MOBOTIXoersapolarizationlterinitsrangeofaccessoryproductsforallsensormodules
(excepttheB016).Thepolarizationlterpreventsunwantedreectionsfromsmoothsurfaces.
Theltercanbeusedtoprovidebetterfacialrecognitionofthepeoplebehindthewindshield
ofacar,forexample.Onlyoneltercanbeusedpersensormodule,whichthenreplaces
the standard protective glass lens.
Procedure
1. Position the blue lens wrench on the notches of the
protective glass lens. Rotate the wrench
tothele
until you feel a stop (max. 300°) and then a little bit
further until the protective glass lens slides out of
the sensor module.
2. Ifrequired,cleantheinsideofthelterusingaclean,
lint-free cotton cloth.
3. Placethelteronthenotchesofthebluelenswrench.
4. Positionthelterwithitsclipsoverthetworecep-
tacles on the sensor module (red arrow on the image
inthemargin)andrmlypressontothesensormod-
ule. Rotate the glass to the right using the blue lens
wrench until you feel a stop.
5. Adjust the polarizationlteraccordingtothecamera’sliveimageonthecomputer
monitor.Rotatetheltertotheleusingthebluelenswrenchuntilyoureachthe
desired setting (maximum 180°).
6. Toreadjustthepolarizationlter,rotateitbackto the right until you feel a stop and
repeat step 4.
7. Ifrequired,cleantheoutsideofthelterusingaclean,lint-freecottoncloth.
