Preventing Operational Faults due to ESD
Nano camera installations which do not protect against ESD (electrostatic
discharge) may exhibit operational faults. Problems such as random packet loss,
random camera resets, and random loss of Ethernet connections, may all be
solved by proper ESD management.
Teledyne DALSA has performed ESD testing on Nano cameras using an 8 kilovolt ESD generator
without any indication of operational faults. The two following methods, either individually or
together will prevent ESD problems.
•
Method 1: Use a shielded/grounded power supply that connects ground to pin-10 of the I/O
connector. The Nano case is now properly connected to earth ground and can withstand ESD of
8 kilovolts, as tested by Teledyne DALSA.
• Method 2: Mount the camera on a metallic platform with a good connection to earth ground.
