• Use only the PCI Express interface card, cables, and power supply designated
for this camera system. Using non-Kinetix cables, PCI Express interface cards,
or power supplies may result in unexpected errors or permanent damage to
the system.
• Do not use a C-mount lens with optics that extend behind the lens flange.
Environmental
Requirements
The Kinetix camera system should be operated in a clean, dry environment. The camera
system’s ambient operating temperature is 0°C to 30°C with 80% relative humidity,
non-condensing.
Storage
Requirements
Store the Kinetix camera system in its original containers. To protect the system from
excessive heat, cold and moisture, store at an ambient temperature between -20°C and
60°C with a relative humidity of 0% to 90%, noncondensing.
Microscopes,
Lenses, and
Tripods
The camera has standard threaded adapter mounts and can be mounted to any
microscope that accepts a standard C-mount adapter, F-mount adapter, or a T-mount
adapter. The camera also allows you to install any lens that is compatible with the
standard threaded mounts as long as its optics do not extend behind the flange of the
adapter. Kinetix can be mounted to optical tables, tripods, and copy stands using the
eight ¼-20 threaded attachment points located near the camera front on all sides. A
crosshair indicates the location of the sensor for optical alignment purposes.
Repairs
Please save the original packing materials so you can safely ship the camera to another
location or return it for repairs if necessary. The Kinetix camera system contains no
user-serviceable parts. Repairs must be done by
Teledyne Photometrics. Should the
camera system require repairs, please contact Teledyne Photometrics Customer
Service.
Note: Do not open the camera. Opening the Kinetix camera voids the warranty.
Cleaning
Clean exterior surfaces of the camera with a dry, lint-free cloth. To remove stains,
contact
Teledyne Photometrics Customer Service. To clean the camera’s imaging
window, use only a filtered compressed-air source. Hand-held cans are not
recommended as they may spray propellant onto the window. Do not touch the
window.
