• Included with delivery: camera, lens mount set, lens.
• The spacer ring and lens cap (middle and right) are no longer needed. We do recommend keeping these
items, however, in case the camera needs to be stored at a later date.
• 1: Unscrew and remove the protective cap and the 5mm distance ring from the camera.
This ring must be removed in order to mount the lens.

• 2: Screw the hex nut (left) onto the camera. The lens will be placed into the lock washer (right) which will
serve to secure the lens. The hex nut can be screwed onto the camera using a 14mm nut wrench or open
ended wrench. This can also be done by hand. Please do not over-tighten! This can strip the thread or
crack the mounting bracket.
• View of camera with hex nut mounted to camera housing.
• The adapter TLH CS-f has two parts: hex nut (left) and lock washer (right). The parts are set at an angle in this
photo to show better detail.

• 3: Screw the lens into the lock washer. Please note: The at side of the washer should be facing the came-
ra. When the lens is properly placed, the observer should be seeing the “bucket“ side of the washer (shown
left). This ensures a correct grip.
• Lens mounted to lock washer.
• The lens should be placed in the adapter so that it sits ush with the inside of the lock washer's “bucket.“ It
should not yet be screwed tight since the washer and lens set will later be mounted to the camera in order to
lock the lens after it has been properly focused.

• 4: Connect the camera to the PC. IC Capture can be used in order to display camera images. The washer and
lens are now placed onto the hex nut and screwed into place until the image is sharp.
• Ready! The lens/lock washer is tight and the gap is closed: the lens has been axed. The assembly is comple-
te and the camera is ready for use. During the adjustment and mounting of the rings and nuts, dust from the
abrasion of the threads can appear causing ecks in the image. In this event, the pieces must be disassem-
bled, cleaned and assembled once again.
• 5: After the lens has been adjusted to provide a sharp image (above), a small gap between the lens/lock
washer and camera is visible. Hold the lens with one hand so that it does not turn while tightening the lock
washer to the camera with the other hand. Do not over-tighten!
