Mount the Camera
Note :
l
For the mounting holes closest to the lens opening, the thread length
of the M3 screw should not exceed 4.5mm. For the mounting holes
closest to the connectors, the thread length of the M3 screw should
not exceed 1.6mm. This does not include the thickness of the
mounting material used.
l
The accessory mounting kit includes a mounting block and M3 screws
(quantity 4) for mounting the camera and securing it to a mounting
surface. The mounting block also provides 1/4-20 and M6 mounting
holes for attaching the camera to a mounting surface.
l
It is recommended that the camera be grounded, either by mounting
the camera to a fixture that is electrically grounded or by attaching a
wire from the camera's mounting fixture to frame ground or Earth
ground.
1. Align the holes on the mounting surface with the mounting holes on the
camera.
2. Insert the M3 screws into the mounting holes and tighten using a 2.5mm hex
wrench; the maximum torque is 0.3 Nm (2.5 in-lb).
Install the Lens
1. Remove the protective film covering the threaded lens opening, if present.
2. Attach a C-Mount lens to the camera. The exact lens focal length needed
depends on the working distance and the field of view required for your
machine vision application.
