HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Installing the Embedded Vision Kit
NOTICE
Damage Hazard: Supplying power before the hardware installation is
completed can damage camera and board components.
Only connect the power supply to the mains socket after the hardware
installation is completed.
To install the Embedded Vision Kit (refer to Figure 1):
1. Attach four spacer bolts to the bottom of the mounting plate using four
screws (M2x4) included in the mounting kit.
2. Remove the protective caps from the lens and mount the lens on the
camera.
3. Attach the camera to the mounting plate using four screws (M2x12) so
that the lens is led through the hole of the plate. Fix the screws with the
nuts.
4. Lead the flexible flat cable through the rectangular cutout of the
mounting plate.
5. Connect the flexible flat cable to the camera.

12
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
To insert the cable:
a. Push the end of the cable firmly into the FFC connector with the
ground tab facing down until the retaining tabs slide into the
recesses on both sides.
b. Flip the locking bar down to lock the FFC connector.
6. Mount the mounting plate on the mezzanine board using four screws
(M2x4).
7. Connect the flexible flat cable to the FFC connector on the mezzanine
board. Flex the cable and pass it through the second cutout of the
mounting plate.
8. Connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI connector and to the monitor.
