Installation

NOTES:

• For detailed instructions, refer to the IX Series Installation/Operation manual (C2950M) or IXE Series
Installation/Operation manual (C2953M) available on the resource disc.

• Megapixel lenses are designed and tested to deliver optimal image quality to the IX Series and IXE
Series megapixel cameras. A standard definition lens installed on a megapixel camera will limit the
resolution of the camera and create poor image quality.

1. Install the lens:

a. Make sure the lens does not touch the camera imager when installed.

b. Screw the lens onto the lens mount. Be careful to prevent dust from entering the space

between the lens and the imager. If necessary, use clean, compressed air to remove any
foreign matter (refer to the instructions shipped with the lens).

c. Connect the auto iris lens to the 4-pin connector located on the side of the camera. Refer to

Figure 2 for pin designation and iris drive connector information.

2. Mount the camera in the desired location. The camera can be mounted from either the top or
bottom, depending on the type of camera mount used in your installation. Use a standard 1/4-20
screw. The maximum thread depth is 0.25 inches (6.4 mm).

NOTE: When installing inside an enclosure, mount the camera in an inverted position to allow easy
access to the service connector. Use the camera software to reconfigure the camera orientation for
normal operation.
