■ Minimum curve radius of the camera cable is 125mm. Be careful when using or storing camera
cable to give an ample space for the curvature.
■ Do not give an excessive impact or load to camera cables to avoid damage.
■ Whenever the cables are out of use, place the attached connector caps for protection of the
connectors.
■ In operation, connect the main unit’s connector cap and the camera cable’s connector cap
each other to avoid dirt and pollution and to keep clean inside.
The camera cable includes optics fibers. If dust or dirt is in inside of a connector, it may cause a
communication error. Keep clean the inside of connectors. If a connector is polluted, clean the fiber
edges by following instruction or using the bundled cleaning kit.
■ DO NOT use hard and/or sharp materials for cleaning.
■ Very gently, use only clean and dry air to remove dust from surface of the image sensor.
■ To remove stubborn contamination use the highest grade (e.g. VLSI grade) pure Isopropyl
alcohol (IPA) with optical wipes of ‘clean room’ grade.
■Fibers are indicated with a red circle over the cable cross-section.
