1.4.2 Color Cameras
The following graph shows the spectral response for all color cameras.
The spectral response curves excludes lens characteristics, light source
characteristics, and IR cut filter characteristics. To obtain best performance from
color models of the camera, use of a dielectric IR cut filter is recommended.
The filter should transmit in a range from 450 nm to 620 nm, and it should cut off
from 700 to 1100 nm.
A suitable IR cut filter is included in the standard C-mount lens adapter on color
models of the camera.

1.5 Mechanical Specifications
The camera housing conforms to protection class IP30 assuming that the lens mount is covered by
a lens or by the cap that is shipped with the camera.
1.5.1 Camera Dimensions and Mounting Points
The cameras are manufactured with high precision. Planar, parallel, and angular sides ensure
precise mounting with high repeatability.
Camera housings are equipped with four mounting holes on the front and two mounting holes on
each side as shown in the drawings.
For mounting on a tripod, a suitable tripod adapter is available from Basler.
The camera’s dimensions in millimeters are as shown in the drawings below.

1.5.3 Maximum Lens Thread Length on Color Cameras
The C-mount lens adapter on color models of the camera is normally equipped with an internal IR
cut filter. As shown below, the length of the threads on any lens you use with a color camera must
be less than 7.5 mm. If a lens with a longer thread length is used, the IR cut filter will be damaged
or destroyed and the camera will no longer operate.
Fig. 6: Maximum Lens Thread Length on Color Cameras
C-mount color cameras that do not include an internal IR cut filter, are available
on request.
Monochrome cameras are not normally equipped with an internal IR cut filter,
however, they can be equipped with an internal filter on request.

1.5.4 Mechanical Stress Test Results
Aviator cameras were submitted to an independent mechanical testing laboratory and subjected to
the stress tests listed below. The mechanical stress tests were performed on selected camera
models. After mechanical testing, the cameras exhibited no detectable physical damage and
produced normal images during standard operational testing.
The mechanical stress tests were performed with a dummy lens connected to a C-mount. The
dummy lens was 35 mm long and had a mass of 66 g. Using a heavier or longer lens requires an
additional support for the lens.
