Adjustment of C-Mount
PIKE cameras allow the precise adjustment of the back focus of the C-Mount
by means of a back focus ring which is threaded into the C-Mount and held
by two screws on either side of the camera. The mechanical adjustment of
the imaging device is important in order to achieve a perfect alignment with
the focal point of the lens.
Individual adjustment may be required:
• if you cannot focus correctly at near or far distances or
• if the back focal plane of your lens does not conform to the C-Mount
back-focus specification or
• if you have e.g. removed the IR cut filter.
Do the following:
1. Loosen screws (location as shown above by arrow) with an Allen key
(1.3 x 50; Order#: K 9020411).
2. With the lens set to infinity or a known focus distance, set the camera
to view an object located at 'infinity' or the known distance.
3. Rotate the C-Mount ring and lens forward or backwards on its thread
until the object is in sharp focus. Be careful that the lens remains
seated in the C-Mount.
4. Once focus is achieved, tighten the two locking screws without applying
excessive torque.
