How to install and debug an explosion-proof IR camera?

Sep 17, 2025 Leave a message

I. Pre-installation Preparation
‌1. Environmental Assessment‌
Confirm that the installation area meets explosion-proof rating requirements (e.g., Ex d IIC T6 applies to Zone 1 of a chemical plant).
Inspect the power supply, network, and other infrastructure to ensure they meet the equipment's operational requirements.
‌2. Equipment Inspection‌
Verify that the explosion-proof marking complies with the site environment (e.g., coal safety certification is required for mining applications).
Test the infrared light's range (recommended: at least 30 meters) and angle (adjustable from 5-60 degrees).
‌II. Installation Steps
‌1. Fixed Installation‌
Use an explosion-proof bracket for wall mounting or ceiling mounting to ensure the device is secure (e.g., elevator cameras require a dedicated mounting bracket).
Outdoor pole mounting requires an IP68 waterproof enclosure (recommended dimensions: 300×200×400mm).
‌2. Wiring Processing‌
Use a 16mm² multi-strand grounding wire for the power cable, connected to a 40×4 galvanized flat steel bar. Cables must be numbered and bundled, and the cable entry holes must be sealed (explosion-proof requirements).
‌3. Lightning Grounding‌
Ground Bolt Spacing 4 meters, apply anti-rust paint to welding joints, and ground resistance ≤ 4Ω.

III. Commissioning Key Points
1. Infrared Function Commissioning
Adjust the brightness and illumination angle of the infrared lamp (mixed installation for optimal coverage).
Test the imaging effect under low illumination of 0.001 Lux (Starlight cameras can output color images).
2. System Parameter Configuration
Initialize the device using the commissioning software and configure functions such as motion detection and alarm linkage.
Verify the stability of the POE power supply (recommended to use 4-5 pairs of DC12V cables).
3. Acceptance Test
Simulate alarm tests (e.g., triggering and responding to occlusion alarms).
Test the device's stability by running it continuously for 24 hours.
IV. Maintenance Recommendations
Clean the explosion-proof glass and protective cover monthly (to prevent dust from affecting imaging).
Regularly check the cooling system (install ventilation equipment in high-temperature environments).
