Mount the Vision System

Note:
  • For the mounting holes closest to the lens opening, the thread length of the M3 screw should not exceed 4.5mm. For the mounting holes closest to the connectors, the thread length of the M3 screw should not exceed 1.6mm. This does not include the thickness of the mounting material used. For more information, refer to 8200 and 8400 Series Vision System and 8405 Vision System.
  • The accessory mounting kit includes a mounting block and M3 screws (quantity 4) for mounting the vision system and securing it to a mounting surface. The mounting block also provides 1/4-20 and M6 mounting holes for attaching the vision system to a mounting surface. For more information, refer to 8200 and 8400 Series Vision System with Mounting Block (BKT-IS8K-01) and 8405 Vision System with Mounting Block (BKT-IS8K-01).
  • It is recommended that the vision system be grounded, either by mounting the vision system to a fixture that is electrically grounded or by attaching a wire from the vision system's mounting fixture to frame ground or Earth ground.

  1. Align the holes on the mounting surface with the mounting holes on the vision system.
  2. Insert the M3 screws into the mounting holes and tighten using a 2.5mm hex wrench; the maximum torque is 0.3 Nm (2.5 in-lb).
