Precautions
Read these precautions carefully before using the camera.
Confirm that the camera’s packaging is undamaged before opening it. If the packaging is damaged
please contact the related logistics personnel.
Do not open the housing of the camera. The warranty is voided if the housing is opened.
Keep the camera’s front plate temperature in a range of 0 °C to
+65 °C during operation. The
camera can measure its internal temperature. Use this feature to record the internal temperature
of the camera when it is mounted in your system and operating under the worst-case conditions.
The camera will shut down if its internal temperature r80 °C.
Do not operate the camera near strong electromagnetic fields. In addition, avoid electrostatic
discharging, violent vibration, and excess moisture.
To clean the device, avoid electrostatic charging by using a dry, clean absorbent cotton cloth
dampened with a small quantity of pure alcohol. Do not use methylated alcohol. To clean the
surface of the camera housing, use a soft, dry cloth. To remove severe stains, use a soft cloth
dampened with a small quantity of neutral detergent and then wipe dry. Do not use volatile
solvents such as benzene and thinners, as they can damage the surface finish. Further cleaning
instructions are below.
It is recommended that you power down and disconnect power to the camera before you add or
replace system components.
Electrostatic Discharge and the CMOS Sensor
Image se
nsors and the camera’s housing can be susceptible to damage from severe electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Electrostatic charge introduced to the sensor window surface can induce charge
buildup on the underside of the window. The charge normally dissipates within 24 hours and the
sensor returns to normal operation.
