INSTALLATION 

WARNING

 

Voltages exist in the SeaFLIR II Imaging System.  The 
SeaFLIR II Imaging System must be de-energized (TURNED 
OFF at Circuit Breaker) before installing or removing. 

2.1 System 

Diagram 

The SeaFLIR II Imaging System is to be installed per the respective host 
platform alteration or alteration instructions.  Figure 2-1 depicts a typical 
installation. 

CAUTION

 

Proper grounding of the SeaFLIR II Imaging System must be 
accomplished at time of installation into the host platform.  
Refer to the FLIR Interface Control Document (ICD), 
18400-940.  Additional service and installation information 
can be obtained by contacting FLIR at (978) 901-8000.  
Improper installation of the system will cause display 
problems and can damage the system components.
