Installing a filter into the mount

-
See Figure 34 above (blue = filter, red = filter recess).
-
See Table 90 above for dimensions of suitable filter glasses.
2. Reinsert the fixing ring into the adapter.
3. Fix the ring with the three cylinder bolts. Note there are three sets of threads
to suit filter glasses of different thickness.
-
Tighten the bolts with a max. torque of 0.25 Nm.
Attaching the mount to the camera
1. Screw the adapter into the camera.
2. Tighten the locking screw with a max. torque of 0.1 Nm.
(Observe for Goldeye Cool housing only)
When used with the Goldeye models with Cool housing, the mount adapter is
secured by two locking screws on the side of the camera. The thread in the mount
adapter needs to be closed with a thread plug to avoid light incidence.
To apply the thread plug to a C-Mount adapter, follow the steps below.
•
Push the thread plug through the locking thread, from front to back, until the
end lines up with the adapters front plane.
•
Cut off the excess length on the backside of the mount adapter with a sharp
knife or scissors.
For more information refer to the instruction leaflet 10683004 Applying a tapered
thread plug to a C-Mount adapter.
