10 Kuro sCMOS Camera System Manual Issue 2
1.6 Kuro Safety Information
Before turning on the power supply, the ground prong of the power cord plug must be
properly connected to the ground connector of the wall outlet. The wall outlet must
have a third prong, or must be properly connected to an adapter that complies with
these safety requirements.
WARNINGS!
1. If the Kuro camera system is used in a manner not
specified by Teledyne Princeton Instruments, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
2. If the equipment or the wall outlet is damaged, the
protective grounding could be disconnected. Do not
use damaged equipment until its safety has been
verified by authorized personnel. Disconnecting the
protective earth terminal, inside or outside the
apparatus, or any tampering with its operation is also
prohibited.
Inspect the supplied power cord. If it is not compatible with the power socket, replace
the cord with one that has suitable connectors on both ends.
WARNING!
Replacement power cords or power plugs must have the
same polarity and power rating as that of the original ones
to avoid hazard due to electrical shock.
1.7 Precautions
To prevent permanently damaging the Kuro system, observe the following precautions
at all times:
• If using high-voltage equipment (such as an arc lamp) with the camera system,
turn the camera power on last and when powering down, power the camera off
first.
• Never connect or disconnect any cable while the system is powered on.
• The camera's power should be switched off before disconnecting any camera
system cables. However it is not necessary to power off the computer to detach
the cables.
• Use caution when triggering high-current switching devices (such as an arc
lamp) near the system. The image sensor can be permanently damaged by
transient voltage spikes. If electrically noisy devices are present, an isolated,
conditioned power line or dedicated isolation transformer is highly
recommended.
• Always leave one inch of space around the camera's external cooling fins for
airflow.
• Do not operate the camera without cooling (air or liquid.)
• Never open the camera. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the Kuro
camera. Opening the camera voids the warranty.
• Use only the PCI Express interface card, cables and power supply designated for
this camera system. Using non-Kuro cables, PCI Express interface cards, or
power supplies may result in permanent damage to the system.
• Do not use a C-mount lens with optics that extend behind the lens flange.
