It is also important to select a lens that is suitable for the field-of-view in which the cam‐
era should measure. Select a high-quality 1" C-mount lens that gives sharp images and
low distortion, as this can be essential for achieving a successful vision application.
If needed, you can mount a protective cover that makes the camera compliant with
IP65 and IP67. For available brackets, filters, lenses, and protective cover,

Exactly how to mount the camera and the laser depends on a whole number of factors.

5.3.1
Mounting an optical filter or a Scheimpflug adapter
On delivery, there is a dummy filter in the camera to protect the sensor. When you
mount an optical filter or a Scheimpflug adapter, you remove the dummy filter so that
the sensor is unprotected. Make sure to be in a dust-free environment and pay special
attention to cleanliness.
Mounting an optical filter
1.
Use the provided tool and remove the dummy filter.
2.
Mount the optical filter.
NOTICE
Do not remove the dummy filter without mounting another filter.
•
Using the camera without a filter can damage the sensor.
•
The distance from the lens to the image sensor is adapted to the thickness of
the optical filter. Without a filter, the focusing of the lens may not work prop‐
erly.
