NOTE
: When using a 2-sided connector cable, the pins on both sides have a 1-1 connection based on
the pin numbering. Therefore, the cables do not have a specific connection direction. Please make
sure that all cables are securely connected and stowed away safely before operating any machinery.
Mounting the device
The device can be mounted to a setup by using one or more of the 8 mounting holes (M5, thread
depth 10mm), located on the front plate of the device. Please make sure that the device is firmly
secured and vibrations in the mounting setup cannot cause the mounting to loosen or release during
operation. An optional mounting bracket is available for easy adjustment of the beam orientation
(see Appendix D, for ordering information).

bracket.
Device orientation
There many orientations possible for light exposure. However, with shiny surfaces, direct reflections
of the shiny surface (so called “specular reflections”) can inhibit accurate inspection (
situation in
Configuration 1). A preferred configuration for shiny surfaces is shown in Configuration 2, where the
CamStrobe is placed at an angle. In this case, only the diffuse scattering of the surface can reach the
camera, resulting in a clear image without specular reflections. An additional advantage is that the
camera can be placed perpendicular to the surface and the images have no perspective deformation
or distance blur, as can be the case in Configuration 1.
