Custom mounting DLS 2 guidelines
The OEM Dual Camera Kit does not come with a DLS2 mounting solution, however the general
DLS2 mounting guidelines should be followed when integrating the DLS2 sensor. These
guidelines can be found in the DLS2 Integration Guide on the MicaSense Knowledge Base.
The DLS 2 should always be the highest object on the aircraft in order to avoid shadows or
reflections. It contains an integrated GPS receiver that may be utilized for geotagging of the
MicaSense sensor imagery if system GPS signals are not provided to the sensor by other
means. Install the module where it will have a clear view of the sky, far away from any devices
that could cause interference (such as a data link or video transmitters).
When the DLS 2 starts up, the sensor attempts to calibrate which requires it to be still and
motionless. Ensure that there is no vibration or movement until the DLS 2 has completed this
procedure, indicated by normal LED status lights (shown in the User Guide).
