Compliance, safety, and intended use Safety Handling and operating of Mako U cameras does not include risks of personal injury. To prevent material damage, read the following and understand how to safely handle and operate the camera. Get helpful details about USB 3.0 and learn how to optimize camera performance. - Page 16 Compliance, safety, and intended use Ground loops Unsuitable connection can lead to a short circuit caused by ground loops between USB GND, GPIO GND, and environmental setup GND. This short circuit can lead to malfunctions or destroy camera and connected devices. Mount the camera electrically isolated to avoid ground loops.
- Page 17 Compliance, safety, and intended use Ground loop explanation Ground loops can occur only for camera applications including both: • PELV-powered devices in the machine application • Use of camera GPIOs With the graphics on the following pages, you can easily recognize if ground loops may occur for your application.

Page 21: Optical Components
Compliance, safety, and intended use Optical components Image sensor Image sensors are sensitive to excessive radiation: focused sunlight, lasers, and X-rays can damage the sensor. Mako U cameras are not fitted with filter or protection glass. Consider, when removing the lens or dust cap on these cameras, the sensor is not protected against dirt or scratches. - Page 22 Mount Figure 6: Mount and protrusion Cleaning optical components New Allied Vision cameras do not need additional cleaning. Cameras are cleaned before shipping. Reference images for each camera document cleaning quality. However, if cleaning is necessary: • Use only recommended cleaning material.
-
Page 23: Heat Dissipation
Compliance, safety, and intended use Compressed air We recommend wet cleaning, see Cleaning optical components on page 100. If wet cleaning does not succeed, we recommend you to contact support@alliedvision.com. In general, compressed air should be avoided. Wrong handling can damage optical components irreversibly, especially the sensitive sensor. -

Page 98: Recovering The Firmware
Firmware recovery Recovering the firmware You should recover firmware only when the camera cannot be operated properly, even after several restarts. Precautions Keep the camera connected Keep the camera connected while you are executing a firmware recovery. If you disconnect the camera from USB during firmware recovery, the camera firmware may get into a non-functional state. -

Page 101: Keep Optical Components Clean
Cleaning optical components Keep optical components clean The best way to ensure the camera remains clean is to avoid penetration of foreign substances into the camera. Always store cameras and lenses with dust caps on. When mounting or dismounting a camera lens or dust cap, always hold the camera with the mount opening pointing downwards. -
Page 102: Dirt
Cleaning optical components Dirt Dirt vs. pixel defects Do not confuse dirt with a pixel defect, which appears as a distinct point. Particles can either rest loosely or can be more or less stuck to the optical surface. Dirt not affecting the image If small visible dust or dirt particles on glass surfaces can be observed from the outside, this does not necessarily mean that these particles affect image quality. -
Page 103: Examining Optical Components For Dirt
Cleaning optical components Examining optical components for dirt Before dismounting the lens, determine whether the dirt is situated on the filter, lens, or sensor. Examination instructions 1. Acquire a uniform image, such as a white sheet of paper. 2. Rotate the optical component. If the dirt spots follows rotation, they are on this component‘s optical surface. -

Cleaning optical components Cleaning instructions Workplace conditions • Carry out all cleaning operations (on lenses, filter or protection glass, and sensor) in a clean dust-free room. • Avoid touching optical components with your fingers or any hard material. Otherwise, they may be damaged. 1. - Page 105 Cleaning optical components 4. If dust spots remain, repeat this procedure once, using new clean lens tissue (as described above).
