Installing M-Series Systems
10 432-0003-00-12 Rev 140 — M-Series Installation Guide
When selecting a mounting location for the M-Series, consider cable lengths and
cable routing. Ensure the cables are long enough, given the proposed mounting
locations and cable routing requirements, and route the cables before you install
the components.
If you are using one of the top-down installation kits, the riser or plate should be
used as a template for the location of the drill holes and cable access hole.
Caution: When installing the camera, do not tighten the fastener in the threaded
hole so far that it contacts the bottom of the threaded hole. Maximum insertion
should not exceed 6 mm (0.23 in), and torque should not exceed 12 N·m
(8.8 lbf· ft).
Use power cables that have sufficient dimensions to ensure safety and video and
communication cables that have sufficient dimensions to ensure adequate signal
strength.
To ensure a proper seal between the camera unit and the vessel, an O-ring
should be installed in the camera base. The O-ring will seal properly with a
surface that is flat to within 0.15 cm (0.06 in) over the diameter of the base of the
camera. If it is necessary to install on a surface that does not meet that criteria, a
marine-grade sealant (3M 4200 or equivalent) must be used rather than the
O-ring.
To ensure a proper seal around the JCU, the supplied gasket must be applied to
the JCU and the cutout opening for the JCU should precisely match the template.
If the cutout opening is too large, the gasket around the JCU may not cover the
opening adequately.
Multiple JCU/Camera Installations
In some installations, the system may include additional components, such as
additional cameras or JCUs, video equipment, or network equipment. More than
one JCU can be used to control the camera, and more than one display can be
used to view the video. Also a single JCU can be used to control more than one
camera and optionally you can also use a PC to control the camera.
Refer also to the M-Series ICD (FLIR Doc. # 432-0003-00) for interconnect
diagrams showing several possible system configurations using more than one
JCU.
The following diagram shows a possible system configuration using:
• A video amplifier (PN 4108996) supplied by FLIR that supports output to four
video devices
• POE Injectors (PN 4113746) supplied by FLIR for DC/DC Power over
Ethernet
