1 WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

Warning! This guide uses the term Warning! to indicate a potentially hazardous situation,

which, if not avoided, may result in bodily harm or injury, damage to the camera, or other property damage.

Protect Your Investment

The camera should be installed by a trained professional according to local codes and industrystandard safe practices.

Proper ESD protocol should be followed while working inside the unit.

The camera is a precision optical instrument and should not be exposed to excessive shock or vibration.

Avoid pointing the system directly at extremely high-intensity radiation sources, such as the sun, lasers, arc welders, etc. This warning applies whether or not the system is powered.

Great care should be used with your camera’s optics. They are delicate and can be damaged by improper cleaning. Only clean the lens in the manner described in section 6 Caring for your SR-

Series Thermal Camera.

Legal Considerations

Camera and audio surveillance may be prohibited by laws that vary from country to country. Check the laws in your local region before using this product for surveillance purposes.

Support

If you have questions that are not covered in this manual, or need more information, contact your local FLIR service representative or, 1 (877) 773-3547 inside the US.

In the US, you can reach FLIR Customer Support at (888) 747-FLIR (747-3547).

Important! All thermal imaging systems are subject to export control. Export outside of the

US is controlled by the US Government. Please refer to your FLIR regional sales office or authorized FLIR distributor/reseller for transfers outside of the US and for export compliance information concerning your application or geographic area.

This equipment must be disposed of as electronic waste. Contact your nearest FLIR representative for instructions on how to return the product to FLIR for proper disposal.

2 INTRODUCTION

The SR-Series Thermal Camera you have purchased is a sophisticated thermal imaging camera that provides excellent night visibility and situational awareness, even in absolute darkness. The camera has a standard video output that works with digital video recording devices, video motion detection software or off-the-shelf video encoders.

FLIR’s powerful SR-Series thermal security cameras compliment and complete your security camera network. They turn night into day, allowing you to see intruders invisible to the naked eye. SR-Series cameras create video images from infrared thermal energy (heat), and perform well at night and day, in good weather and bad. The SR Series thermal surveillance camera system is intended for various commercial and industrial applications, including security and surveillance.

Figure 2-1 : Daylight camera on left; Thermal image on right

Observe that the image on the left from an ordinary daylight camera is obscured by fog; the thermal image on the right provides clear details.

The SR-Series camera is designed for simple, intuitive installation and operation. Each model is based on the widely-deployed uncooled microbolometer imaging core from FLIR known as Tau. All cameras include FLIR’s advanced image processing techniques which deliver excellent contrast regardless of scene dynamics. Unlike other night vision systems that require low amounts of light to generate an image, the SR-Series thermal imagers need no light at all.

2.1 Serial Remote Control

The SR-Series cameras support serial communication for control of camera features. The serial standard is user-configurable to the RS-232 or RS-422 signaling standard via a DIP switch inside the camera. Each camera is pre-configured at the factory to support RS-232.

The camera ships with a CD-ROM that includes the SR-Series control software known as the FLIR Camera Controller GUI graphical user interface, which allows the user to operate the following functions or features:

 Digital zoom (2X, 4X)

. Users can control the camera through the Windows®-based

The software is also known as the Tau GUI. Tau is the name of the FLIR microbolometer

thermal imaging core used in the SR-Series cameras.

 Selectable Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Dynamic Detail Enhancement (DDE)

settings for optimization of video imagery

 Camera Palette (also known as Polarity) - by default the White Hot palette is used;

alternatively the Black Hot palette displays warmer objects as black or dark rather than white or light shades. Additional pseudo color palettes are available using the application software supplied with the camera.

Refer to the Tau Camera User’s Manual (TAU-0035-00-10) for more information about specific camera settings. The software and the manual are available on the CD shipped with the camera or from the FLIR web site: http://www.flir.com/cvs/cores/resources/.

2.2 SR-Series Camera Models

The cameras are available with a choice of lenses for short-, medium- and long-range surveillance capability. All SR-series cameras can be used on a fixed-mount or pan/tilt platform and provide crisp, clear thermal imagery in total darkness, light fog or smoke.

Camera Model Field of View (HxV) Resolution Focal Length

SR-124 24° x 20° 160x120 9 mm SR-117 17° x 14° 160x120 13 mm SR-112 12° x 10° 160x120 19 mm SR-348 48° x 39° 320x240 9 mm SR-334 34° x 28° 320x240 13 mm SR-324 24° x 19° 320x240 19 mm SR-313 13° x 10° 320x240 35 mm SR-309 9° x 7° 320x240 50 mm SR-304 4.6° x 3.7° 320x240 100 mm SR-645 45° x 37° 640x480 13 mm SR-625 25° x 20° 640x480 25 mm SR-618 18° x 14° 640x480 35 mm SR-612 12° x 10° 640x480 50 mm SR-606 6° x 5° 640x480 100 mm

2.3 Camera Enclosures

SR-Series cameras are packaged in environmental enclosures that meet IP66 test standards. Refer to section 8 SR-Series Camera Specifications for additional information. The camera’s sun shroud around the enclosure helps regulate the camera temperature in direct-sun installations. Each camera uses an athermalized lens and a lens heater to provide sharp imagery in all temperature and weather conditions, ensuring a clear lens and high-quality infrared video, even in extremely cold environments.

2.4 Package Contents

Refer to the Shipping Check List that is shipped with each camera for a description of the parts and components that are included with the camera. If there is any discrepancy between the list and the contents of your shipment, please contact FLIR Systems Customer Support immediately using the contact information at the front of this manual.

3 INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

General installation information for all SR-series cameras is given below.

If you have a question regarding installation or operation of your SR-Series camera, contact FLIR Systems, Inc Customer Support, using the contact information at the front of this manual. Check out our training web site (http://www.flir.com/training/) to get information on courses offered and to learn how you can become a FLIR-authorized Installer.

Take care during installation to avoid scratching the camera lens. Do not expose the camera to direct sun for long periods without the sun shroud installed.

3.1 Accessing the Electrical Connections

Power and optional serial communications cable gland

Retention screws

It is necessary to remove the rear of the enclosure in order to access the electrical connections. The SR-Series provides electrical contacts in the form of screw-terminal jacks, allowing it to receive 16-24 AWG tinned leads from the power supply and serial communication interface.

Video cable gland

3.2 Ground Connection

The SR-Series cameras have grounding and surge protection to provide further immunity from high current transients that can occur in installations that are subject to electrical storms and/or

nearby lightning events. In order to ensure CE and FCC compliance as well as to protect against these high current events, installers are required to provide an Earth connection to a

specific connection on the camera. Note: a ground connection to the exterior of the camera (for example, to the mounting foot) is insufficient.
