2.0 Description

The S series camera housings and pan/tilt camera assemblies are designed for rigorous requirements in non-hazardous locations within oil and gas, petrochemical, marine, and industrial environments. The housing body and external parts are made of AISI 316L stainless steel for low maintenance and corrosion protection.

End covers are secured by M5 x 12-mm stainless steel screws. Weatherproof seals are maintained by 'O' ring seals. The housings feature an internal sliding camera mounting rail with a thermostatically controlled heating element/de-mister for optimal operating temperature and clarity. The viewing window is made of toughened glass or infrared transparent material for Thermal Imager/Dual Imager versions.

There are four system types based on housing and Pan/Tilt (P&T) unit combinations:

• SF series: Fixed camera housings with 3 cable entries in the rear cover.
• SC series: P&T units with integral tilt shaft only, featuring 3 cable entries in the rear cover or 1 into the side of the T unit.
• SP series: P&T units with integral pan and tilt shafts and a fixed base section for cable connection, with a single cable entry in the base.
• ST series: P&T units with integral pan and tilt shafts and a fixed base section for cable connection, plus a secondary housing for an integrated illuminator, also with a single cable entry in the base.

Diagram Description (Page 1): The page displays images of various camera housing and pan tilt unit configurations, showcasing their robust stainless steel construction and mounting options.

2.1 Versions

Housing lengths are denoted by the first two digits of the part number (e.g., S*26, S*40, S*46, S*60). Window types are indicated by the 5th digit (e.g., SP**V for Standard glass, SP**T for Small Germanium, SP**H for Large Germanium, SP**D for Dual Imager).

The 6th digit denotes the option of an integrated wiper mechanism (e.g., SP***W for Wiper, SP***E for Wiper with pump output wiring, SP***N for No Auxiliaries).

The range also supports Standard Analogue Video and Data, HD IP cameras, Hybrid IP encoders, Digital Fibre optic converters, and Media converters. This manual covers standard installations; refer to project-specific drawings for detailed connections and configurations.

The SP and ST units feature a base mount assembly for physical mounting and cable entry via two M20 threaded entries. An optional factory-fit transformer can be installed in the base mount. Internal wiring for SP and ST series is routed through the pan tilt shafts and can only be factory-fitted. Field modifications to internal wiring are restricted to EATON-approved agents.

Integral telemetry receivers allow user-settable software limit stops.

3.0 Installation

It is recommended that all units and associated control equipment are tested at the factory before field installation to ensure proper wiring and system operation.

3.1 Unpacking and Handling

3.1.1 Unpacking

Upon receipt, verify that cartons are undamaged and contents are correct and complete. Keep packing materials for potential returns. Remove protective white film from sunshields before fitting.

3.1.2 Handling

Due to the product's weight, correct handling is crucial. Lift P&T units using suitable equipment capable of supporting loads over 60Kg. Lift P&T systems by the T-section with equal support on both sides; do not lift by the camera housing section. Avoid rotating by hand. Do not handle units with direct contact with ferrous metal equipment (see section 4.1).

[Warning Symbol] Indicates important handling precautions.

3.2 Mounting

Ensure the mounting surface and bracket can support four times the unit's weight. Do not stand or place objects directly under the installed system. Allow sufficient clearance for full rotation and ensure the moving unit cannot contact personnel.

It is strongly suggested to use EATON mounting brackets where possible.

3.2.1 Mounting the SP & ST Series

SP and ST pan/tilt/housing assemblies can be mounted on structures like bulkheads, walls, or towers, and can be inverted if specified upon order. Mounting is via the base mount, which has four M10 clearance holes (Fig 1). The user/installer must supply suitable fixings. The BPW6800 Wall mount bracket is an alternative (Fig 2).

3.2.2 Mounting the SC Series

SC pan/tilt/housing assemblies can be mounted on structures like bulkheads, walls, or towers, and can be inverted if specified upon order. Mounting is via the Pan shaft, with four M8 threaded fixing points on a 101.6mm (4") PCD (Fig 3). The user/installer must supply suitable fixings. The BFW5000 Wall mount bracket (Fig 4) or BFP**00 Column Spacers (Fig 5) are alternatives.

3.2.3 Mounting the XF Series

XF Series fixed housings mount onto structures like bulkheads, walls, or towers using a mounting plate with four M6 threaded fixing points (Fig 6). The user/installer must supply suitable fixings. EATON brackets like the BFP00SW Swivel joint (Fig 7) or BFW32SW (Fig 8) are recommended for flexible camera view direction. Some wall brackets may require rotation or tilting to accommodate gland entry.

3.3 Accessory Installation

3.3.1 Sunshield Installation

Sunshields are supplied uninstalled with a protective film to be removed before installation. Fixings are supplied with the camera system. Mount sunshields with a Nylon spacer between the sunshield and housing. Use M6 A4 Button head screws with red fibre washers (Fig 9 & 10). Long/medium sunshields use four fixings per corner; short sunshields have two fixing types (front and rear).

Diagram Description (Fig 9, Page 12): Illustrates the installation of a sunshield on mid and long housings. Fig 10 illustrates the installation of a sunshield on a short housing.

3.3.2 Washer Nozzle Installation

For continuous rotation P&T systems with an external washer unit, a suitable washer nozzle and mounting bracket are provided. Position these to allow cleaning fluid to reach the window when the wash command is sent. Brackets are housing-specific and pre-aligned (Fig. 11 & 12). For non-continuous rotation P&Ts and fixed housings, the nozzle mounts on the front window flange (Fig. 13).

Diagram Description (Fig 11, Page 13): Shows washer nozzle installation for a 260mm housing. Fig 12 shows washer nozzle installation for a 400mm housing. Fig 13 shows washer nozzle installation for non-continuous rotation P&Ts and fixed housings.

3.4 Electrical Installation

Electrical installation and servicing must be performed by qualified personnel according to codes and standards. This manual covers standard installations; refer to project-specific drawings for detailed configurations. Units can be supplied with 24VAC, 110VAC, or 230VAC supply (±10%). Use only the specified voltage; no allowance is made for variable supply.

[Warning Symbol] Incorrect power supply voltage will cause irreparable damage.

3.4.1 Electrical Installation SP & ST Integrated Pan, Tilt, housing assembly

4.0 Maintenance

Recommended inspection interval: 6 Months.

Inspect the unit every six months for trouble-free operation and extended product life. Due to robust construction, minimal maintenance is usually required. However, 'O' ring weather seals may need replacement approximately every five years if exposed to extreme weather. Regularly check fixings, fastenings, cable entries, and cables for tightness and integrity. Harsh environments may require more frequent inspections.

During each inspection:

• Check and replace 'O' ring weather seals if necessary.
• Check and replace the washer nozzle if necessary.
• Check and replace the window wiper blade if necessary.

Familiarize yourself with the instructions before servicing the Pan/Tilt or housing.

4.1 Corrosion Protection

Although components are AISI 316L stainless steel, improper maintenance, handling, or cleaning can lead to mild discolouration due to oxidation. Ferrous deposits from handling equipment or nearby particles can accelerate corrosion. Clean units immediately following EATON guidelines if ferrous deposits are present. In corrosive atmospheres, clean every 3-4 months using EATON-recommended products and procedures. EATON is not responsible for oxidation due to incorrect cleaning procedures.

[Warning Symbol] Indicates EATON's disclaimer regarding oxidation.
