2Mechanical 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
● Do not 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
