Dimensions
The following are the recommended dimensions for installation.
The camera angle (A) and distance from the pole to the center of
the measurement area (D) vary depending on pole height (H).
Note: If you are not using the pole, the camera height (H),
measured from the front center of the camera, should be
≈1.5 m / ≈5 ft or ≈1.8 m / ≈ 6 ft.
Before You Begin
Determine where you will place the stand and if the cables will
exit through the bottom of the stand (going through the mount-
ing surface) or the side of the stand.
Prepare the Mounting Surface
Use the stand clamp as a template to trace and drill 4 holes (12
mm diameter) in the mounting surface.
Note: If the cables will exit through the bottom of the pole and
through the mounting surface, you must also drill the
center hole of the stand clamp large enough to pull the
cable(s) through.
Pole Height (H) Camera Angle (A) Distance (D)
≈160 cm / ≈5.25 ft ≈30° ≈63 cm / ≈2 ft
≈190 cm / ≈6.25 ft ≈45° ≈133 cm / ≈4.3 ft

Adjust Pole Height
Pole height (H) is measured from the top of the pole to the top of
the measurement area or scale.
1. Loosen the screws on each side of the pole
(4x) using an Allen wrench.
2. Slide the pole up to the desired height.
3. Tighten screws on each side of the pole to
secure the pole.
4. Pull the camera cable out of the bottom of
the pole until approximately 25 cm (10 in)
remain exposed at the top of the pole so it
can be attached to the camera later.
5. Cut the cable covers to the length needed to
cover the cable channels on the pole. Snap
into cable channels.
Note: Cut the cable cover for the back side of the
pole sightly shorter than the others so that
the camera cable can exit and be
connected to the camera.

Route the Cables

To route the cables out of the side:
1. Pull up the stand cover - some resistance is normal.
2. Pull the cables up and through the side exit on the pole.

Install the AutoCube Camera
1. Angle the clamp on the top of the pole perpendicular to the
pole. Turn the knob to loosen the clamp.
2. Insert the ball of the camera into the clamp. Make sure the
camera is right side up (Honeywell logo on front right side
up). Adjust the camera to the correct angle (A) from the pole
(see Dimensions at the beginning of this document).
3. Turn the knob to tighten the clamp. Be sure it is tight
enough so that the camera will not move.
4. Attach the USB cable at the top of the pole to the camera.
Secure the cable to the camera by tightening the screws by
hand.
Note: Be sure the camera is horizontal to the measurement area
and aimed directly at the area.
Caution: DO NOT remove the protective foam during
installation.

1. Rotate the stand assembly upright on the mounting sur-
face. Align stand base to previously drilled holes.
Note: If cables exit through the bottom of the pole, pull them
through the mounting surface.
2. Place washers on the stand base then the mounting bolts
through the stand base and mounting surface. Thread into
the stand clamp placed under the mounting surface.

3. Add the leveling screws if needed. Use in case the mounting
surface is uneven. The stand must be level
.
4. Pull the display cable (optional) out of the cable exit (side or
bottom), leaving enough for the cable to attach to the
display (optional).
5. Slide the stand cover all the way down and click into place.
Make sure cables exit the side of the stand cover if using
side exit.
6. Verify that the camera is level and at the correct angle.

Install the Display (Optional)
If using a display, you will need to install the display holder, then
install the display. You can mount the display holder on to any
side of the pole.
Note: Depending on the kit, the display holder may already be
installed on the pole. If that is the case, skip the following
instructions and go directly to the next section (To install
the display: on page 12).
