Dust Protection
Designed to prevent dust from falling directly onto the sensor’s protective glass surface the LightWise Allegro
comes with protective camera housing. The shielding is accomplished by placing a piece of clear glass
(monochrome camera models) or an IR cut off filter (color models) which sits above the surface of the sensors
glass with a removable plastic retainer that keeps the glass/filter in place. The possibility of damage to the
sensor when cleaning or of interference from dusty is greatly reduced by the increased distance between the
imaging surface and the location of potential dust particles. Additional measures of protection:
1. Cameras are sealed when they are shipped. To avoid contamination, seals should not be broken until
cameras are ready for assembly at customer's site.
2. Use caution when removing the protective glass or filter. Damage to any component of the optical path
voids the Hardware Warranty.
3. Removing the protective glass or filter alters the optical path of the camera, and may result in problems
obtaining proper focus with your lens.
