NOTICE
ESD is dangerous for electronic devices, especially when tools or hands get in
contact with connectors. We recommend measures to avoid damage by ESD:
•
Unpacking: Remove the camera from its anti-static packaging only when your
body is grounded.
•
Workplace: Use a static-safe workplace with static-dissipative mat and air
ionization.
•
Wrist strap: Wear a static-dissipative wrist strap to ground your body.
•
Clothing: Wear ESD-protective clothing. Keep components away from your
body and clothing. Even if you are wearing a wrist strap, your body is grounded
but your clothes are not.
NOTICE
Don’t operate the camera beyond the environmental specifications. See
environmental specifications limits in the Specifications section of this document.
Special care must be taken to maintain an operating temperature as specified in
the Specifications chapter.
NOTICE
The maximum power supplied via PoE is 13 watts. EF lens power requirements
varies from lens to lens; however, typical ratings are in the 3 to 4 watt range.
Should your lens and camera power requirements exceed 13 watts, it is necessary
to power the camera via the Hirose I/O port.
NOTICE
Verify all external connections in terms of voltage levels, power requirements,
voltage polarity, and signal integrity prior to powering the device.
