Mounting a 3D Gen 2 Sensor

The type of lens that is used in the 3D Gen 2 sensor or the placement of the sensor determines what
type of mount is used to support your installation. Refer to
that you have the appropriate lens for each installation height and door width.
The following is a description of the basic mounting guidelines for installing the 3D Gen 2 sensor. See
also mounting information in
The sensor must be within 30 cm (1 ft) radius of the specific sensor installation specification
n
measurements.
The sensor must be mounted within 5 cm (1.97 in.) of specified height range supported by the
n
size of lenses used.
X tilts must be within 1 degree of specification.
n
Mount in a downward-looking orientation and level in both tilt and yaw such that it is looking
n
straight down, if possible.
Avoid including a side wall in the sensor's field of view.
n
Avoid the sensor's field of view looking through a glass wall or large window.
n
If a sensor is installed over a door where permanent or patterned mats are present under its direct
n
view, it may improve tracking to rotate the sensor slightly by 5 degrees.
At installation sites where level, 0 degree downward-looking mounting is not possible, mounting
n
at an angle is supported up to 10 degrees with the basic license. Additional license key required
for mounting angles greater than 10 degrees.
Mount in such a way that the area of interest is positioned at, or very close to the center of the
n
sensor field of view.
Mounting bracket or mounting holes should provide adequate space to allow for one
n
10/100BaseT CAT5e cable to be run above the mounting location.
Maintenance loops of CAT5e cable at least 1 m (3 ft) should be bundled and stored in the ceiling
n
above the mounting location when using recessed mounting brackets.
Allow clearance for hanging signs in a 1:1 rise-to-run ratio of the distance from the potential
n
obstruction for straight-downward viewing sensors. You can also use the Minimum Distance
Calculator (available from your FLIR Brickstream representative) for more accurate positioning.
If you cannot see both stereoscopic lenses of the sensor when looking up at it from the area you
n
want to monitor, the view is obstructed and requires adjustment to surrounding objects,
adjustment to sensor installation height, or use of the Minimum Distance Calculator.
Prior to cutting a hole for the recess mount, verify that there is hollow ceiling space at least 5.7
n
cm (2.25 in) deep behind the recess mounting location.
Integrated surface mounts should be used in a plaster ceiling where screws can be securely
n
attached into the ceiling.
