FLIR A3xx f series camera
The FLIR A3xx f series camera is an infrared thermal imaging camera intended for out-
door applications, and can be installed in a fixed location or on a pan/tilt mechanism.
The FLIR A3xx f series camera is intended to be mounted on a medium-duty fixed ped-
estal mount or wall mount commonly used in the CCTV industry. Cables will exit from the
back of the camera housing. The mount must support up to 30 lbs. (15 kg).
The FLIR A3xx f series camera is both an analog camera and an IP camera. The video
from the camera can be viewed over a traditional analog video network or it can be
viewed by streaming it over an IP network using MPEG-4 encoding. Analog video will re-
quire a connection to a video monitor or an analog matrix/switch. The IP video will require
a connection to an Ethernet network switch, and a computer with the appropriate soft-
ware for viewing the video.
The camera can be controlled through IP communications.
The camera operates on 12/24 VDC, 9 W max. (allowed range: 10–30 VDC) and heaters
on 24 VDC, 25 W max. In total: 34 W.
In order to access the electrical connections and install the cables, it is necessary to tem-
porarily remove the back cover of the camera housing.

Installation components
In addition to the items included in the cardboard box, the installer will need to supply the
following items:
• Electrical wire, for system power: up to 100′ (three conductor, shielded, gauge deter-
mined by cable length and supply voltage).
• Camera grounding strap.
• Coaxial RG59U video cables (BNC connector at the camera end) for analog video.
• Shielded Category 6 Ethernet cable for control and streaming video over an IP net-
work; and also for software upgrades.
• Miscellaneous electrical hardware, connectors, and tools.
7.3
Location considerations
The camera will require connections for power, communications (IP Ethernet, and/or RS-
232/RS-422), and video.
Note
Install all cameras with an easily accessible Ethernet connection, to support fu-
ture software upgrades.
Ensure that cable distances do not exceed the referenced standard specifications and
adhere to all local and Industry standards, codes, and best practices.
7.4
Camera mounting
FLIR A3xx f series cameras must be mounted upright on top of the mounting surface,
with the base below the camera. The unit should not be hung upside down.
The FLIR A3xx f series camera can be secured to the mount with three to five ¼″-20
bolts or studs, as shown below.
