1 PT-Series HD Camera Installation
1.3 Location Considerations
Install the camera in a location that will allow access for regular periodic cleaning (fresh water rinse),
inspection of mounting integrity and mechanical soundness, and preventative maintenance. Ensure
the camera and the camera mount are routinely inspected on a periodic basis.
The camera will require connections for power, communications (IP Ethernet, serial), and video
(analog, IP digital).
• Ensure the 360° pan and 180° tilt exclusion zone is free
of all obstructions.
• Install all cameras with an easily accessible Ethernet
connection to support future software updates.
• Ensure that cable distances do not exceed the
specifications and that cables adhere to all local and
industry standards, codes, and best practices.
1.4 Bench Testing
Connect the power, video, serial, and Ethernet connections
and confirm that the video is displayed on a monitor when
the power is turned on. Confirm the camera can be
controlled by moving it (pan/tilt). For configuration and basic
setup information using the onboard web server, refer to
Basic Operation and Configuration, pg. 19.
1.5 Camera Mounting
Caution!
Galvanic isolation is critical in preventing corrosion. Proper installation of galvanic isolation pad and
washers is important for long product life.
There are two critical steps related to proper galvanic isolation camera mounting:
• Installation of galvanic isolation kit
• Proper grounding (bonding) to earth ground
1.5.1 Galvanic Isolation
The Galvanic Isolation Kit (FLIR PN 4204960) is for use with all PT-Series HD cameras. The isolation
plate and nylon shoulder or flat washers provide electrical isolation between the stainless steel
fasteners and the aluminum camera base, and electrically isolates the complete PT-Series HD camera
from the customer mount. Galvanic isolation is critical in preventing corrosion. Proper installation of
galvanic isolation pad and washers is important for long product life. Refer to
Installation of Camera
and Galvanic Isolation Kit, pg. 9 for specific instructions.
Ensure that the camera base is electrically isolated and properly grounded when it is secured to its
mount. Contact between the stainless steel fasteners and any bare aluminum may cause galvanic
corrosion which will shorten the life of the installation and may void the camera warranty.
