6.3.3.
Connections
Use only recommended connectors and cables. Please check the system requirements described in
6.3.4.
Power supply
Camera requires external power supply.
6.3.5.
Environment / protect against water
Use camera in acceptable environment only, please note the descriptions in
Protect the camera against contact with water. Do not let camera get wet.
Damages may be caused by:
•
Overheating
•
Contact with water
•
Operation in an environment with condensing humidity
•
Mechanical shock
6.3.6.
Recommended light conditions.
Do not expose the camera to light sources with intense energy, e.g. laser beams or X-ray.
Light intensity or exposure time exceeding the saturation of the sensor may damage the sensor irreparably. This may occur e.g. in
the following situations:
•
High-energy laser light hitting the sensor directly
•
Bright light sources hitting the sensor directly (burn-in)
•
Camera is exposed to X-rays
The warranty does not cover damaged cameras caused by X-ray applications or too much light / laser light.
6.3.7.
Protect the optical components
Do not touch the optical components with hard or abrasive objects.
When handling the camera, avoid touching the lenses and filter glasses. Fingerprints or other impurities may affect the image
quality and may damage the surfaces.
Mount / dismount lenses and additional filters only in a dust free environment.
Do not use compressed air as this could push dust into the camera (and lenses).
6.3.8.
Mechanical loads
Avoid excessive shaking, throwing, dropping or any kind of mishandling of the device.
6.3.9.
Camera / lens cleaning
Please follow instructions described below.
•
Use only optical quality tissue / cloth (dry cotton) a standard camera lens cleaning kit, if you must clean a lens or filter. Do
not apply excessive force.
•
Use only optics cleaner (e.g. 60% ethyl alcohol, 40% ether). Never use aggressive cleaners like gasoline or spirits. Such
cleaners may destroy the surface.
•
Do not use compressed air.
6.3.10.
Protect against static discharge (ESD)
Image sensors and the PCB are easily damaged by static discharge (ESD).
•
Please use anti-static gloves, clothes and materials. Also use conductive shoes.
•
wear an ESD protection wrist strap.
•
Install a conductive mat on the floor and / or working table to prevent the generation of static electricity.
