2. Mechanical integration
The mechanical design of the main sensor module (black) allows easy assembly to its
backboard (yellow) using a simple ‘clip-in’ technique (when you clip the two together,
ensure there is no visible gap between the black and yellow parts). The yellow
backboard has two mounting holes for final installation.
When choosing a place for mounting, please consider the following recommendations:
●Choose a place which is in accordance with the optical constraints listed below
●Mounting close to sources of heat or strong electromagnetic fields can decrease
the sensing performance
●Do not mount anything directly in front of the sensor or in a cone of
approximately +/-15° around the central optical axis of the sensor
●Within the first meter from the sensor, avoid objects with high surface reflectivity
in a cone of approximately +/-45° around the central optical axis of the sensor
●It is better to avoid having other sources of Continuous Wave or modulated IR
light close to the sensor
●Please consider that dust, dirt and condensation can affect the sensor
performance
●It is not advised to add an additional cover in front of the sensor
●Drone rotor blades, or other environments with flickering (‘chopped’) ambient
light in the field of view can affect sensors’ readings
