Camera Installation
PoE+ Power Supplies
With PoE+, camera power is delivered to the camera over the Ethernet cable via the camera’s
standard RJ-45 Ethernet connector. The FC-Series camera is a Powered Device compliant with the
IEEE 802.3at-2009 standard, known as PoE+ or PoE Plus. The FC-Series camera is also backward
compatible with the older IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard.
When connected to Power Sourcing Equipment compliant with the earlier, lower power IEEE
802.3af-2003 standard, the limited power available to the FC-Series will typically prevent the
formation of frost and ice. However, the limited power available from 802.3af-2003 may not fully
achieve the camera’s stated specification of de-icing 6 mm of ice from cold start. In all other ways the
camera will operate normally with Ethernet Powered Sourcing Equipment compliant to either IEEE
PoE standard.
Supplemental Lens Heater
The supplemental lens heater is intended to provide lens de-fogging and de-icing in the event of:
• A power interruption which disables the camera for an extended period, and
• Freezing rain which fully covers the lens and obstructs the image.
The FC-Series cameras with lens windows (7.5 mm, 9 mm, 13 mm, 19 mm, 25 mm, 35 mm) are
shipped from the factory with the supplemental lens heater on. The lens heater is configured to
dynamically maintain the camera window at a constant temperature.
The lens heater may be turned on manually from the Live Video web page (De-Ice button). Refer to
Web Control Panel, pg. 26. The heater, when turned on manually, will run for approximately 2 hours
unless turned off either by the user (De-Ice button) or the thermostat control.
FC-Series cameras with a 60 mm or a 75 mm lens are shipped from the factory with the
supplemental lens heater off. These cameras require the de-ice kit accessory for installations that
require using the supplemental lens heater. After installing the de-ice kit, contact FLIR Technical
Support for configuration instructions for the specific installation.
Note
1.3.2 Camera Accessories
The following accessories are available for purchase from FLIR Systems, Inc.
• PoE+ power supply (PN 4132391) - For powering a single FC-Series camera using PoE+. In
addition to PoE+ power and communications, the power supply provides surge protection. It
complies with IEEE 802.3at and is backward compatible with the IEEE802.3af standard.
• Concealed Cable Wall Mount (PN 4129742) - Includes camera mount
gasket and hex wrench for adjusting the ball joint controlling the
camera’s view angle. The FC-Series camera is attached to the
mounting arm using the four M5 threaded bottom mounting holes. A
cable gland plug is supplied with the camera for the rear of the camera
housing when cables are routed using the concealed cable accessory.
Refer to Camera Mounting with Concealed Cable Wall Mount, pg. 11.
The 60 mm or 75 mm lenses are not thermally conductive. The de-ice kit provides a lens cover
that will conduct heat to keep the lens free of ice or frost.
