Note: FLIR M-Series cameras require the firmware package version 2.5.8 or newer. All M-Series
cameras shipped prior to September 2013 will require a firmware update. To determine the current
firmware version, refer to the Troubleshooting section below.
As described earlier, M-Series installations require the following Garmin accessory - Coupler, Marine
Network PoE Isolation P/N 010-10580-10.
If the M-Series has a single video connection (XP models), it is recommended the video cable from the
camera should be connected to the Video 1 port on the display. For M-Series cameras that have a
thermal imager and a visible (lowlight or color) camera, it is generally possible to connect both video
cables to the MFD and view both video images at the same time. However it will only be possible to
control the camera with one video channel. It is recommended the cable labeled “VIS/IR” should be
connected to the Video 1 port and used for control.
The FLIR MD-Series was released more recently than M-Series, and all cameras shipped to date have
the required version for compatibility with the Garmin display. It is recommended the video cable from
the camera should be connected to the Video 1 port on the display.
