The camera was designed for indoor use. When used outdoors,
the camera must be mounted in an appropriate weatherproof
housing.

"

with steam or oil vapors (e.g. kitchen)

"

near sources of strong radiation, i.e. X-rays, radio transmitters
or magnetic fields

"

with corrosive surroundings (e.g. gases or salt water)

"

with large scale dust and dirt.

"

with an ambient temperature above 50 °C.

Attaching the lens

IMPORTANT

Possible damage to the sensor caused by too long
lens thread and protruding parts.

Ensure that the length (a) of the lens thread (see
following figure) plus any protruding parts does
not exceed 5 mm.

Check whether it is a CS-mount lens.

If a C-mount lens is used, an appropriate
adapter ring is to be used.
