Warning: Use of insufficient wire gauge can result in fire. Wire gauge depends on supply voltage
shown. For lower supply voltages, lower gauge wire must be used.
Proper Grounding
Caution: Ensure the camera is properly grounded. Following best grounding practices, the
camera chassis ground should use the lowest resistance path possible.
Failure to provide this connection may result in electrical interference between camera and other
shipboard electronic systems. Furthermore, it is recommended that a bonded grounding scheme
is used with a common ground between the chassis ground and electrical return, with the
connection made as close as possible to the negative terminal of the battery.
Video Connections
Video cables of various lengths with different connectors at one end are available from FLIR. The
video cable used should be rated as RG6 to ensure an adequate quality video signal. For cable
runs in excess of 100 ft, a video amplifier should be used.
Ethernet Connections
The Ethernet cable from the camera can be connected to another Ethernet cable with an RJ45
waterproof enclosure connector (FLIR PN 4115028). The Ethernet network cable should be
8-conductor T568B, Ethernet, double-shielded for EMI considerations.
