Mounting Guide

The Qb2 must only be operated after it has been installed to a stable mounting base. Blickfeld offers different mounting solutions for permanent or temporary installation purposes. Contact sales@blickfeld.com for further information.

Requirements

  • Observe the operational and storage temperature limits at the mounting location.

  • Ensure that air flow at the heatsink of the device is not obstructed by leaving at least 20 cm of gap between the sensor and surrounding structures in all directions.

  • Always use the defined mounting interfaces of the Qb2 as shown below.

  • Ensure that the field-of-view of the sensos is not occluded by surrounding objects.

  • Avoid mounting to structures that exert or transmit vibrations or shaking to the sensor.

  • Avoid mounting configurations where the sensor would receive direct sunlight or sunlight reflections from shiny surfaces.

  • Make sure that the device is only accessible to instructed personnel.

Do not place the Qb2 in the immediate vicinity of sources of magnetic fields. This can degrade the performance of the sensor and, in extreme cases, lead to temporary malfunction.

Mounting instructions

It is recommended to perform the mounting process in two steps:

  1. Mounting and rough alignment with the sensor switched off

  2. Fine adjustment of sensor orientation while observing the point cloud

Hot surface!

After longer periods of operation (> 5 min) the housing of the Qb2 can be hot. Avoid touching during operation or let the sensor cool down after operation.
