Installation
To install the IRIS106 you will need the following tools:
• Drill with 105mm Hole Saw
• Drill Bit for Pilot Holes (2mm)
• Cross Headed Screw Driver
• Hand tools for connecting cables (unless pre-made cables are being
used), including wire cutters, wire stripper.
• Appropriate tool for terminating BNC connector (unless pre-made
cables are being used), such as knife to remove coax cable outer
sheath and dielectric, BNC Crimp Tool, Cable Insulation Stripper.
• Marine Sealant
Before you begin the installation, please take time to consider the
following important points:
• Always wear safety goggles, dust mask and ear protection when
drilling, cutting or sanding. Where suitable gloves when handling fibre
glass and GRP.
• Before drilling or cutting always ensure there are no obstructions,
cables or equipment on the opposite side of the surface you're working
on. Also ensure there is sufficient space behind the surface to
accommodate the body of the camera, and cabling and ensure you can
get the necessary cables to the camera position.
• Observe safe working procedures when working with electricity. Do not
connect the equipment to live power sources until correct, safe
termination through an appropriately rated fuse or breaker is made. Do
not attempt to install this product unless you are a certified electrical
installer. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
• It is advised that before the equipment is fixed down, check that
desired viewing angles can be achieved in the intended installation
position, and that the equipment will not obstruct other equipment or
fixtures in it's intended position (such as doors or walkways for

example). If possible, power the item up and offer the camera up in the
vicinity of the desired installation position to double check suitability.
Cabling:
The camera has a 30cm cable tail which has a 2.5mm DC Barrel Jack (female)
to connect power, bare stripped and tinned wires (colour coded red and black)
for the RS485 serial control data) and a 75Ω BNC (female) connector for the
video signal, therefore it will be almost inevitable that the power, data and video
cables will need to be extended. In a typical installation, the video cable will
need to be routed back to the monitor (or chart plotter), the data pair will need
to be routed back to the controller or RS485 Data Distributor in larger installations and the power pair will need to be routed back to the boats distribution
panel. See the illustration below:
