System Precautions
Precautions
Read these precautions and this manual carefully before using the camera.
Confirm that the camera’s packaging is undamaged before opening it. If the packaging is
damaged, please contact the relevant logistics personnel.
Do not open the housing of the camera. The warranty is voided if the housing is opened.
Keep the camera housing temperature in a range of 0 °C to +60 °C during operation.
Do not operate the camera near strong electromagnetic fields. In addition, avoid
electrostatic charging, violent vibration, and excess moisture.
To clean the device, avoid electrostatic charging by using a dry, clean absorbent cotton
cloth dampened with a small quantity of pure alcohol. Do
not
use methylated alcohol. To
clean the surface of the camera housing, use a soft, dry cloth. To remove severe stains, use
a soft cloth dampened with a small quantity of neutral detergent and then wipe dry. Do not
use volatile solvents such as benzene and thinners, as they can damage the surface finish.
Further cleaning instructions are below.
Though this camera supports hot plugging, it is recommended that you power down and
disconnect power to the camera before you add or replace system components.
Electrostatic discharge and the CMOS sensor
Image sensors and the camera bodies housing are susceptible to damage from electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Electrostatic charge introduced to the sensor window surface can induce
charge buildup on the underside of the window that cannot be readily dissipated by the dry
nitrogen gas in the sensor package cavity. The charge normally dissipates within 24 hours
and the sensor returns to normal operation.
