How to install AXIS - 4 mm to 13 mm - Varifocal Lens for C-mount

• Power down the camera and prepare the mounting area. If you are replacing an existing lens, disconnect cables and remove the predecessor carefully to avoid damaging connectors.
• Thread the AXIS varifocal lens onto the C-mount port. Start by turning the lens gently by hand to ensure the threads engage smoothly, then tighten until the lens sits flush against the camera body.
• Attach any required mounting adapters or brackets specified by your camera model or enclosure. Secure all screws and ensure the lens is properly oriented for optimal field of view.
• Power on the system and verify the live image. Begin with a wide focal length (4 mm) to establish framing, then gradually adjust toward telephoto (13 mm) while monitoring composition and subject detail.
• Fine-tune focus at the chosen focal length. If the lens includes a focusing ring or locking mechanism, use it to lock in your settings to resist drift under vibration or temperature changes.
• Perform a final sweep across the zoom range to confirm consistent sharpness and minimal distortion. Adjust exposure and white balance in the camera settings to maximize image quality through the entire focal span.
