Assembled tablet holder (acorn nuts face away +from back panel of box).<br><br> +All acorn nuts are on the same side of the tablet holder to maximize clearance +for the tablet.</li> +</ol> + +<h2 id=box-assembly>Step 5: Assemble box</h2> +<p>To assemble the box:</p> +<ol> +<li>Place the front panel with the circular aperture flat on the table, inside +facing up.</li> +<li>Connect the front and back walls by inserting tabs into slots as shown in +Figure 15: +<br><img src=images/camera_iab_top_bottom_placed.png width="50%"><br> +<strong>Figure 15</strong>. Top and bottom attached to front (as seen from +right side).<br><br> +Position the front so the chamfered side of the circular aperture is on the +inside of the box. The front of the bottom can be identified by the small hole +for the power cord box exit (out of the field of view).

Proper light placement (back removed).<br><br> +Ensure lights are pointed in the right direction (towards the top and bottom and +towards the front of the box).</li> +<li>Secure lights by squeezing the pin into the small hole on the rectangular +tab that extends through the slot in the top/bottom, as shown in Figure 18: +<br><img src=images/camera_iab_pin_led_mount_details.png width="50%"><br> +<strong>Figure 18</strong>. Detail of inserted pin in LED mount tab on outside +of box.<br><br> +Squeezing of the pins is best done with a pair of pliers using gentle pressure; +you should feel a little give in the plastic as the pins are squeezed in place. +Insert the pins for both the bottom and top light sets. As the pins are small +and easy to drop, it is easiest to insert them to the bottom with the box +upside down.</li> +<li>Attach the power cord to the lower light bar as shown in Figure 19: +<br><img src=images/camera_iab_light_cord.jpg width="50%"><br> +<strong>Figure 19</strong>. Detail of lighting power cord.<br><br> +Thread the power cord through the hole in lower-front-right. The power cord has +different connectors at each end: The narrow connector fits to the LED light bar +and the larger connector fits to the power adaptor.</li> +<li>To prevent the power cord from pulling on the light assembly, use a zip tie +to secure the power cord to bottom of box as shown in Figure 20: +<br><img src=images/camera_iab_light_cord_secured.jpg width="50%"><br> +<strong>Figure 20</strong>. Power cord zip tie attachment on bottom of box +(shown on its side); trim ties as necessary.</li> +<li>Wire the top lights to the bottom lights on the left side and secure the +cable to the front of the box. Some drawings show the cable secured on side of +box, but it is easier to wire them to front corner as shown in Figure 21: +<br><img src=images/camera_iab_light_cord_zip.jpg width="50%"><br> +<strong>Figure 21</strong>. Detail of light cord anchored out of field of +view.</li> +</ol> + +<h2 id=sides-holder>Step 7: Attach sides, tablet holder, and handles</h2> +<p>To attach the box sides, tablet holder, and handles with locking mechanism:</p> +<ol> +<li>Snap the right panel into place by pushing and sliding it upwards. The +bottom of the panel should be flush with the bottom of the front and back panels +as shown in Figure 22: +<br><img src=images/camera_iab_right_side_placed.jpg width="50%"><br> +<strong>Figure 22</strong>. Right side panel in place (viewed from back).</li> +<li>Place assembled tablet holder in right tabs as shown in Figure 23: +<br><img src=images/camera_iab_tabholder_inserted.jpg width="50%"><br> +<strong>Figure 23</strong>. Right side, tablet holder inserted in slots (viewed +from back of box so it appears on the left).<br><br> +If the tabs are too tight to allow the tablet holder to move up and down, sand +the tabs with 100 grit sandpaper to thin them and create a better fit.</li> +<li>Snap the left panel into place by pushing and sliding it upwards, as shown +in figure 24: +<br><img src=images/camera_iab_left_side_placed.jpg width="50%"><br> +<strong>Figure 24</strong>. Left side panel in place.</li> +<li>Gather the handle parts shown in Figure 25: +<br><img src=images/camera_iab_handle_parts.png width="50%"><br> +<strong>Figure 25</strong>. Handle and box lock parts.<br><br> +Hardware includes four wide plastic pieces (for outside the box) and two narrow +pieces (for top of the box). Screw holes are not placed symmetrically on the +plastic strips.</li> +<li>Assemble the handle as shown in figure 26: +<br><img src=images/camera_iab_handle_assembled.png width="50%"><br> +<strong>Figure 26</strong>. Assembled handle.<br><br> +Acorn nuts are usually placed on the top of the box. While this is not strictly +necessary, it makes the outer part of the handle as flat as possible. If the +handle is loose, insert washers to allow the acorn nuts to tighten effectively. +</li> +</ol> + +<h2 id=final-assembly>Step 8: Final assembly</h2> +<p>To perform final assembly of the ITS-in-a-box:</p> +<ol> +<li>Using two nylon screws (short or long), attach the square aperture panel +with phone mounts to the front of the box as shown in Figure 27: +<br><img src=images/camera_iab_front_attached.jpg width="50%"><br> +<strong>Figure 27</strong>. Attached front panel.<br><br> +Place one screw on the top of the box and one screw on the bottom of the box.</li> +<li>Test the 4"x4” gatorboard aperture blank to ensure it fits in the square +opening, as shown in Figure 28: +<br><img src=images/camera_iab_gater_no_aperture.jpg width="50%"><br> +<strong>Figure 28</strong>. Gatorboard installed, no aperture cut.<br><br> +The fit should be snug. If the blank is too tight, shave it; if too loose, make +another.</li> +<li>Cut apertures for cameras. You can cut a single aperture (for testing a +single phone) or two apertures (for testing two phones). Apertures for the Pixel +and Pixel XL front and rear cameras are shown in Figure 29: +<br><img src=images/camera_iab_front_apertures.jpg width="50%"><br> +<strong>Figure 29</strong>. Front of ITS-in-a-box with front and rear camera +aperture cuts.<br><br> +The front camera is a circular aperture since there is no flash or laser, while +the rear camera is a rectangular aperture that allows the flash and laser to +operate without being blocked.</li></ol> + + </body> +</html> |
