Instructions before use 

  Only operate this product within the recommended environmental temperature 

range. 

  Use only the specified power source and voltage rating. 

  Do not drop this product. Avoid exposure to strong impact and vibrations. 

  Install the camera unit in a well-ventilated environment, in order to prevent the 

camera from overheating. 

  If  the  camera  must  be  installed  in  an  environment  containing  dust  or  other 

particles,  take  required  measures  to  protect  the  camera  unit  from  dust 
adhesion. 

  Do not unplug the cable while power is being supplied to the camera unit. To 

prevent  product  damage,  always  shut  down  the  power  supply  before 
unplugging the power cable. 

  When the surface of the camera window becomes dirty due to dust or grime, 

black smudges appear in the displayed image. Use an air blower to remove the 
dust  particles.  Dip  a  cotton  swab  into  ethanol  alcohol  and  clean  the  camera 
window. Be careful not to scratch the glass. 

  Use  of  non-infrared  lighting  such  as  a  daylight  fluorescent  lamp  is 

recommended. If halogen lighting is employed, always install an infrared filter 
into your system configuration. 

  Please  note  that  exposure  to  long  wavelength  light  outside  of  the  sensors 

visible optical range can affect the image. 

  For stabilized image capturing, turn ON the power supply and execute aging for 

ten to twenty minutes before actually using the camera unit. 

  Do not share the power supply with motor units or other devices that generate 

noise interference. 

  Do not disconnect the camera while rewriting the embedded memory.   

  When  you  change  the  exposure  mode  that  is  set  at  the  NED  factory,  input 

control signal (CC1) from the capture board. 

  SG (Signal Ground) and FG (Frame Ground) are connected inside the camera. 

Please install your system such that a loop is not created by the GND potential 

difference.
