Lens Style:
Straight Viewing (Narrow FOV) 14-17psi 100-120kPa

Oblique Angle 20-25psi 140-175kPa

2.8.3 Collar Mount Installation

Depending on the Camera options ordered, the Camera Mount may not be fully assembled.
Check that all parts of the Camera Mount; refer to Figure 2-6, are assembled completely. If
you will be using a Retract Control System with the Camera, do not attach the Retract
Cylinder to the Camera until the Camera Mount installation is complete. Section 2.8.4
describes the Retract Cylinder installation.

A sufficient amount of light to provide an image is required to

properly aim the Camera. If the heat process is not in operation,
NOTE
place a flood lamp at the area of viewing interest to provide
sufficient light to aim the Camera.

After assembling the Camera Mount, follow the steps below to install it.

1. Manufacture the Collar Mount as specified in refer to Figure 2-8 using the parts
listed; refer to Table 2-4. If you expect the Camera will be mounted at an angle,
create the collar mount with the appropriate angle by using one of the following
options:
* Manufacture the Collar Mount so that the collar is at an angle.
* Mount the Collar Mount over the viewing port at an angle.

2. Weld or bolt the Collar Mount in place over the selected viewing port.
3. Connect the lens cooling air hose to the Lens Cooling Air Fitting, refer to Figure
2-7.
4. Adjust the lens cooling regulator to provide proper air pressure as measured at the
lens air gauge. Different Lens styles have different cooling air requirements; refer
to Table 2-3.

INSTALLATION

5. Connect the Camera cooling air hose to the Air Inlet, refer to Figure 2-7.
6. Adjust the Camera cooling regulator to provide 420-700kPa (60-100psi) as
measured at the regulator gauge.

The rear of the Vortex Cooler can be very hot, use caution when
WARNING
working around the back of the Camera.

7. Verify there is cooling air escaping from the Vortex Cooler, refer to Figure 2-7.
8. Connect the Camera power cable to the Power Connection, refer to Figure 2-7.
9. Attach the video cable to the Video Cable Connection, refer to Figure 2-7.
10. Connect the video cable to a monitor. It is very helpful to have the monitor at the
Camera installation site (as opposed to in the Control Room) while performing the
mounting pipe installation. You can use the Monitor supplied with the Camera
System for this, but is not necessary. Any composite monitor will do.
11. For Bracket Mounted Cameras, refer to Figure 2-6, perform the following:
a) Loosen the Knurled Knobs and slide the camera onto the Bracket Mount.
b) Push the Camera against the Sealing Flange Gasket and tighten the Knurled
Knobs.
c) Make sure that the Mounting Pipe is not visible in the camera image. If
necessary, trim the Mounting Pipe.
12. For Rail Mounted Cameras, refer to Figure 2-6, perform the following:
a) If the Camera system has a retract cylinder, ensure it is in the inserted
position. Refer to the applicable Retract Operations Manual for a detailed
description.
b) Slide the Camera onto the rail and push forward until it presses against the
Sealing Flange Gasket.
c) Make sure that the Mounting Pipe is not visible in the camera image. If
necessary, trim the Mounting Pipe.
13. Lift the Camera Mount, with the Camera attached, and slide the Mounting Pipe
into the Collar while watching the image on the monitor. Insert the Camera
Mount until the edges of the refractory wall disappear from the monitor image.
Then insert the Camera Mount another 20mm (3/4in). This extra distance will
reduce the affect that buildup around the mount has on the camera image
14. Using the bolts on the Collar Mount, adjust the Camera Mount until it is in the
desired viewing position. If you cannot attain the desired view, you will have to
move or modify the Collar Mount. Once the desired view is correct, continue
with the next step.
15. Insert high temperature packing material between the Collar and the Mounting
Pipe to prevent hot air from blowing on the Camera.
16. If a Retract Control System is part of the system, go to Section 2.8.4 to complete
the Camera installation.
