Step 1 - Find an appropriate location for the dimensioner
Distance between the camera array and the dimensioning surface should be 1.4m. The center of the camera should line up with the center of belt / conveyor as illustrated below.
In an ideal environment, no other objects should be above the dimensioning surface within the camera's field of view. However, static objects above the dimensioning surface are allowed as long as they do not move during dimensioning.

Once an appropriate place for the dimensioner is found, a custom mounting plate need to be manufactured to fix the DIM 100 dimensioner to the conveyor belt.
4 mounting holes are required to properly fasten the extension tube to the mounting plate. The diagram below indicates the dimensions for the mounting holes.
