WARNING!
Warning: Installation of this product must only be carried out by a marine electronics professional or
competent person. Failure to observe these installation guidelines and good electrical practices could result
in fatal damage to the product, other on board equipment and personal injury. Observe electrical codes and
practices of the region in which the device is being installed.
When installing on board, it is essential to observe electrical safety precautions associated with the
installation and operation of DC powered electronic equipment in and around water. Ensure the waterproof
integrity of the camera, cables and connection of the device are never breached or compromised. Always
power the device from an appropriately rated fuse board or distribution panel.
Installation of the IRIS1720 / 730 necessitates a hole being cut into the structure of the vessel.
Although guidelines are provided below, the responsibility to ensure the camera is installed correctly
and is sealed sufficiently to prevent water ingress belongs to the installer, who must be suitably
competent. Iris Innovations Limited and Iris Innovations USA Corporation accept no liability
whatsoever for issues that may arise as the result of improper or sub stand installation that results
in damage caused directly or indirectly as a result of leakage.
IMPORTANT!
1)
Always ensure that the vessel’s power source and battery are disconnected prior to installation!
2)
Ensure a suitable fuse or circuit breaker are used. Iris recommend a 1A fuse.
3)
Prior to installation, ensure there is sufficient space within the vessel to accommodate the camera,
taking into consideration room to tighten the cameras lock nut and facilitate access to connect
and disconnect the cable.
4)
Although the camera housing and rear connector are waterproof, ensure the cable exit gland is
not submerged at any time in the bilge or any other area on the vessel in which the camera is
installed that may be subject to submersion. Ensure this is installed well away from any moisture
or direct heat sources.
CABLING:
The IRIS1720 / 730 requires a 12VDC power supply and draws less than 100mA. Use a suitably rated fuse
or breaker and run 2 core power cable appropriate for these requirements.
The camera outputs 1VP~P Composite Video. A suitable coaxial cable rated at 75
Ω
should be used with
appropriate BNC connectors. Typical cable types are RG59, RG6 etc. Good quality cable should be used to
ensure the integrity of the video signal. Maximum length of cable run for IRIS1720 should not exceed 500m.
IRIS supply combined power and video cable with the part number: IRIS960-xx, where xx denotes the
desired length in meters.
CAT5 cable can also be used in conjunction with IRIS Balun adapters. Contact Iris for further details.
