Handling Precautions
1. This camera head is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to a sudden or severe impact.
2. The image displayed on the monitor may be affected when it is used at a place close to equipment generating
strong electromagnetic waves. This is not a malfunction and will not affect the actual image being recorded. To avoid
interference during operation, keep the system far from any source of electromagnetic waves.
3. As the camera head is heavy, hold it carefully not to drop when mounting or storing.
4. Do not use the camera in areas where it may be subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature, humidity, dust, or
vibrations. (For the operating environment conditions, see chapter 7, “SPECIFICATIONS“ on page 41.)
5. Install the PCIe extension box on a sturdy, level table or bench.
6. Be sure to install the PCIe extension box without blocking the opening for ventilation provided on it.
7. The camera head needs to be calibrated periodically (approx. every 3 months) for the level variations caused by
the influence of cosmic rays. For the calibration method, refer to the CCD Calibration in the online manual for the
cellSens or OLYMPUS Stream software.
8. As a countermeasure against PC virus infection, it is recommended to install an anti-virus software on the PC. Opera-
tion speeds of the cellSens/OLYMPUS Stream may slow down depending on the anti-virus software.
9. For operating the PC, refer to the instruction manual of the PC in use. Pay attention to the precautions and warnings,
etc. in the manual.
10. If cables are connected incorrectly, the product may malfunction. Be sure that every unit is connected correctly before
operating the product.
