To assemble the components:

  1. Attach the ace 2 / ace camera to the mounting bracket and the heat sink using the three M3x10 screws.
    1. Line up the screw holes of the camera, the mounting bracket, and the heat sink on top of each other.
    2. Insert the screws from the bottom of the heat sink and fasten them securely.
  2. Attach the assembly on the lens side of the blaze camera using the two M4x6 screws.

Omitting the Heat Sink

If space is tight, it is possible to omit the heat sink but only provided that your application is unlikely to cause the ace 2 / ace camera to overheat. Otherwise, you will have to take other measures to provide cooling. For more information, read the safety information and heat dissipation advice for your camera model:
