Fastec Imaging retails its cameras through independent distributors. Fastec or its distributors can
provide the accessory items required for camera operation according to each customer’s particular
application needs.
2-2 Installing the Lens
The camera is shipped with a C-mount lens adaptor installed and adjusted at the factory. To install a
C-mount lens, follow these steps:
1. Select a C-mount lens for use with the camera.
NOTE: There are many C-mount lens formats and focal lengths available. The 22.9mm diagonal sensor
of the IL3100S is larger than the light circle produced by many C-mount lenses. This is especially true
for wide angle lenses, but it is dependent on lens design and format. Vignetting (darkening at the
corners or edges of the image), will occur when the image on the sensor, the size and location of
which is dependent on resolution and image offset, is not covered by the image circle of the lens. (See
“Table 2-2: Lens Selection”.)
2. Remove the lens receptacle cover from the camera’s C-mount. This is a cover that is installed at
the factory to protect the camera optics and sensor from dust contamination.
NOTE: Whenever threading lenses on or off the camera, face the camera lens down so that any
contamination on the threads will tend to fall away from the camera rather than into it.
3. Thread the C-mount lens into the lens mount located in the front of the camera. DO NOT over-
tighten the lens! The lens should be “finger tight” only--just tight enough that you can adjust
focus and aperture without unscrewing the lens.
NOTE: Limit the time between removal of the receptacle cover and installation of the lens. Dust could
settle on the face of the sensor cover glass and degrade the image quality.
