Installing M-Series Systems
6 432-0003-00-12 Rev 140 — M-Series Installation Guide
Installation Overview
The M-Series includes these standard components:
• Pan/tilt camera unit
• Joystick control unit (JCU) and JCU cover
• M-Series documentation package
• 7.7 meter (25-foot) double-shielded Ethernet cable
• Weathertight Ethernet coupler
• Mounting hardware and connectors
You will need to supply the following items; required lengths vary depending on
your boat's configuration. These items are available in standard lengths through
FLIR.
• Electrical wire, for system power; up to 30.5 meters (100 feet), 3-conductor,
gauge determined by cable length and supply voltage; see “Electrical
Connections” on page 14 for details.
• Camera grounding strap.
• Up to 2 coaxial RG59/U video cables (with F-style connector at the camera
end).
• Ethernet cables, if required, up to 100 meters (328 feet).
• Miscellaneous electrical hardware, connectors, and tools.
The mounting hardware included with the camera includes the following. For
installations with special requirements, you may need to substitute other
mounting hardware:
• Six M6 x 60 stainless steel-threaded studs with washers and nylock nuts or
acorn nuts, for attaching the M-Series camera body. The length required
depends on the mounting platform thickness. See “Camera Mounting
Options” on page 8 for more details.
• Four captive screws for attaching the JCU.
Optional configurations have additional requirements:
• For a top-down installation, you may need an optional Top-Down Installation
Kit. See “Camera Mounting Options” on page 8 for more information about
mounting kits.
• If you plan to install more than one JCU or additional cameras, additional
network hardware (a PoE switch or a non-PoE switch with a PoE injector) is
required. See “Multiple JCU/Camera Installations” on page 10 for more
details.
