2. General Safety Instructions
Notice
Please observe the instructions and notes in the technical documentation of the camera
to be installed!
Caution
The suitability of the product for the users application with its specic condi-
tions of practice has to be tested and guaranteed by the user himself.
For special applications, please contact us in writing. We reserve the right to
make technical changes.
Caution
IP
Protection
Please follow these assembly guidelines carefully when assembling the en-
closures, as the IP protection rating stated may otherwise not be reached!
Caution
Inappropriate handling of the enclosure or any parts thereof may lead to a
leaky enclosure and may cause damage to the enclosed camera. Baumer
can take no liability for damages caused by improper handling.
Caution
The enclosures have been designed for a typical machine vision applica-
tion where the camera set-up is done once in order to build an application.
Frequent disassembly of the enclosure requires all seals and gaskets to be
renewed. Please order replacement seals or O-rings from Baumer when dis-
assembling the enclosure.
Caution
Baumer uses the best possible sealing materials for typical applications.
However every application is different - please check if our sealing material is
durable under the use intended.
Caution
Do not assemble the enclosure if any parts are damaged – this counts es-
pecially for the seals and sealing anges of the enclosure! In doubt – please
contact Baumer for advice.
Caution
Tighten the tube / rear wall as far as possible and don't use excessive force
in case it is not possible to screw the tube / rear wall completely down to the
metal middle housing part.

temperature -15 °C (-5 °F) ... 70 °C (158 °F)
Humidity 10 % ... 90 % non condensing
Ambient temperature above 50 °C (122 °F) requires heat dissipation measures.
Notice
The housing improves the temperature management for the camera in use, the environ-
mental temperature may be 5 K higher than in applications without housing.

14 V1.2 | 14/03/2022 | 11700928
3.2.2 Clamp elements assembly
The mounting with clamp elements ensures exible camera positioning and good heat
dissipation. Follow these steps for a vibration proof camera positioning.
1. Remove the blue cover foil from
the double sided adhesive heat
conductive tape.
2. Place the clamp element with the
adhesive tape on the top side of
the camera.
Notice
The alignment of the clamp
ement (straight and in the cen-
tre of the camera) determines
the orientation of the camera
inside the enclosure.
The more accurate the posi-
tioning of the clamp element,
the more accurate the camera
positioning later inside the en-
closure.

Clamp element misaligned Clamp element correctly placed (straight
and centred)

15
V1.2 | 14/03/2022 | 11700928
3. Place the quick-lock element
loose onto the opposite side of
the camera body.
No adhesive tape is required
here, as the clamp element block
already determines the camera
orientation.
4. The dot mark on the two eccen-
tric screws should face the cam-
era, prior to insertion of this as-
sembly into the enclosure prole
(otherwise the camera assembly
is too high to t into the enclo-
sure).
5. Insert the camera assembly into the enclosure. At this point, the camera cables
should already be attached to the camera.
Notice
The rubber cable gland seal insert can be mounted later – this makes it easier to
mount the camera into the enclosure! Do not forget to feed the cables though the
cable gland nut rst!

16 V1.2 | 14/03/2022 | 11700928
6. In order to secure the camera
assembly in position, turn the ec-
centric screw at the front clock-
wise or anti-clock-wise!
The clamp elements are fully ex-
tended, if the dot mark points to
the enclosure wall.
However, depending on the cam-
era tolerances, it might not be re-
quired to fully extend the clamp
elements – a quarter turn might
be sufcient. A fastening torque
of 2Nm is sufcient in order to
reach a clamping force of 900N,
so a rm but not excessive tight-
ening is recommended.
Position the lens so that it pro-
trudes no more than 23 mm from
the edge of the Housing Base
Set B, otherwise the tube will not
t!

V1.2 | 14/03/2022 | 11700928
3.2.3 Cable gland
Notice
The cable gland maintains the high IP68 rating if done carefully!
1. Position the holes evenly across
the seal insert with at least 2 mm
distance to the rim of the cable
gland and 3 mm distance be-
tween the holes. at least
3 mm
at least
2 mm
at least
2 mm
2. Drill the holes with a vertical axis
drilling machine - no hand held
ones!
Use a normal HSS drill bit, with
diameter about 0,5 mm larger
than the cable diameter (this
makes an exact hole with the soft
material).
3. After drilling, slit the seal insert
radial from the holes to the out-
side, using a sharp cutting knife.
Notice
Do not use a sawing motion,
but rather cut straight through
for a cleaner cut.

18 V1.2 | 14/03/2022 | 11700928
4. Feed the cables through the nut
and the cable gland.
5. After cable and camera position-
ing insert the cables from the side
into the seal insert. These special
pliers are helpful – alternatively
use a screwdriver to open up the
cut in the cable gland seal.
Notice
Take care not to damage the
cable gland seal during this
process!
6. Push the seal insert with the ca-
bles into the cable gland.
Tighten the cable gland nut with
the recommended fastening
torque (15 Nm).
Caution
IP
Protection
Tighten the cable glands with the recommended fastening torque. Excessive
fastening torque may damage the sealing O-rings.
Insufcient tightening torques may reduce the protective rating (i.e. from IP67
to IP54).

3.2.4 Rear wall assembly
The rear wall preparation is done ex works from Baumer. However – please note these
steps in case the rear wall has been dismantled.
Housing Base Set B with bayonet rear wall
1. Place the rear wall on the back
of the housing. To do this, insert
the protruding noses into the
grooves.
To do this, loosen the 4 screws
by approx. 1.5 mm (2 turns).

20 V1.2 | 14/03/2022 | 11700928
3. Turn the rear wall clockwise one
eighth turn (45°) until it stops.
Notice
If no stop is noticeable, then
you must tighten the screws a
little.
4. Tighten the screws crosswise
only so far that the light blue cov-
er seal is ush with the surface of
the housing.
Do not tighten the lid so tight that
the seal forms a bead and pro-
trudes over the housing!
Avoid gaps between seal and en-
closure! !
