This section provides step by step instructions for installing the IR Thermography system.
-
Mount the IR cRIO enclosure at the planned location.
-
Mount the IR camera enclosure(s) at the planned location(s).
-
Install the conduit and run cable between the IR cRIO enclosure and the camera enclosure(s).
-
Install the conduits and run cables for AC power inputs to the cRIO enclosure and camera enclosure(s). Minimum circuit size: 20A circuit free of non-linear loads. Consider a circuit with isolated ground.
-
Install the conduit and run cable for data connection to the cRIO enclosure. Cutsforth recommends Cat6a or fiber connection (media converter required if using fiber).
-
Connect protective earth conductor per local electrical codes.
-
Install wire for 120 – 240VAC supply per local electrical codes.
-
If required by local electrical codes, install an external switch or circuit breaker near the equipment. Ensure equipment is positioned so that it will not be difficult to operate the external disconnecting device.

The Cutsforth ESA Monitoring System is designed to be integrated into InsightCMTM software. For more information on InsightCMTM, including specific server requirements, visit the InsightCMTM README on the Cutsforth Support webpage at https://support.cutsforth.com.
The plant must provide a PC or Server for InsightCMTM meeting the requirements listed at the above link. Cutsforth is not responsible for the configuration of server-side deployment. Ensure the plant's InsightCMTM server is set up and ready for communication to field equipment in advance of system commissioning by Cutsforth.
