Installing Your Blackfly S

1. Prepare the lens mount.

The board-level models can use C-mounts, CS-mounts, or S-mounts.
For C- and CS-mounts, install the retainer, flip over and place IR filter in it then install the gasket.

 

2. Remove sticker and install lens mount.

The sensor is covered with a protective sticker. Remove the sticker. If any residue is present, clean the sensor surface with a non-abrasive cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol cleaning solution. Immediately install the image board over the prepared lens mount.

3. Install a heat sink.

A heatsink (ACC-01-7000) is recommended but depends on your design and usage.

4. Connect the FPC cable to the panel mount adapter then connect the adapter to the interface card.


A TF38 to FPC RJ45 PoE panel mount adapter allows a GigE cable connection to a PC.

5. Attach a Lens

6. Plug in the GPIO connector if required

Run the SpinView application: Start->All Programs->Spinnaker->SpinView
The SpinView application can be used to test the camera's image acquisition capabilities.
