7.3 Installation
Installation using incorrect connections may result in system malfunction
or risk of shock. FLIR Systems, Inc. recommends the standard 20-foot
cable for proper installation (refer to Chapter 5.1 “Accessories” on page 5-
13). This cable is sealed and provides two power input leads and video
output via the connected BNC adapter.
The proper mating connector must be used when installing the PathFindIR
LE. The use of other connectors may result in damage to the camera that
is not covered by the limited product warranty.
The Standard 20 foot System cable has a BNC connector for video output.
You may need to purchase connectors/converters to connect to aftermarket
or factory-installed video monitors.
7.4 Installation Guidelines and Precautions
Do not splice cables or tap into existing cables for power or video. Doing so
may result in shock, fire, or damage to electrical system/equipment. Power
connections should be made to the fused side of the vehicle’s power
distribution block.
Do not install in areas where the unit will hinder vehicle operation, i.e.
radiator, steering, head lamps, braking systems. Doing so may interfere
with the vehicle's operation and cause an accident.
Do not install in areas of high moisture, dust or air intake paths. Doing so
may hinder the performance of the PathFindIR LE unit and cause image
degradation or window damage.
Use only authorized parts and accessories. Doing so helps assure proper
mounting and connectivity and limits external issues associated with
poorly secured mounting and wiring.
Caution: Supplying power to the unit outside of the recommended and
stated values will result in system malfunction and void the warranty.
This may also result in excessive heat build up, shock, or fire.
