Document History
Proper Disposal of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE): The European Union (EU) has enacted Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE), which aims to prevent EEE waste from
arising, to encourage reuse, recycling, and recovery of EEE waste, and to promote environmental responsibility.
In accordance with these regulations, all EEE products labeled with the “crossed out wheeled bin” either on the
product itself or in the product literature must not be disposed of in regular rubbish bins, mixed with regular
household or other commercial waste, or by other regular municipal waste collection means. Instead, and in order to
prevent possible harm to the environment or human health, all EEE products (including any cables that came with the
product) should be responsibly discarded or recycled.
To identify a responsible disposal method where you live, please contact the local waste collection or recycling service, the
original place of purchase or product supplier, or the responsible government authority in the area. Business users should
contact their supplier or refer to their purchase contract.

Documentation Conventions
For safety, and to achieve the highest levels of performance from the MD-Series
system, always follow the warnings and cautions in this manual when handling
and operating the MD-Series camera system.
Warning: Warning notices are used to emphasize that hazardous voltages,
currents, temperatures, or other conditions that could cause personal injury or
death exist with this equipment, or may be associated with its use.
Caution: Caution notices are used where equipment might be damaged if care is
not taken or an operation might have an unexpected outcome.
Note: Notes call attention to information that is especially significant to
understanding and operating the equipment.
Warnings and Cautions
Warning: Do not use the MD-Series imaging system as the primary navigation
system. Use it in conjunction with other navigation aids and a primary manual
navigation system.
Caution: Do not open the camera ball assembly for any reason. The outer
enclosure (dome) can be removed during installation but should remain in place
during normal use. Disassembly of the camera ball assembly can cause
permanent damage and will void the warranty.
Caution: Be careful not to leave fingerprints on the camera optics. Also, if the
camera dome is removed, do not touch the gore vent on the back of the camera.
Oil and other debris will clog the vent and prevent it from functioning properly.

MD-Series Overview
System Description
MD-Series is a maritime thermal imaging system for use on most types of
vessels. The infrared (IR) thermal camera provides night-time imagery, even in
total darkness, based on temperature differences. It provides a clear video image
even under completely dark conditions because it is sensitive to thermal infrared
energy.
The system has a single thermal imaging camera that is available in two models:
• Model MD-324 has a standard resolution camera that supports 2X zoom.
• Model MD-625 has a higher resolution camera that supports either 2X or 4X
zoom.
Details for each model are listed in “Feature Comparison of MD-Series Models”
on page 55.
The MD-Series consists of a fixed dome assembly, also known as the camera
unit. The camera supplies an analog video output through a standard F-type
coupling, and receives power from its PoE interface.
The MD-Series dome camera is an Internet Protocol (IP) network device. In some
installations, additional cameras, joystick control units (JCU), video equipment,
personal computers, or wireless devices can optionally be used. Networking
equipment such as Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches and routers can be used
to interconnect these components.
MD-Series Dome Assembly
The MD-Series thermal camera is contained in the ball of the dome assembly,
which has a removable cover that protects the camera assembly inside. The outer
dome is not intended to provide camera sealing.
When the cover is removed at the time of installation, the camera assembly can
be mechanically positioned to allow the camera to point in the optimal direction.
The assembly can be rotated up to 30° to either side, and can be tilted -27° to
+34°. The entire camera can also be mounted upside down, known as ball-down
installation. See the MD-Series Installation Guide for details about modifying pan/
tilt and installation options.
The thermal infrared camera uses an uncooled vanadium oxide (VOx) detector
sensitive to long-wave infrared (LWIR) thermal energy. The camera detects the
thermal energy that comes from the movement of atoms and molecules that make
up whatever the camera is pointed toward. All objects emit (or radiate) thermal
energy, even cold objects like icebergs.
Ball-Up and Ball-Down Installation
In most installations, the MD-Series is mounted upright on top of a mounting
surface, with the base below the camera; this is known as the ball-up orientation.

Optionally, the unit can be hung upside down or ball-down and configured to
invert and revert the video output by selecting the ball-down mode under System
Settings of the camera on-screen menu system. Unless otherwise noted, this
manual assumes an upright (ball-up) installation.
Camera Control
Typically, the camera is installed using default settings and operated with those
defaults without making any changes. The camera generates a video image to a
monitor so long as it has power. In this scenario, it is not necessary to make any
changes to the camera settings and no camera control is needed.
Some of the default settings can be modified at the time of installation and the
new settings can be used whenever the camera is powered on. In this scenario, it
is necessary to have camera control during installation, but no camera control is
needed while it is operating
If a PC or laptop or iOS device (iPhone or iPad) is on the network, the camera
settings can be controlled while it is operating, in order to zoom in/out or to
modify the image settings in response to changing conditions or personal
preferences.
Since the MD-Series is a fixed camera, it is not possible to move (pan/tilt) the
camera remotely while the camera is operating. Control of the camera is limited
to making adjustments to the image and to accessing an on-screen configuration
menu. The possible control functions or image adjustments are described in
Chapter 3, "MD-Series System Configuration," on page 15.
Depending on how much control is needed and what devices are available, there
are several options for controlling the camera, including the following:
• Use a web browser running on a PC, laptop, smartphone or PDA through a
wireless connection or an Ethernet cable. Refer to Chapter 4, "IP
Communications," on page 25.
• Use the FLIR Mobile app available free through the iTunes store on an Apple
iOS device such as an iPad or iPhone. The app supports basic camera
functions but not all configuration options.
• Use a control-capable Multi-Function Display (MFD) from Raymarine or other
vendor. Refer to the MFD manufacturer to determine if control of the FLIR
device is supported.
• Use a FLIR Maritime Joystick Control Unit (JCU), available as a separately-
purchased accessory. The JCU can be used to control the camera and/or
access the on-screen menus and configuration choices.
If the MD-Series system is installed on a network with other FLIR cameras (such
as M-Series or Voyager III) that are operated with the Maritime JCU, the existing
JCU can be used to control the MD-Series as well. Using the FLIR JCU is
described in Chapter 5, "Optional Joystick Control Unit (JCU)," on page 39.
