6.2.3.1

6.2.3.2 Cables:

Re-mount the new illuminator <instructions depend on the mount>, restore

the routing of the illuminator cable(s), and reconnect the cable to the camera or

illuminator.

Reconnect the power supply, start the application software, and check to be

sure the illuminator is producing proper output. If the mount allows the angle

of the illuminator to be adjusted, it may be necessary to adjust the angle of the

illuminator to provide the best illumination of the object of interest.

6.2.3 Cables and Lenses:

The following components are replaceable, if the substitutions are made

with components supplied by or approved by SR Research Ltd.

Camera Lenses:

Almost any C-mount lens may be used in the visible spectrum. The high-

resolution sensor in the EyeLink CL camera performs best with high-resolution

machine-vision lenses, and noticeable blurring may be seen at the edges of the

image with standard CCTV optics. Please contact SR Research if a CS-mount

lens is required for your application.

The EyeLink CL camera is optimized for near-infrared (to 910 nm) use,

however performance in this range depends critically on proper lens selection.

The majority of C-mount lenses perform poorly beyond 800 nm, with blurry

images (especially zoom lenses) or dark images due to loss from optical

coatings. Please contact SR Research for a current list of lenses we have

approved for IR use.

The illuminator cables should not be replaced with other cables without the

express permission of SR Research. The ferrites on the cable must remain in

place and be positioned within 10 cm (4”) of the camera.

The Camera cable (from the computer to the camera) may be replaced with

any compatible cable, up to 10 meters in length.
