3.2 Placement
iDOL 65 must be mounted above the feed dispenser at dry feeding as shown in Figure 1 or above the drinking
nipple at wet feeding as shown in Figure 2.
The distance to the floor should optimally be 2300 mm and must not deviate more than +/- 50 mm.
The house must be emptied and cleaned when the cameras are mounted. There must not be any deposits on
the floor which could make the measurement of the distance to the floor inaccurate.
No.: Description: Value: Tolerance:
1 The box front must be facing the pen floor. The camera must be
hung horizontally, parallel to the floor.
0° +/- 4°
2 Height above the floor (measured from the front of the box) 2300 mm +/- 50 mm
3 Distance from pen wall / center of the feed dispenser 700 mm +/- 100 mm
4 Center the box compared to the center of the feed dispenser 0 mm +/- 300 mm
5 The hinge of the box must face the feed dispenser and must be par-
allel to the partition wall
0° +/- 10°

Make sure that no pipes, wires, etc. are occluding
(blocking) the camera view. This means that no
elements (such as feed lines) must be placed in
the hatched field.
The mounting should be done in a manner that
minimizes any movement and vibrations.
The cameras must be mounted in pens where no
sunlight occurs.

justed a little when mounting it in the mounting
profile.

3.4 Mounting the iDOL 65 camera at ceiling height 2400 mm
If the ceiling height is 2400 mm, the camera can be mounted without using the mounting profile to lower it.
Mount the bracket on the iDOL 65 camera as de-
scribed in Mounting the bracket on iDOL 65 cam-
era [}9].
Cut off a piece of the mounting profile to use it for
mounting in the ceiling. The profile must have a
suitable length to ensure secure mounting in the
ceiling.
Mount the profile with screws suitable for the ceil-
ing sheathing (not included).
2300 mm 2390 mm
Mount the bracket with hex flange head screws
and flange nuts in the profile mounted in the ceil-
ing.
Use a spirit level to ensure that the camera is hor-
izontal.

3.5 Mounting at ceiling height above 2400 mm
The profile length is calculated
Distance from floor to ceiling XXXX mm - 2390 mm = profile length.
Example:
Ceiling height 2600 mm - 2390 mm = 210 mm = profile length.
If the profile length is less than 200 mm, no support is necessary, otherwise support must be used to mini-
mize camera movement.
Mount the bracket on the iDOL 65 camera as de-
scribed in Mounting the bracket on iDOL 65 cam-
era [}9].
Cut off a piece of the mounting profile to use it for
mounting in the ceiling. The profile must have a
suitable length to ensure secure mounting in the
ceiling.
Mount the profile with screws suitable for the ceil-
ing sheathing (not included).
Measure the necessary profile length and cut off
the mounting profile in the correct length.
The mounting profile can be extended with addi-
tional profiles.
Note that there must be an overlap of at least two
holes between the two profiles when joining them.
Join the 2 mounting profiles with hex flange head
screws and flange nuts.

12 Mounting Guide
Measure and cut off the mounting profile for 2
support profiles.
Join the 3 mounting profiles with hex flange head
screws and flange nuts.
Mount the profiles with hex flange head screws
and flange nuts in the profile mounted in the ceil-
ing.
Use a spirit level to ensure that the camera is hor-
izontal.
3.6 Securing the cables
To make sure that the camera can be adjusted after installation, the cables must be mounted with slack. Fasten
the cables to the mounting profile.
Use the enclosed cable ties to fasten the cables
to the mounting profile.
To prevent water from running into the iDOL 65 camera via cables and screwed connections, run
the cables so that water does not gather around the cable in the gasket of the screwed connec-
tion. See also the iDOL 65 camera Technical User Guide.
