NI 177x Smart Camera User Manual

Mounting Information

This chapter provides information about mounting the NI 177x Smart
Camera or attaching a light mount.

Caution

f you choose not to mount the NI 177x Smart Camera to a thermally conductive

structure, do not position the device with the heat sinks resting on any surface. Doing so
may violate the thermal requirements of the device and cause the device to overheat. Refer
to Appendix A,

Specifications

, for temperature specifications.

Figures 8-1 through 8-4 provide the dimensional drawings necessary to
create a custom mount for the NI 177x Smart Camera.
