Do you want to use a larger SD card (see Replacing the microSD card, p. 108)? The following sections will answer these questions. If you have further questions, please ask your MOBOTIX partner or contact the MOBOTIX support under www.mobotix.com > Support > Help Desk.
WARNING! When laying cables indoors and outdoors, the current regulations for cable laying, lightning and fire protection must always be observed. MOBOTIX cameras are protected against the effects of minor over voltages by a number of measures. However, these measures cannot prevent larger surge voltages from causing damage to the camera. When installing the cameras outdoors, special attention should therefore be paid to lightning protection and the associated dangers for the building and network infrastructure.
Mounting Installing the Sensor Modules Further information on how to avoid damage caused by lightning and over voltage is available from man- ufacturers of lightning and over voltage protection devices. Installing the Sensor Modules NOTE! Upon delivery, the sensor module sockets in the front plate are fitted with transport plugs 1.4.
Page 39
Mounting Installing the Sensor Modules 2. Remove the transport plugs: Gently pull the transport plugs out of the sensor module receptacles and pull the plugs from the sensor module cables. CAUTION! Cautiously pull the sensor module cables out of the housing until you feel the stop! Fig.
Page 40
The sensor module cables are numbered (small colored rings next to the connectors, see figure below). CAUTION! When attaching sensor modules, make sure that these rules are followed: The MOBOTIXMOBOTIX M73 can be equipped with these types of modules: A maximum of two optical modules can be used. ...
Page 41
Mounting Installing the Sensor Modules 4. Properly connect the sensor module cables: Push the plug of each sensor module cable firmly into the connector at the back of the module until the connector is fully inserted into its seat. If this is not the case, again push the connector firmly into its seat until it doesn’t go in any further.

M.14, p. 21 are protecting the sensor modules or the blind module in the front plate of the MOBOTIX M73 against theft and unwanted rotation (e.g., due to vibration when mounted on a pole or in an automotive scenario). CAUTION! Do not use the plastic nuts delivered with the sensor modules to lock the modules in place! Fig.
3. Repeat step 2 to apply security clips to all modules. 4. Close the module housing: (see Closing the Module Housing, p. 47). Closing the Module Housing Insert the front plate of the MOBOTIX M73 to close the module housing. 47 / 110...

Mounting Installing the Sensor Modules Procedure 1. Make sure that the arrow of the front plate (red circle in figure) points upwards when inserting the front plate into the module housing (figure shows front plate with cables removed). 2. Push the front plate into the module housing until it stops. CAUTION! When pushing the front plate into the module housing, make sure that the sensor module cables are not damaged or bent sharply! 48 / 110...
This closes off the front plate and protects the camera against foreign objects, animals and water. Fig. 18: MOBOTIX M73 Thermal Front Plate with thermal sensor module WARNING! Only replace the sensor modules when the camera is disconnected from the power supply.
44 Removing the Security Clips NOTE! The procedure below only applies if you are adding a thermal front plate to a “regular” M73. If this is not the case, you can proceed to Installing the Sensor Modules to the Thermal Front Plate, p.
Mounting Installing a Thermal Front Plate Procedure 1. Open the module housing (see Opening the Module Housing, p. 44). ① 2. Remove the security clips: Push the security clip slightly towards the sensor module and pull it out ② of its seat Fig.
