Ground loops
Unsuitable connections can lead to different potentials between the camera
system GND and the environmental shield/chassis GND caused by ground loops.
This can damage the camera and the connected devices or cause malfunctions.
•
Avoid potential differences between the camera housing and GND.
•
All wiring must be done by authorized personnel, according to the
corresponding technical standards.
•
You may mount the camera electrically isolated.
•
Read the
Avoiding Ground Loops in Vision Systems
application note.
FPC connectors
Hirose FH55-22S-0.5SH FPC connectors enable compact camera design.
The small-sized connectors are sensitive to mechanical stress and are specified for
maximum 20 mating/unmating cycles. Especially if you are inexperienced with this
connector, be very cautious. If the FPC connector is broken, the camera must be
replaced. To install and operate cameras safely, read this section carefully.
Instructions in
on page 62 include helpful information to
enable proper installation.
•
Avoid stress to FPC connectors.
•
Allow only the FPC cable to touch conductors.
Handling the actuator
•
Move the actuator only between 0° (locked position) to 105° (open position).
•
Carefully flip the actuator at the middle with your finger nail, see
