2.1 Camera
NOTE : A lens cap is installed on each camera to keep dust from getting on the optical sensor or
components when it is shipped. Remove the lens cap and install your lens in a dust free
environment.
2.1.1 Mounting the Camera
The Mega Plus camera has two ¼-20 threaded screw holes for mounting purposes on the bottom
of the camera body (see Figure 2-1). There are two secondary holes, 0.23 inches (5.84 mm) in
diameter, to accommodate a locating pin. There are complete dimensional drawings at the end
of Chapter 4 of this manual.

2.1.2 Attaching the Lens
The camera can be purchased with either a C-mount or F-mount lens adapter. If your camera is
equipped with an F-mount lens adapter, insert the lens into the locking ring, then rotate the lens
counterclockwise until it clicks into position. To remove the lens, hold the release button down as
you rotate the lens clockwise.
If your camera is equipped with a C-mount lens adapter, screw the lens clockwise into the
adapter until you are no longer able to turn the lens with light pressure.
CAUTION
: Some C-mount lenses may extend into the camera more than 0.20 inches
(5.08 mm), which may cause damage to internal optical components. Check the
dimension of any lens you plan to use as shown in Figure 2-2.
