Opening/Closing the Camera Housing

The following tasks require opening the camera housing and removing the front element of the M16 in order to get to the interior of the camera:

Inserting the security clips

, exchanging the Ethernet patch cable

, connecting the 

MxBus

 two-wire line

, connecting the USB cable, exchanging the MicroSD 

card (see also «Inserting/Exchanging the SD Card» on page 2).

CAUTION: 

Make sure the power supply to the camera is disconnected before opening the housing!

1. Opening the Camera Housing

Place the camera face-down on a clean and dry surface. Remove the two 
rubber plugs at the back of the camera housing. Using the supplied 5 mm 
Allen wrench, loosen the two bolts at the back of the camera housing. 
Leave the bolts and washers in the camera housing.
Using the Allen wrench, 

cautiously 

push from behind 

in an alternating 

fashion

 onto the left and the right bolt 

1

 and push the front element 

out of the front of the housing.

Tilt the front element forward as shown in the figure 

2

.

2. Inserting the Security Clips

To protect the modules against unwanted removal, insert the two red 
security clips at the insides of the sensor modules at the proper location 
(

1

 inserted, 

2

 locked). Make sure that the security clips are properly 

locked in their seatings 

3

.

3. Closing the Camera Housing

Before inserting the front element, make sure that the sensor module cables 
of both image sensors are running at the 

inside

 of the screw bore 

1

.

Place the camera on its right side (as seen by the camera) as shown and 
insert the front element. When pushing the front element into the housing 
(

2

, red arrows), take care not to crush any cables.

When inserting and closing the front element, take special care to guide 

the cable of the left sensor module under the rubber hook 

3

!

Press the front element into the camera housing by evenly applying pres-
sure 

4

. Tighten the screws with washers.

Finally, apply the rubber plugs at the back of the housing that you removed 
earlier.

Preparing the M16 for Installation

To facilitate the installation of the camera, you should complete the following tasks before actually installing the camera.

1. CAUTION!

• 

Only exchange sensor modules when powered off!

•  When operating the camera with only one sensor module, always 

install the supplied blind module. No operation with transport plugs!

•  Thermal sensor modules are always pre-installed and cannot be removed!

2. Installing the Sensor Modules

Remove the plastic nut from the sensor module 

1

. Remove the transport 

plugs 

2

.

Push the sensor module cable plug into the connector at the back of the 

module housing 

3

. Secure the plug using the blue bayonet catch as 

shown 

4

.

Insert the sensor module. Make sure that the MOBOTIX lettering on the 

sensor module is at the “9 o'clock” position as shown in the figure 

5

 . 

Place the back of the black module wrench onto the two holes of the 

sensor module 

6

.

Using the black module wrench, turn the sensor module clockwise until 

it stops  

7

. If desired, insert the two security clips 

8

. Open the camera 

housing as described in «Opening/Closing the Camera Housing».

M16 with one blind module:

Connections and Initial Operation of the M16

You can find detailed information on the 

installation

 and 

connections

 of the M16 in the M15 Camera Manual (PDF, available on 

www.mobotix.com

 > 

Support > Download Center > Documentation > Manuals

).

Please note that the position of the SD card holder has changed (see figure below, at the right), the boot options of this camera have changed compared 
to its predecessor (see «Boot Options of the M16» on page 2) and the camera only has one key ("L").

Regarding the rest of the 

initial operation

 of the M16, please see the M15 Camera Manual in Chapter 3, «Initial Operation». The first access follows the 

procedure described in the same manual in the section «Initial Operation of the Camera». All other tasks require access to the camera’s user interface in 
the browser. Enter the camera’s IP address into the address bar of the browser (user "admin", password "meinsm"; password must be changed upon first 
login – camera software V5.1.x and higher).
