Important Safeguards

In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacturing process of your product, safety is a major factor in the design of every instrument. However, safety is your responsibility too. This sheet lists important information that will help to ensure your enjoyment and proper use of the product and accessory equipment. Please read them carefully before operating and using your product.

1.1 General Precautions

  1. All warnings and instructions in this manual should be followed.
  2. Remove the plug from the outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid aerosol detergents. Use a water-dampened cloth for cleaning.
  3. Do not use this product in humid or wet places.
  4. Keep enough space around the product for ventilation. Slots and openings in the storage cabinet should not be blocked.
  5. It is highly recommended to connect the product to a surge protector to protect from damage caused by electrical surges. It is also recommended to connect the product to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), which has an internal battery that will keep the product running in the event of a power outage.

FLIR M42166 - General Precautions - 1

CAUTION

Maintain electrical safety. Power line operated equipment or accessories connected to this product should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark on the accessory itself and should not be modified so as to defeat the safety features. This will help avoid any potential hazard from electrical shock or fire. If in doubt, contact qualified service personnel.

1.2 Installation

  1. Read and Follow Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the product is operated. Follow all operating instructions.
  2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
  3. Heed Warnings - Comply with all warnings on the product and in the operating instructions.
  4. Polarization - Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug

  5. Power Sources - This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to you, location, consult your video dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

  6. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated insulation, have it replaced by your service technician.
  7. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
  8. Surge Protectors - It is highly recommended that the product be connected to a surge protector. Doing so will protect the product from damage caused by power surges. Surge protectors should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark.
  9. Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) - Because this product is designed for continuous, 24/7 operation, it is recommended that you connect the product to an uninterruptible power supply. An uninterruptible power supply has an internal battery that will keep the product running in the event of a power outage. Uninterruptible power supplies should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark.
  10. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the case are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided and the product manufacturer's instructions have been followed.
  11. Attachments - Do not use attachments unless recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause a hazard.
  12. Water and Moisture - Do not use this product near water — for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool and the like.

  13. Camera Installation - Cameras are not intended for submersion in water. Not all cameras can be installed outdoors. Check your camera environmental rating to confirm if they can be installed outdoors. When installing cameras outdoors, installation in a sheltered area is required.

1.3 Service

  1. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
  2. Conditions Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

  3. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

  4. If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the product.
  5. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
  6. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged
  7. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation.
  8. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance. This indicates a need for service.

  9. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, have the service technician verify that the replacements used have the same safety characteristics as the original parts. Use of replacements specified by the product manufacturer can prevent fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

  10. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks recommended by the manufacturer to determine that the product is in safe operating condition.

About MPX

FLIR MPXTM is a revolutionary video surveillance format powered by HD-CVI technology. MPX delivers megapixel picture quality over coax, meaning you can upgrade your existing analog systems to HD resolution (1MP & 2.1MP) over a single coax cable (RG59 & RG6 compatible).

NOTE
The DVRs covered in this manual are compatible with 1MP (720p) and 2MP (1080p) cameras.

8.1 What types of cabling and run lengths does MPX work with?

MPX allows a maximum cable run of up to 2300ft (700m) @ 720p or up to 2000ft (610m) @ 1080p, depending on the type of cable used (see below). It is required that the cable runs be made in a single run between camera and DVR, as daisychaining multiple cable runs together can prevent the DVR from getting a picture from the camera or may impact image quality. MPX supports standard UTP baluns for use with CAT5E or CAT6 cabling in your installation. The baluns should have a 12V and BNC connection at both ends. You can run up to 300ft (91m) per segment of CAT5E or CAT6.

Cable Type Maximum Run Length
RG59 20AWG Conductor 95% Braid CSA/UL or (UL) approvedCr720p: Up to 1500ft (455m)
