Installation Overview
432-0012-00-12 Version 110 July 2016 10
You will need to supply the following items depending on planned installation:
• For Top Down Riser—Six (6) M8 stainless steel bolts and washers to secure the top down riser
after the camera is attached—bolt length depends on mounting platform thickness.
Recommended:
M8 socket head cap screws, or
5/16” - 18 socket head cap screws, or
5/16” - 18 hex head sheet metal screws type 316 stainless steel
Apply thread locker (Loctite 262 or equivalent)
• One or more multi-function displays (MFD) or other analog or digital video display devices
• Coaxial RG6 video cable to customer-supplied analog video monitors
• Coaxial RG6 video cable to customer-supplied HD-SDI digital video monitors
• Ethernet cables to connect the M400 and the JCU II to the PoE Ethernet switch,
8-conductor T568B
• Ethernet cables to connect to the ship’s Ethernet port,
8-conductor T568B
• Miscellaneous electrical hardware, connectors, and tools
General Location Considerations
Warning: The M400 system is not designed to operate in an enclosed environment in the
presence of flammable gases. Failure to follow this warning may result in explosion or fire.
First determine a good location for mounting the M400 system body, JCU II, and PoE switch. The
system has four cable connections:
• Power
• Ethernet connection to the PoE switch from the M400 system body for the JCU II; the switch
requires an Ethernet connection to the JCU II (customer supplied) and to a shipboard network
(optional).
• HD-SDI digital video
• Composite analog video and serial data (NMEA and factory test)
More than one JCU II can be installed to control the camera and more than one display can be
used to view the video. Also, a single JCU II can be used to control more than one camera. Most
often, the JCU II and video monitor are mounted close together, as a pair, so the video can be
viewed when the camera position (pan, tilt, zoom) is changed with the JCU II.
When determining the component locations, consider how the system may be expanded in the
future. For example, adding an additional monitor, or perhaps a JCU II and monitor pair.
Consider the following points when determining the camera location:
• Mount the M400 camera body as high as practical, but without interfering with any radar,
navigational, or communications electronics.
• To minimize interference with video signals, the camera body must be mounted
a minimum of 1 meter away from any radio frequency antenna.
• Minimize the degree to which vessel structures block the camera’s 360° view. The camera’s
continuous-pan design lets it rotate and point in all directions.
