Install the S-Mount/M12 Manual Focus Lens

Complete the following steps to install an In-Sight S-Mount/M12 manual focus lens. The S-Mount/M12 adapter kit (ISLN-7000-SMNT) is required when installing In‑Sight S-Mount/M12 manual focus lenses.

Note:
  • The DataMan clear cover accessory (DM300-CLCOV) is supported with In-Sight S-Mount/M12 manual focus lenses and provides an IP65 rating. For more information, see S-Mount/M12 Manual Focus Accessories.
  • For the In-Sight 7905, the vision system image circle is larger than the S-Mount/M12 lenses used in the autofocus module (ISAF-7000-8mm) and the S-Mount/M12 adapter kit (ISLN‑7000‑SMNT), resulting in mechanical vignetting in the image when using any S-Mount/M12 lens. Therefore, S-Mount/M12 lenses are not recommended. For more information, see Mechanical Vignetting.
  1. Remove the rubber faceplate covering the image sensor window, if present.
  2. Remove the protective film covering the threaded lens opening, if present.

  3. Place the S-Mount adapter over the image sensor window.

  4. Place the "In-Sight" end of the adapter tool on the adapter. Turn clockwise until tight.

  5. Remove the adapter tool.

  6. Thread the lens into the vision system. Focusing of lens prior to installation of the rubber lens-locking cone is required.

  7. Place the 13mm or 14mm rubber lens-locking cone over the M12 lens until it snaps tightly into place around the nose of the lens. When installing, avoid rotating the M12 lens.

  8. If using a lens cover accessory, attach the cover to the vision system.
