i.e. DuPont
RectorSeal T™) are suitable for this purpose.
1.5.6Cable Glands and Spare Parts Kit
The kit contains the two 3/4” cable glands and gland
seal plugs required for non-conduit installations.
The remaining parts included in the kit are:
•a spare ground wire
•a spare ground nut and lock washer
•two spare power terminal block plugs
•two spare serial port terminal block plugs
•four spare F-Series back cover screws
•four spare PT-Series back cover screws

1.5.7Cable Gland Seal Inserts
The PT-Series camera comes with two 3/4”
NPT cable glands, each with a three hole
gland seal insert. Cables may be between
0.23" to 0.29" od. Up to six cables may be
installed. Plugs are required for the insert
hole(s) not being used. The photograph at the
right shows two power cables, an Ethernet
cable, a serial control cable (no analog video
is installed), and two gland seal plugs.
If non-standard cable diameters are used, you
may need to locate or fabricate the
appropriate insert to fit the desired cable.
FLIR Commercial Systems, Inc. does not
provide cable gland inserts other than what is
supplied with the system.
Note
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, you can make a clean and singular cut in the gland seal to install the cable into the gland
seal.
1.6Camera Connections
1.6.1Connecting power
The camera itself does not have an on/off switch. Generally the PT-Series camera will be connected 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 in one of two modes: Booting Up or Powered On.
The power cable 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, 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 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.
1.6.2Video 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.

1.6.3Ethernet Connection
The cable gland seal is designed for use with Shielded Category 6 Ethernet cable.
1.6.4Serial Connection
For serial communications, it is necessary to set the parameters such as the signalling 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 and the 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 1-3 on page 1-7. 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.
1.7Serial Communications Overview
The installer must 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, 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.
Note
The serial communications parameters for the 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
(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).
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.
If the Software Override DIP switch is set to the software 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 hardware 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. See “Serial Address: Decimal To Binary Conversion” on page 3-1.
