If this hardware does cause interference with licensed radio communications services or other nearby
electronics, which can be determined by turning the hardware off and on, you are encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
Reorient the antenna of the receiver (the device suffering interference).
•
Relocate the transmitter (the device generating interference) with respect to the receiver.
•
Plug the transmitter into a different outlet so that the transmitter and the receiver are on different
branch circuits.
Some hardware may require the use of a metal, shielded enclosure (windowless version) to meet the
EMC requirements for special EMC environments such as, for marine use or in heavy industrial areas.
Refer to the hardware’s user documentation and the DoC
1
for product installation requirements.
When the hardware is connected to a test object or to test leads, the system may become more sensitive
to disturbances or may cause interference in the local electromagnetic environment.
Operation of this hardware in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference. Users are required
to correct the interference at their own expense or cease operation of the hardware.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by National Instruments could void the user’s right to
operate the hardware under the local regulatory rules.
Thermal Considerations and Mounting
To maximize the cooling efficiency of the NI EVS-1463, observe the following recommendations:
•
Mount the NI EVS-1463 on a thermally conductive surface.
•
Avoid static air environments.
•
Mount the NI EVS-1463 with the heatsink facing upward. If you mount the NI EVS-1463 on a wall
or other vertical surface, mount the device so that the heat sink fins are vertical.
Note
The NI EVS-1463 Camera Link hardware is equipped with a temperature monitor. The
Camera Link hardware will stop acquiring images if it reaches its maximum allowable temperature.
An error will occur, reporting that the maximum temperature has been reached.
Refer to the
NI EVS-1463 Series User Manual
for dimensional drawings, additional mounting
information, and detailed device specifications.
Unpacking and Verifying Components
Remove the NI EVS-1463 from the package and inspect the device for any sign of damage. Notify
National Instruments if the device appears damaged in any way. Do not use a damaged device.
Installing Hardware
Ensure that the AC input to the external power supply is disconnected before plugging in or unplugging
any connector. Ground the unit to minimize the possibility of static electricity damage.
