The FireWire (IEEE 1394 a) interface is defined as a "hot plugging"
interconnection, i.e. peripherals (cameras, drives, etc.) may be connected or
disconnected while the computer is powered up. In connection with this "hot
plugging" feature in isolated cases damages being caused to interface
components were reported, presumably due to a discharge of static electricity
during the insertion of the cables.
To avoid this kind of damage, we urge you to take careful note of the following
points before inserting or removing the
AxioCam MR’s
FireWire cable:
•
Avoid hot plugging with devices that are powered via the FireWire bus, i.e.
do not insert or remove the camera while the computer is switched on.
•
Use only high-quality and undamaged FireWire cables.
If you cannot avoid hot plugging, please take the following information into
account:
Sequence for cable insertion:
•
When you connect the camera to the PC, insert the cable into the PC first,
and only then into the camera head.
•
When you disconnect the FireWire camera from the PC, remove the cable
from the camera head first, and only then from the PC.
In this way the cable provides protection in the event that static electricity is
discharged.
Additional interface card:
As an added precaution, we also recommend that
you establish the FireWire connection via FireWire interface PCI cards rather than
the onboard FireWire interfaces. Alternatively, a FireWire hub can be connected
between the camera and PC.
Carl Zeiss is unable to accept any liability for damage that results from
failure to comply with these safety recommendations.
