Installing Your Board-level Dragonfly Camera

 1. Prepare the Lens Mount

The board-level models can use CS-mounts or S-mounts.

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 the locking bracket (optional)

An optional bracket (ACC-01-0020) can be installed over the interface connector for locking the USB3 cable to the camera.

4. Install a Heatsink

A heatsink is mandatory for board-level and partial cased models.

5. Connect the interface Card and Cable to the camera

Plug the interface cable into the host controller card and the camera. If using a locking bracket, the cable jack screws can be used for a secure connection.

6. Attach a Lens

Unscrew the dust cap from the lens holder to install a lens.

7. Plug in the GPIO connector if required

GPIO can be used for trigger and strobe.

8. Confirm Successful Installation

When the camera is first connected, the operating system automatically installs the camera driver. Camera drivers are available with the Spinnaker SDK installation.
