INTRODUCTION
1.1
Scope
This manual covers the Owl 640 M digital camera and all applicable components. Raptor recommends
that this manual be used to optimize camera operation.
1.2
Camera Care
Raptor cameras require no regular maintenance except occasional external cleaning of the sensor
window (the glass window between the camera sensor and the microscope or lens). Should any other
issues occur please contact your local agent.
To clean the sensor window: gently wipe the face of the sensor window with a small amount of optical
grade isopropyl alcohol and lens paper. Apply forced air again to remove any loose particles.
CAUTION
— The camera’s sensor, and circuits are sensitive to static discharge. Ensure you are using a
static strap or are completely grounded at all times to release any static energy before you clean the
window.
CAUTION
— Do not use acetone.
1.3
CameraLink Cable
If using a CameraLink cable not supplied direct from Raptor, for CE compliance we recommend using a
screened CameraLink cable with ferrite (100 ohms at 100MHz) fitted as close to the camera as possible.
