432-0007-00-12 Rev 110

Installation Planning

You should consider a number of factors in planning the installation of the MV/

MU-Series camera and JCU.

General Location Considerations

First determine a good location for mounting the MV/MU-Series system body and the JCU. The system has four pigtail cable connections:

• One for power; approximately 45 cm (18 in)

• One for Ethernet connection for the JCU and/or digital video; approximately 122 cm (48 in)

• Two for the analog video; approximately 152 cm (60 in)

More than one JCU can be installed to control the camera and more than one display can be used to view the video. Also, a single JCU can be used to control more than one camera. Most often, the JCU 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.

When determining the component locations, consider how the system may be expanded in the future. For example, you may want to add an additional monitor, or perhaps a JCU and monitor pair.

Camera Location Considerations

Consider the following points when determining the camera location:

• Mount the IP66-rated MV/MU-Series camera body as high as practical, but without interfering with any radar, navigational, or communications electronics. and minimizing 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. It is a good practice to test the unit at the planned installation location with typical vessel electronics active prior to mounting the camera.

• Mount the camera as close to the vessel’s center line as possible so you will have a symmetrical view of on-coming traffic, obstacles, and other navigational hazards.

• An appropriate camera mount suited for the camera mass and potential vibration and mechanical shock is important for proper camera functioning. The camera is tested to hold position for mechanical shock up to 9g transverse and

15g vertical. Improper mounts that are loose and/or resonate can magnify vessel impacts causing the camera to be unable to maintain pointing direction.

• A final location consideration is the camera’s relation to other navigation devices. If you are relying on a magnetic compass for navigation and direction, you should establish a “compass safe distance” for any object placed in its vicinity, especially any electronic equipment. The magnetic compass safe distance for the camera is 20 cm (7.9 in).

MV/MU-Series Camera Body Handle

Caution:

The MV/MU-Series camera weights 27 kg (60 lb). Handling should be done in a secure manner to avoid potential shocks that could damage the product.

To move the MV/MU-Series camera to its location on board the vessel, you may want to use the hook lifting screw on top of the camera head. To access it, pry off the cover at the top of the camera body with a soft screwdriver. Screw the lifting hook into the threaded hole.

M10-16

Upright (ball up)

Upside down (ball down)

Camera Mounting Options

Your MV/MU-Series camera can be installed in an upright or upside down position.

Make sure you have ordered the proper version before installation.

Upright Installation

In most installations, the MV/MU-Series is mounted upright on top of a mounting surface, with the pan/tilt base below the camera; this is known as the ball up orientation. Optionally, the unit can be hung upside down or ball down.

Once the mounting location has been selected, verify that both sides of the mounting surface are accessible. The camera mounting surface must be at least as large as the footprint of the camera itself to ensure an adequate seal with the Oring.

The installer must provide mounting hardware which results in a maximum insertion depth into the camera base not to exceed 25 mm.

Caution:

Do not remove the screws in the base of the camera or disassemble the camera unit. The camera unit is sealed at the factory. Disassembling the camera will compromise the seals and will void the warranty.

Caution:

Use all the 10 mounting holes to secure the camera rigidly.

Camera Video Options

The video from MV/MU-Series models is provided as composite or analog video over two coaxial cables and as digital video over Ethernet (when connected to a local area network (LAN). The multiple payloads of the system provide between three and four video feeds (based on model) which must then be selected and configured for both the composite and digital outputs. Any two video feeds are available at any one time.





Joystick Control Unit - Back

Joystick Control Unit (JCU)

Mount the JCU in a convenient area that is close to the monitor being used to display the MV/MU-Series video output. Make sure the area you choose leaves enough room for the cable under the JCU (refer to the Maritime JCU ICD for dimensions). The magnetic compass safe distance from the JCU is 55 cm (21.7 in).

The JCU can be mounted to the dash in any orientation, using four captive mounting screws that hold panel mounting clamps. When the mounting screws are tightened, the panel mounting clamps rotate and extend away from the JCU at a right angle, and come into contact with the mounting surface. The JCU can be mounted to dash thicknesses ranging from 0.16 cm to 4.45 cm (0.063 in to 1.750 in). A trim bezel snaps on top of the JCU to cover the mounting screws. See

“Installing the Joystick Control Unit (JCU)” on page 10 for detailed instructions.

JCU Connection to Camera

The JCU is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device and can be connected to the camera directly with a user-supplied cable of sufficient length. In this case, the JCU draws its power from the camera. The video in this case would typically be carried over the coaxial RG59/U analog video cables.

Alternatively, the camera and the JCU can be connected together via an Ethernet switch; this type of configuration allows for more than one JCU or camera to be used. The JCU draws its power through the Ethernet connection, so a PoE injector or PoE switch is required. The video in this case could be provided over the coaxial

RG59/U analog video cables or as IP digital video over the Ethernet cable.

Prior to Cutting/Drilling Holes

When selecting a mounting location for the MV/MU-Series system, consider cable lengths and cable routing. Ensure the cables are long enough, given the proposed mounting locations and cable routing requirements, and route the cables before you install the components.

Use power cables that have sufficient dimensions to ensure safety and video and communication cables that have sufficient dimensions to ensure adequate signal strength.

To ensure a proper seal between the camera unit and the vessel, an O-ring should be installed in the camera base. The O-ring will seal properly with a surface that is flat to within 0.15 cm (0.06 in) over the diameter of the base of the camera. If it is necessary to install on a surface that does not meet this criteria, a marine-grade sealant (3M 4200 or equivalent) must be used rather than the O-ring.

To ensure a proper seal around the JCU, the supplied gasket must be applied to the

JCU and the cutout opening for the JCU should precisely match the template. If the cutout opening is too large, the gasket around the JCU may not cover the opening adequately.

Multiple JCU Camera Installations

In some installations, the system may include additional components, such as additional cameras or JCUs, video equipment, or network equipment. More than one JCU can be used to control the camera, and more than one display can be used to view the video. Also a single JCU can be used to control more than one camera and optionally you can also use a PC to control the camera.

Refer also to the “MV/MU-Series Installation Examples” on page 15 for diagrams

showing several possible system configurations using more than one JCU.

The following diagram shows one possible system configuration using:

• A video amplifier that supports output to four video devices, is used here to provide a single analog video output to multiple monitors.

• POE Injectors for DC/DC Power over Ethernet to power two JCUs.

• Either JCU can take control of the camera and select which video output is shown on both remote monitors (IR, visible, etc).

Physical Installation

Use a thread-locking compound such as Loctite 242 or equivalent with all metal-tometal threaded connections.

Installing the Camera Unit

The MV/MU-Series camera can be mounted in an upright or upside down position.

A rubber O-ring is provided for use during the camera installation.

As an alternative to the mounting O-ring, you can use a marine-grade sealant such as 3M 4200 or the equivalent.

Mounting Upright

Caution:

The cable connectors terminating the pigtail cables on the camera are not sealed connectors; therefore, appropriate sealing steps are needed to protect the connections and the camera.

Caution:

Before drilling holes, ensure you have first followed the steps outlined in

the planning section (page 5). For example, it is important to test the unit at the

planned installation location with typical vessel electronics active prior to mounting the camera.

Using the template supplied with the camera as a guide, mark the location of the holes for mounting the camera. Make sure the template is oriented properly relative to the bow of the vessel; observe that the forward direction is reversed for the balldown installation. If the template is printed, be sure it is printed to scale so the dimensions are correct.

Once the holes are drilled in the mounting surface, install the ten (10) threaded studs into the base of the camera with thread-locking compound. Install the rubber

O-ring in the base of the camera. Thread the power supply, video, and Ethernet cables from the camera through the center hole, and then place the camera on the mounting surface so the threaded studs extend through the drilled holes. Then secure the camera body to the mounting surface with the supplied nuts and washers. As needed, the threaded studs can be replaced with studs of a different length or cut to a shorter length.

Warnin g:

When mounting the camera in a ball-down position, the installer must ensure the camera is installed with adequate drainage so that standing water does not collect above the cable glands. Standing water will eventually seep past the cable gland seals and compromise the internal electronics. Failure to properly install or seal these glands could void the camera warranty.

Caution:

When installing the camera, do not tighten the fastener in the threaded hole so far that it contacts the bottom of the threaded hole. Maximum insertion should not exceed 25 mm (1 in), and torque should not exceed 28 N·m

(20.6 lb· ft).

Installing the Joystick Control Unit (JCU)

The cable gland seal is designed for use with double-shielded category 5 Ethernet cable. To ensure a good seal and to maintain compliance with EMI ratings, a double-shielded cable is required.

The JCU enclosure is rated IP66 above the JCU mounting surface/gasket and rated

IP64 behind or below the gasket.

Caution

: An installation template is provided in the JCU ICD. If you print the template from the PDF file, ensure that it was printed to the correct scale by checking the dimensions prior to cutting any holes.

Standard JCU Mounting Instructions

1.

Using the JCU template supplied as a guide in Doc. # 500-0385-19, mark the location of the rectangular opening that will allow the JCU to be recessed in the vessel’s control console. Ensure the corners are marked precisely and cut square.

2.

Apply the adhesive side of the rubber gasket to the back of the JCU on the surface that faces the mounting platform. The JCU comes with 4 panel mounting clamps that can be reversed when the thickness of the panel material is less than 7.9 mm (5/16 or 0.31 in); see instructions below. Ensure the mounting clamps are rotated inward and are recessed so the entire JCU fits into the hole

3.

Remove boots from both ends of the Ethernet cable, as it may interfere with the coupling gland. The boot may cause the RJ45 connector tab to depress, which can lead to intermittent connections.

4.

Loosen or remove the cable gland nut on the JCU, and insert the Ethernet cable

RJ45 connector through the gland nut. Once the Ethernet cable is connected to the JCU, replace the gland nut and turn the nut 1/4 turn beyond hand tight.

5.

Insert the JCU into the hole and secure with the 4 corner screws. Rotate each screw one full turn and ensure the mounting clamps are rotated outward from the JCU housing. Tighten the screws to draw the mounting clamps up against the mounting surface and then tighten another quarter or half turn. Do not over tighten the screws.

Mounting the JCU to a Thin Panel

As shipped from the factory, the JCU can be mounted to dash thicknesses ranging from 7.9 mm to 44.5 mm (0.31 in to 1.75 in). The clamps are set with the small foot on each clamp facing away from the panel, as shown.

If you intend to mount the JCU to a panel of 7.9 mm (0.31 in) thickness or less, remove the clamps from the mounting screws, turn them around and thread them back onto each of the four screws. The foot on each clamp now faces the panel and allows the clamp to contact thinner panel surfaces while still allowing for proper compression of the JCU mounting gasket to form a watertight seal.

10




Mounting the JCU Key Pad Front Cover

Note:

The JCU is shipped without the front cover installed. The face of the JCU has an adhesive layer, covered by a removable film, to secure the front cover after the JCU is installed in its final location.

1.

Pull up the tab to remove the adhesive protection film and expose the adhesive layer.

2.

Install the key pad front cover over the joystick ensuring that the joystick boot is not caught between the cover and the JCU.

3.

Position the cover starting with the bottom corners and then press into the adhesive on all edges. The cover should snap into place flush with the JCU bezel.

Caution:

During installation, ensure the cables exiting the bottom of the camera are not in contact with sharp edges, do not bend at sharp angles, and are not pinched between the bottom of the camera and the mounting surface. Do not pull on the cables with excessive force.

Caution:

It is recommended that any built-up triboelectric charge on the Ethernet cable should be discharged before connecting it to the JCU and camera. This can be accomplished simply by pressing an ungloved finger across the Ethernet RJ45 connector of the cable for a few seconds.

Proper Grounding

Caution:

Ensure the camera is properly grounded. Following best grounding practices, the camera chassis ground should use the lowest resistance path possible.

The green wire in the camera cable can be used to provide chassis ground for cable lengths under 2 m (6 ft). For longer cabling, the camera must be connected to a vessel ground using a low-resistance grounding strap connected directly to one of the M8 mounting bolts on the camera base as shown in the MV/MU-Series ICD.

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.

432-0007-00-12 Rev 110

Connecting Power

The camera itself does not have an on/off switch. Generally the MV/MU-Series camera will be connected to a circuit breaker and the circuit breaker will be used to apply or remove power to the camera. When power is supplied, the camera will be in one of three modes: Booting Up, Standby, or Powered On. The MV/MU-Series

Operator’s Manual has detailed information about powering and operating the camera.

Consider installing a fuse in line with the power connection to protect the camera

from power surge or short circuit. Table 1.2 applies to 24V operation.

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.

Video Connections

The video cables from the camera are terminated with BNC-type connectors. Video cables of various lengths with different connectors at one end and BNC-connectors at the other end are available from FLIR. The video cable used should be rated as

RG59/U or better to ensure an adequate quality video signal. For cable runs in excess of 100’, 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 rated for use with PoE devices (IEEE802.3af) and should be 8-conductor T568B, Ethernet, double-shielded for EMI considerations (for example, 25 foot, FLIR PN 308-0163-25).

MV/MU-Series Installation

Examples

Introduction

This chapter describes several typical installations using various components, third-party devices, and standard and optional accessories.

Basic Standard Installation

The camera is PoE standard compliant. Therefore, it provides the necessary power to the JCU. The JCU selects which video output to view (IR, visible, etc) on each monitor.

MV/MU-Series Installation Examples

Digital Video and Multiple JCUs

If two JCUs are used, typically, they are installed in different locations aboard the vessel. They both can be switched on and enabled at the same time. One or more computers on the network can control the camera and stream video, by using a web browser, FLIR Sensor Manager (FSM) software, or a third-party Video

Management System (VMS) application. If using an Ethernet switch that is not PoE standard, a PoE injector or PoE compatible Hub is required to power the JCU.

• POE Injectors for Power over Ethernet to power one or more JCUs.

• Any JCU can take control of the camera and select which video output is shown on each monitor (IR, visible, etc).

• The PC receives IP digital video and can control the camera using a web browser, FLIR Sensor Manager (FSM) software, or a third-party Video

Management System (VMS) application.

Digital Video, Multiple JCUs, and Multiple Cameras

When there is more than one MV/MU-Series system on the network, typically, there will be one JCU to control one system and another JCU to control the other system.

Remember that each MV/MU-Series system can contain up to four payloads— each a different camera.

• Each MV/MU-Series system streams video from any two of its payloads.

• Each JCU selects which MV/MU-Series system to control.

• Either JCU can select either MV/MU-Series system at any time, but only one at a time.

• The PC can also control either MV/MU-Series system using a web browser,

FLIR Sensor Manager (FSM) software, or a third-party Video Management

System (VMS) application, but only one system at a time (based on the IP address of the MV/MU-Series system).

• Both JCUs and the PC can control the same MV/MU-Series system at the same time.

Note in the illustration below, that three different videos streams are being shown on the three video monitors. A fourth video stream from Camera 2 is not shown, but is available to the PC. Since both primary and secondary video streams from

Camera 1 are shown, the video stream at the PC must be from Camera 2).

MV/MU-Series Reference

MV/MU-Series Maintenance

The MV/MU-Series components are designed for years of rugged, trouble-free use.

Cleaning the JCU

To clean the JCU, use a soft cloth and clean water. Mild household cleaner such as

Windex can also be used to remove tougher stains or spots. Do not use alcohol based cleaners or any type of solvents as this may discolor or damage the unit.

Cleaning the Camera Optics

Great care should be used with your camera's optics. They are delicate and can be damaged by improper cleaning. The MV/MU-Series thermal camera lenses are designed for the harsh outdoor environment and have a coating for durability and anti-reflection, but may require cleaning occasionally. FLIR Systems, Inc. suggests that you clean the lens when image quality degradation is noticed or excessive contaminant build-up is seen on the lens.

Rinse the camera housing and optics with low pressure fresh water to remove any salt deposits and to keep it clean. If the front window of the camera gets water spots, wipe it with a clean soft cotton cloth dampened with fresh water. If the window requires further cleaning, use a soft moist cotton-based cloth with isopropyl alcohol or dish soap.

Do not use abrasive materials, such as paper or scrub brushes as this will possibly damage the lens by scratching it. Only wipe the lens clean when you can visually see contamination on the surface.

Cleaning the Camera Body

Do not pressure wash the camera, especially around the FLIR logos, as that could force water through the camera seals. Clean the interface between the yoke and base often to prevent accumulation of debris or salt deposits.

If you have a problem with your thermal camera, do not attempt to repair it yourself.

The MV/MU-Series camera is a sealed unit and can not be opened or serviced in the field. Consult your installation dealer or FLIR Systems, Inc. for repair information.

Caution:

The MV/MU-Series is sealed at the factory against liquid water, suspended particulates, and other contaminants. It is important that you not open the camera for any reason, as it will compromise this seal and possibly damage the unit. Opening the MV/MU-Series camera will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
