POWER CONSIDERATIONS:
IRIS106 cameras are powered from a +12VDC supply. Ensure the voltage reaching the
camera is as close to the input range as possible. When choosing your power cable,
consider voltage drop over distance and select a gauge of cable that will minimise any
potential issues.
Allow for a maximum power consumption of 24W.
Remember, the voltage going into the cable is not going to be the same as the voltage at
the camera end, especially if the cable run is over distance or if the cable is kinked or
damaged!
Power Connections
Installation should only be carried out by qualified personnel or by persons
competent in the installation of electronic systems. Failure to adhere to the
wiring conventions in this guide and the practices stated could lead to
product failure, damage to property and personal injury or death.
To prolong the lifespan of the cameras optical sensor, it is recommended
that power to the camera is routed via a helm mounted switch, and that
the camera is switched o
ff
when not in use.
The power cores within the IRIS106 Umbilical are colour coded
RED
for
12VDC+ and
BLACK
for DC GROUND. The power wires are terminated with
a 2.5mm DC Barrel Socket Plug. Always ensure your power supply is
protected by a su
ffi
ciently rated fuse or breaker depending on the supply
voltage and cable characteristics.
Video connections (Analogue):
The IRIS106 camera features an analogue composite video output (CVBS). The video
format (PAL / NTSC) can be configured in the cameras on screen menu set up pages. See
On Screen Menu for further details.
IRIS106’s video output is a 1VP~P Composite video signal compatible with most
Multifunctional Displays (MFD
ʼ
s), Digital Video Recorders (DVR’s) and TV
ʼ
s (via AV input).
Use 75
Ω
Coaxial cable such as RG59. Please note, RG59 has a solid core conductor
which may not be suitable. In this case use a stranded coaxial cable such as URM70.
A BNC
ʻ
straight-thru
ʼ
adapter is supplied with the IRIS106 in case you need to extend the
video cable run.
Many Multifunctional Displays (MFD
ʼ
s) / Chart Plotters use RCA (Phono) jacks for video
inputs. Sentinel is supplied with a BNC/RCA adapter for this eventuality.
