Introduction
This document describes how to mount a lens tube on an IDS camera. It covers the following lens tubes:
BE00028 lens tube 65 mm, Ø 70 mm
BE00029 lens tube 77 mm, Ø 70 mm
BE00030 lens tube 97 mm, Ø 70 mm
NOTICE!
For mounting these lens tubes, also BE00034 tube flange, Ø 70 mm is required.
IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH assume no liability for defects if the lens tube was improperly
mounted or dismounted by the customer or a third party.
Prerequisites
Before mounting the tube, store the camera, lens, lens tube, and tube flange in a cool, dry place for a while. This will
prevent condensation on the inside of the lens tube after mounting.
Mounting the lens tube
Note on the tube thread and the camera thread
Check the thread in the tube and the thread at the front part of the camera for damage before mounting.
Use only undamaged parts.
A damaged thread leads to leakage of the camera.
Note on the O-ring seal at the tube thread
Check the O-ring seal for damage before mounting a protective lens tube. If you will be using the camera
without a lens tube for a prolonged time, remove the O-ring seal and store it away from light, as UV light
and ozone can cause the O-ring seal to become porous.
NOTICE!
If you need to grease the O-ring seal, use only a thin lubricant film of silicone grease.
Proceed as follows:
Mount the
tube flange on your IDS camera until the tube flange is screwed tightly onto the camera
housing. The tube flange has an edge so that there is a small gap between the camera housing and the
flange surface.
Mount your lens.
Mount the lens tube on the tube flange. The lens tube is tight if it is screwed flush on the tube flange.
