System Precautions and Cleaning
Precautions
Read these precautions and this manual before using the camera.
Do not open the housing of the camera. The warranty is voided if the housing is
opened.
Confirm that the camera's packaging is undamaged before opening it. If the packaging is
•
damaged please contact the related logistics personnel.
Keep the camera's front plate temperature in a range of 0 °C to 65 °C during operation.
•
•
Do not operate the camera in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic fields. In addition, avoid
electrostatic charging, violent vibration, and excess moisture.
•
Though this camera supports hot plugging, it is recommended that you power down and
disconnect power to the camera before you add or replace system components.
Cleaning the Device
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.
Electrostatic Discharge and the CMOS Sensor
Image sensors and the camera bodies housing are susceptible to damage from electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Electrostatic charge introduced to the sensor window surface can induce charge
buildup on the underside of the window. If this occurs, the charge normally dissipates within 24
hours and the sensor returns to normal operation.
Recommended System Requirements
To achieve best system performance, the following minimum requirements are recommended:
•
High bandwidth frame grabber. For example, Teledyne DALSA Xtium-CL series frame
grabbers: http://www.teledynedalsa.com/imaging/products/fg/#digital-cameralink.
•
Operating systems: Refer to frame grabber documentation for supported platforms.
