4.1Camera Dimensions and Mounting Facilities

The CAM/CMOS – 2K.LS camera housing is manufactured with high precision. Planar, parallel, and angular sides guarantee precise mounting with high repeatability.

The CAM/CMOS – 2K.LS is equipped with four M4 mounting holes on the front and two M4 mounting holes on one side and on the bottom of the camera.

Use caution in the following ways to avoid stripping threads or stressing the case:

•Use only M4 screws -- do not try other metric approximation size screws

•Do not over torque; do not over tighten screws beyond the depth of the holes; do not otherwise force screws or create a bending moment with them

•Use caution in crafting mounting brackets so that you do not interfere with the lens, or exert force on the lens extender tube barrel, or torque or otherwise place force on any of the connectors on the back of the case. A "L" mounting bracket (figure 4.4) is available; contact your Fairchild Imaging representative for more details.
