Handling Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION
If the camera is operated in the electromagnetic field, there may be cases where beat
noises (vertical, horizontal, or oblique stripes) appear in the video output. In that
case, take preventive measures on the electromagnetic-wave generating source so
that your camera do not receive the interference by the electromagnetic-wave. Take
extra precautions against electromagnetic-wave-interference if your camera is used
with a servomotor, inverter, or other electromagnetic-wave-generating equipment.
CAUTION
Avoid giving a strong shock against the camera body. It might cause a breakdown
or damage. If your camera is used in a system where its camera head is subjected to
strong repetitive shocks, its camera head is possible to break down. If you intend to
use your camera in such a situation, make sure to use an optional
camera-connector-fixing-hardware to connect the connector-plug to the camera
body.
CAUTION
When the camera is not in use, put a lens or a lens-cap onto the camera head so that
the image pickup plane of CCD is protected from dust, foreign object, or any other
flaw-causing object. If the glass plane (image pickup plane) gets dirty, clean it with
a cotton swab. When it needs to be cleaned with a cleaner, be sure NOT to use any
organic solvent other than ethyl alcohol. As a countermeasure against
condensation, when the camera is moved from a warm condition/environment to a
cold one, take appropriate precautions to prevent condensation from forming on the
camera.
CAUTION
Do not pull strongly the camera cable/camera-head nor swing it. The stress from
pulling or swinging may cause damage in the coating of the cable, or breaks in the
inside wires.
CAUTION
Avoid short-circuiting signal output. Otherwise, it may cause a malfunction.
CAUTION
If too much amount of light, (= the incoming light amount of 100 times or greater in
comparison with standard light) enters CCD image pickup plane, video output
might not be obtained. In such a case, take measures to reduce the amount of
incoming light.
CAUTION
Do NEVER expose its camera head to any intensive light (such as direct sunlight).
Otherwise, its inner image pickup device might get damaged.
CAUTION
When mounting a lens, take extra caution so that the lens is not tilted, nor does flaw
exist at the lens-mount-screw part. Also check to confirm that no dirt nor other
foreign object is put inside. Improper mounting might cause the parts to become
locked.
