for the deluxe color camera and overlays the direction information on these images as well.
The system consists of the pan & tilt unit, a master cable, an interface module, Ethernet Module, and all
necessary power, video and bench test cables.
The payload houses the imaging devices and GPS. The imaging devices include a video stabilized
infrared camera and a video stabilized visual color camera capable of low light mode.
Features
Imaging System:
The M1-Werewolf-14-07 Imaging System is capable of upright human detection from a distance of
17km. The system is configured in desert tan color.
The Primary payload includes a 640x512 pixel, 20,000 hour cooled MWIR thermal imager with a f/4
40mm to 825mm, 14.36o to 0.67o Horizontal Field of View 21x continuous zoom germanium lens
(electric auto focus). The thermal camera includes Local Area Processing for enhanced contrast and edge
sharpening.
The Secondary payload includes a high performance 2.2m pixel progressive scan CMOS visual sensor
system with 15.1mm to 500mm, 18.9o to 0.61o Horizontal Field of View 33x optical zoom with electric
auto focus.
All sensors are mounted in tools-free/cable-free environmentally sealed and heated payload enclosures
with NTSC video output. The payload assemblies are mounted on a ruggedized Pan and Tilt positioning
stage with zero backlash drive components and encoders for .0009 positioning accuracy. The azimuth
rotation features a slip ring to allow 360o continuous rotation at variable slew speeds of 0.002o to
100o/sec. Positioner has center mount stage for mounting ground radar and is configured to slew camera
to radar alarms upon auto or manual command.
M1-Werewolf 14-07 Imaging System 7
Setup Guide and User Manual
The system includes an Interface Module V4, Ethernet Transmitter Module with Radar Interface, 1500W
Power Supply, PC serial interface cable, 100-foot master cable assembly, radar cables, BNC/RCA video
cables, and an Ethernet network cable
IntrudIR Alert® middleware is designed to be controlled by a single user, using a simple but flexible PC
interface, along with a rugged hand-controller. This interface allows the user to operate and monitor all
system functionality, including selection of scan area (for long range panoramic imaging), alarm regions
and direct control of the long range/assessment imaging payload. Any given region can be expanded and
examined by simply ‘clicking’ on the appropriate area of the panoramic image; target tracking can also be
initiated in a similar way. With optional laser range finders, the system will provide MGRS coordinates
of selected targets; targets are displayed on both the panoramic image, and on a geo-referenced overhead
map display, providing an easy to understand representation of the data. Data can be recorded, logged,
and replayed, and alarming/tracking data can be both sent to or received from external sensor systems.
The system provides highly programmable control of the imaging system, target geo-location, and
panoramic imaging functionality. Ground radars, UGS, additional imaging sensors along with just about
any published command and control protocol can be integrated seamlessly into the IntrudIR Alert ®
architecture. One copy of IntrudIR Alert® will be supplied for fixed site applications (PC to be supplied
by the Customer). IntrudIR Alert will be supplied with upgrades at no charge for (1) one year from date
of delivery. Any future sensor integration will be at no charge if sensors have previously been integrated
by IEC. New sensor integration requiring development costs will be quoted as needed.

Setup Guide and User Manual
Hardware Assembly
Important: Make sure all power switches are in the Off position prior to assembly, and
do not power the system until all hardware connections have been made.
Caution: The payloads can be heavy and care must be taken when mounting the payloads
to the positioner. Two people may be required. Each payload has a webbing guide to
facilitate lifting the payload into place if necessary with proper rigging.
The Primary (PN: E000759-C12) and Secondary (PN: E000822-C12) Payloads can be attached to the
Imager at this time. (Illustration 1) The M1-Werewolf 14-07 Imaging System includes removable
payloads to allow the user to easily remove and replace payloads without the use of tools. Care should be
taken to ensure the payloads are carefully aligned and connected to the Blind Mate connector and securely
fastened to the positioner with the blind mate clamp. All power, control and video signals are passed
through the blind mate. This procedure is further defined below.
To install a Payload Assembly on the Positioner Assembly, simply slide the payload horizontally onto the
Positioner Assembly. Note there are security screws to prevent payloads from being installed in an
incorrect configuration. (Illustration 2)
While supporting the Payload Assembly, use your thumb to push up on and engage the
V-Band clamp.
Align the clamping T-Bolt with the slot in the clamping arm, and engage the V-Band
clamp.
Secure the safety catch on the V-Band clamp
To remove the Payload Assembly from the Positioner Assembly, the following steps should be followed:
The Payload Assembly may be removed either while the imager is mounted to a
permanent structure, or on a suitable surface, such as a workbench. In either case, be
sure the imager is secured to prevent damage to either the Positioner Assembly or the
Payload Assembly.
Make sure that the Power Switch on the Hand Controller is in the “Off” position, and
that the interface box power cable is disconnected.
Locate and release the safety catch on the V-Band clamp.
While supporting the Payload Assembly, unlatch the V-Band clamp.
The V-Band clamp should slightly drop to allow for the hubs to be dis-mated. If not,
gently push down on the V-Band until clear of the hub.
Slide the Payload Assembly horizontally away from the Positioner Assembly.
Care should be taken to prevent damage to the circuit boards located inside the Payload
Assembly Hub and the Positioner Assembly Hub, once removed. As these boards are
electrical components, they must be protected from environmental damage.

Setup Guide and User Manual
Cable Connections
Important: Each connector should be tightened to the point where no more than three
threads are showing. This may require gently rocking the connector, twisting, and
repeating until the correct position and tightness is achieved. For Quarter-turn Mil-Spec
connectors there will be an audible click heard, as well as felt when properly connected.
Master Cable
The Master Cable (PN: E000026-L100) can be connected to the Master Cable connector on the bottom of
the Positioner through the Pedestal access porthole. Note that Pin A of the connector on the bottom of the
Positioner is keyed toward the front so that when viewing the Master Cable socket (female) end, Socket A
will also face toward the front of the system when properly keyed. This will facilitate connecting the
Master Cable to the Positioner through the Pedestal access porthole (Illustration 4). Care should be taken
so that the cable is not bent at severe angles or kinked during installation or after. Cables should be
routed and secured to prevent stress to the connector and cable ends after installation, and should not be
used to support the weight of other user provided cables.
M1-Werewolf 14-07 Imaging System 14
Setup Guide and User Manual
Power Requirements
The system is designed to operate at 120/240 VAC for fixed site applications. The system ships with
standard NEMA 110 VAC plugs. All power conditioning and distribution is handled internally in the
control electronics.
The connector (pin) end of the Master Cable coming from the Imaging System can be connected
to the TSM master cable receptacle (note the label on TSM). Align the cable and receptacle
master keys and tighten the connector to the TSM until secure. Care should be taken so that the
cable is not bent at severe angles or kinked during installation or after. Cables should be routed
and secured to prevent stress to the connector and cable ends after installation, and should not be
used to support the weight of other user provided cables.
Important: Each connector should be tightened to the point where no more than three
threads are showing. This may require gently rocking the connector, twisting, and
repeating until the correct position and tightness is achieved. For Quarter-turn Mil-Spec
connectors there will be an audible click heard, as well as felt when properly connected.
Additionally, one end of each of the video BNC-BNC cables (PN: E000033-L010) should be connected
to the Interface Module VIDEO 1 and 2 respectively.
As an option, the PC Serial Cable (PN: E000030-L012) can be connected to the SERIAL 1 or 2 connector
of the Interface Module and to a PC for local access to the imaging system.
The Serial Hand Controller is connected to the Interface Module Serial port 1 or 2, using the 15’
Serial Cable (PN: E000031-L015).
M1-Werewolf 14-07 Imaging System 16
Setup Guide and User Manual
The module also provides power and a communications interface to the Radar Unit. The
electronics are protected by a (AGC 6A, 250V) fuse that is user replaceable from the external
fuse holder.
The 10ft BNC-BNC video cables can be connected from the Interface Module VIDEO 1 and 2 to the
Ethernet Transmitter Module VIDEO IN 1 and 2 respectively.
Processed and raw video outputs from the imaging system can be sent to an external monitor using BNC-
RCA cables (PN: E000034-L010) from the VIDEO OUT 1 and 2 respectively.
The 100ft RADAR cable can be connected to the RADAR INTERFACE connector on the ETM (if
applicable)
The Ethernet cable (PN: V000127-L010) connects between one of the IP Interface ports to a PC interface
or to a router for a network system.
The Serial Cable (PN: E000031-L010) female end can be connected to the SERIAL INTERFACE
connector of the Ethernet Transmitter Module.
Important: The serial cable acts as a power switch for the system. The system cannot be
powered unless a serial cable is connected to the Interface Box. If the system is powered,
disconnecting the serial cable from the Interface Box will disable the system.
Reconnecting the serial cable to the interface box, if all other cables are connected and
power is still applied, will power the system and perform its initial homing routine.
M1-Werewolf 14-07 Imaging System 17
Setup Guide and User Manual
As a precaution, the male end of the Serial Cable will be used to connect to the Interface Module SERIAL
1 or 2 connector during power up, after final inspection of system connections is completed.
Note if both the Serial Hand Controller (SHC) and the ETM-R are connected to the Interface Module with
their respective serial cables, once the system is powered on, the user can interact with the Imaging
System using the SHC even though the power switch is in the off position, the Power LED will be On.
Power Supply
Important: At this time, the power supply switch should be verified in the OFF position
before connecting power cables to the control electronics.
The Power Supply (PN: E000037-V002) provides up to 1500W of power at 30 VDC to the
imaging system and Radar Unit.
The DC power cables from the power supply can be connected to the INPUT POWER connector on the
Interface Module as well as the POWER connector on the Ethernet Transmitter Module.
Ensure that the Imager, payloads, and RADAR and all associated electronics enclosures are securely
fastened to a suitable work surface. The system performs a homing routine once power is applied and
care should be taken to ensure a clear operating envelope.
Once satisfied that all connections have been made, power can be applied to the system. Using the 10ft
serial MIL x MIL cable, connect the male end to the Interface Module. After plugging in the power
supply to the appropriate power source, apply power to the system by turning the power supply switch on
which will power up the system and begin the homing routine.
Once the homing routine has finished, the system will be available for use. Note: the Thermal Camera
will require a short time to cooldown and initialize before a thermal image is accessible.
M1-Werewolf 14-07 Imaging System 18
Setup Guide and User Manual
IP Addressing
Certain devices within the M1-Werewolf 14-07 Imaging System use Ethernet communications for data
and video transfer. As such, each device is required to have a unique IP Address. For any devices that
uses IP Addressing, a label with the factory set IP Address (as well as an area for the end user to denote a
different IP Address if they change it) will be attached to the device. The end user can use a permanent
marker to indicate the new IP Address on the label for documentation and record keeping. This can be
washed off with isopropyl alcohol.
If any device network IP addressing maintenance is required or issues should be encountered, please
contact IEC Infrared Systems Customer Service for assistance. Please keep a record of assigned IP
addresses for each device.
System Operation
The following sections describe operation of the system using the hand controller. Some systems do not
ship with hand controllers for local use. For systems using IntrudIR Alert, please reference the M1-
Werewolf Imaging System IntrudIR Alert User Manual. All operations described below can be done
using the IntrudIR Alert software interface.
Camera Movement
Manual Motion
The movement of the camera head is controlled using the joystick on the hand controller. Pushing the
joystick causes the imager to move in the direction indicated. Moving it forward causes the camera to tilt
up, while moving it back causes the camera to tilt down. Similarly, pushing the joystick to the left will
pan the camera head counterclockwise, and pushing the joystick right will pan the camera clockwise.
The speed at which the imager moves is proportional to how far the joystick is moved; full deflection of
the joystick will cause the imager to move in that direction at its greatest possible speed, while smaller
deflections will cause the imager to move at slower speeds.
Note that pan and tilt motions can be made simultaneously by moving the joystick at angles other than
directly forward/backward or left/right. For example, moving the joystick both left and forward causes
the imager to simultaneously rotate counterclockwise and to tilt upward.
M1-Werewolf 14-07 Imaging System 20
Setup Guide and User Manual
Automatic Motion
The camera can automatically pan between two positions using the auto-pan function.
NOTE: YOU MUST ROTATE THE CAMERA THROUGH THE SAME PATH YOU WISH
TO USE FOR THE AUTO-PAN MOTION. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU SET THE LEFT LIMIT
FIRST, YOU MUST ROTATE THE CAMERA TO THE RIGHT IN ORDER TO SET THE
RIGHT LIMIT. THUS, IF YOU WISH THE CAMERA TO AUTO-PAN 360 DEGREES, YOU
MUST MANUALLY ROTATE THE CAMERA THE FULL 360 DEGREES. FAILURE TO
DO SO WILL RESULT IN THE MESSAGE “INVALID LIMITS” WHEN STARTING AUTO-
PAN.
The camera speed cannot be adjusted once the Set button is released.
Go to Home Position
Once the Home Position has been set, the user can instruct the camera to move to that position
by moving the function dial to the Home setting, then pressing the Set button. This will move
the camera to the Home Position at maximum speed.
IR Camera Settings
Infrared Camera Selection
To select the infrared camera as the primary video source, toggle the Video switch to the Infrared
position.
IR Optical Zoom
The IR video Imager can provide continuous optical zoom by changing the lens focal length using the
Field of View (FOV) switch. To optically zoom in on a target, move the FOV switch towards Narrow.
To optically zoom out and display more of the field of view, move the FOV switch towards Wide.
Focus
The focus setting can be changed by activating and holding the Focus switch on the hand controller in the
appropriate direction (either Near or Far) until the desired focus is achieved.
Polarity
The Polarity switch on the hand controller determines whether light or dark shades are used for either
warm or cool objects. Using the gray scale color palette, the White Hot setting will cause the warmer
objects to appear as lighter shades of gray in the image, while the cool objects will appear as darker
M1-Werewolf 14-07 Imaging System 22
Setup Guide and User Manual
shades of gray. The Black Hot setting simply inverts this, so the warm objects will appear darker and the
cool objects appear lighter. The polarity may be reversed in conjunction with the different color palettes
that are available; this will invert the color palettes described in the colorization section below.
Auto/Manual Settings
When the Settings switch on the hand controller is in the Auto position, the gain and level settings will be
automatically optimized by the camera itself. When in the Manual position, the gain and level settings can
be adjusted manually.
Gain/Level
When the Settings switch is set to Manual, the gain and level of the IR image can be adjusted using the
Gain and FSN Thresh/ Level switches on the hand controller. Gain controls the contrast of the image.
Level controls the brightness of the image.
Note that increasing the Level increases the amount of white or bright colors in the image, and decreasing
Level makes the image darker, regardless of whether the Polarity is in White Hot or Black Hot mode.
Colorization
The IR camera presents an image which shows the intensity of the thermal scene in gray scale. However,
the image can be enhanced with user-selectable colorization schemes. There are five palettes available:
Gray Scale (no colorization)
Green
Yellow
Rainbow
Gray to Red
Furthermore, each of these palettes may be reversed using the Polarity function described above.
To access the palettes with the hand controller, set the selector dial to Color. Then use the Set button to
