10.    Notes 

 

 

  This equipment is not allowed to be used for medical purposes, detection of hazardous materials or any other operations of 

which performance may exert influence on human lives or safety.   

 

 

We  assume  no  responsibility  whatsoever  for  any  incidental  damages  (loss  of  business  interests,  business  interruption, 

change in data, loss of data etc.) resulting from the user’s use of this equipment or performance failure. 

  Do  not  disassembly  this  equipment  or  alter  the  internal  circuits.  Accidents  such  as  a  fire  may  be  caused  by  the  heat 

generation associated with failure in operation. 

  This equipment achieves 5fps high frame rate for 11 megapixels by employing dual output CCD. It may have some luminance 

difference  (color  difference)  between  right  and  left  image  signals,  as  the  signal  goes  through  the  analog  circuit.  Also,  as 
luminance may vary over time, it is recommended to use this equipment making readjustment regularly. 

  More stable images can be obtained by leaving the equipment for 20 to 30 minutes after power-on.   

  Refrain from connecting or disconnecting cables and connectors while power is being supplied, otherwise troubles may be 

caused. 

  Fix a lens or implement other measures when using with a large or heavy lens, so that no extraordinarily large force is applied 

to the camera. 

  Connect this equipment to a high quality power source unit that does not contain noise components. 

  Take  appropriate  measures  to  control  the  generation  of  noise  if  a  power  machine  or  other  installations  in  the  close 

neighborhood of this equipment radiates noise, which might adversely affect this equipment.   

  Do  not  use  this  equipment  in  an  environment  subject  to  any  temperatures  other  than  that  of  the  specifications  or 

condensation, or on a place subject to considerable dust or constant vibration/impact.   

  When  this  equipment  is  not  used  over  a  prolonged  period  of  time,  isolate  the  power  from  the  equipment  and  remove  the 

power cable and external connection cables. 

  When an abnormal or failure condition is detected, immediately stop using this equipment, cut off the power supply, remove 

the external connection cables and contact the dealer for inspection/repair. 

  The  specifications  and  operational  details  described  in  the  catalogues,  manuals  and  others  are  subject  to  change  for 

performance improvement or other reasons without notice.

[Fixing screw for the camera] 

[Important] 
Beware of a screw length when fixing the camera to a mounting bracket or a metal   
plate at user’s site. The screw length should not exceed the value designated in   
“External dimensions” on the end of this document. 
If it exceeds the value, there is a possibility that the contents of the camera are broken.   
 

[Important] 

On  the  usage  of  this  equipment,  please  note  the  following  to  prevent  the  problem  of  time  degradation  of  CCD  image 
sensor(Increase of pixel defects etc.). 

 

    Do not use this equipment in an environment subject to high temperatures and high humidity. 

Especially in a high-temperature environment, degradation of CCD image sensor is accelerated, and pixel defects such as 
sunspot may be caused. It is recommended that the equipment is used in an ambient temperature around normal room 
temperature (below 30

℃ 

degrees) as far as possible. If there is any concern that ambient temperature of the camera may 

be heated up when embedded in the apparatus, please consider to use a cooling equipment such as a cooling fan. 

    Be careful not to get the light receiving surface be exposed to high intensity light over a long periods of time. 

If a right receiving surface is exposed to high intensity light over a long time (regardless of the on/off state of the camera), 
the color filter on a surface of CCD image sensor may get discolored or get burnt in and normal image could not be output. 
Please reduce the amount of incoming light by using dark filter or by 

stopping down the aperture of the lens if the 

high 

intensity light

 like sunlight enters over a long periods of time. 

The amount of light falling on the light receiving surface does not decrease with an adjustment of output level by getting   
electronic shutter speed higher, therefore note that discoloration or burn-in of image sensor can not be prevented that way. 
When this equipment is not used for a long time, it is recommended to store the equipment disconnecting the cable and 
fixing a lens cap.   

[Important] 
New  pixel  defect  may  be  generated  or  the  defect  level  of  some  pixels  may  increase  over  time  after  shipment  according  to 
inherent nature of image sensor. 
Number or level of pixel defect of image sensor may inevitably increase after purchase under natural conditions. However, it 
does not arise from structural failure or design failing of the camera.   
Therefore, please be aware that such increase of number or level of pixel defect is not covered by warranty.
