Installation

4 .1 

Scope of supply

Each Cube delivery contains the following parts:

 

•

Ordered version of the Cube

 

•

12 V DC power supply unit with the appropriate connector

 

•

Ethernet cable (Cat. 6a)

 

•

L-shaped mounting bracket

4 .2 

Mounting

The Cube may only be operated after it has been installed on a mount. The supplied aluminum 
mounting bracket can be used for this (see “Fig. 7 Example of the Cube mounted on a tripod 
using the supplied mounting bracket” on page 21), or a mount prepared by the user can be 
used as well. The mount must be designed in such a way that it dissipates the heat generated 
by the Cube.

ATTENTION

Electromagnetic radiation can damage the Cube .

 

•

Do not place the Cube in the immediate vicinity of sources of 
strong electromagnetic fields or strong magnets.
