Chapter 5: Hardware Configuration
This chapter provides information about the installation and configuration of a
NIRvana HS camera system.
CAUTION!
!
Overexposure Protection: Cameras that are exposed to
room light or other continuous light sources will quickly
become saturated. Set the lens to the smallest aperture (i.e.,
highest f-number,) and cover the lens with a lens cap to
prevent overexposure. Saturation is not harmful to a
non-intensified camera, but it should be avoided.
5.1 Attach Lens to the C-Mount Adapter
NIRvana HS cameras for imaging applications incorporate an integrated C-mount
adapter.
Each NIRvana HS camera is shipped with a protective dust cover screwed into the
C-mount adapter opening. Simply unscrew the dust cover, store it, and then screw the
desired lens in. Tighten the lens by hand only.
5.2 Adjusting the C-Mount Adapter
The NIRvana HS features an adjustable C-mount adapter that allows the focal depth to
be changed.
Perform the following procedure to adjust the C-mount adapter:
1. Using the hex wrench supplied with the system (or a 0.050" hex wrench) loosen the
setscrew securing the adapter. See Figure 5-1 .
