3. Is the construction at the point of fastening adequately strong to allow
the camera holder to be screwed on tightly?
If you are not sure about the suitability of the installation point you have
chosen, please ask the manufacturer or their representative.
Hold the camera holder at the selected installation site and mark at
least 2 different drilling points (see ✎ I 2).
When using sheet metal / self-tapping screws for fastening
Fastening with self-tapping screws is only permitted in sheet steel
with a minimum thickness of 1.5 mm.
Please observe the following for drilling holes in the sheet steel:
– Check beforehand that there is sufficient clearance for the drill bit to
emerge on the other side.
– Use a centre punch and hammer to make a centre punch mark to
prevent the drill from running out.
– Deburr all drill holes and treat with rust proofing agent.
Drill a Ø 2 mm hole at the previously marked points (see ✎ I 4).
Stick the double-sided adhesive tape onto the installation side of the
holder. This serves as a seal and paint protection (see ✎ I 3).
Screw on the camera holder using the 4 x 10 mm self-tapping
screws.
For the parts required for fastening with self-tapping screws
see ✎ I 3 and I 4.
When using threaded screws for fastening
Please observe the following for drilling holes:
– Check beforehand that there is sufficient clearance for the drill bit to
emerge on the other side.
– When tightening ensure that the nut cannot pull up through the
construction (use larger washers or metal plates, if necessary).
Drill a Ø 4.5 mm hole at the previously marked points (see ✎ I 6).
