Introduction

1.6 Precautions

Power
To ensure that your warranty remains in effect:
Read the manual
Read the manual carefully before using the camera.
Keep foreign matter outside of the camera
Do not open the casing. Touching internal components may damage them.
Be careful not to allow liquid, flammable, or metallic material inside the camera housing. If
operated with any foreign matter inside, the camera may fail or cause a fire.
Electromagnetic fields
Do not operate the camera in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic fields. Avoid electrostatic
charging.
Transporting
Only transport the camera in its original packaging. Do not discard the packaging.
Cleaning
Avoid cleaning the surface of the CCD sensor if possible. If you must clean it, use a soft, lint free
cloth dampened with a small quantity of pure alcohol. Do not use methylated alcohol.
Because electrostatic discharge can damage the CCD sensor, you must use a cloth that will not
generate static during cleaning (cotton is a good choice).
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, then wipe dry.
Do not use volatile solvents such as benzine and thinners; they can damage the surface finish.

Draft
Caution!
Be sure that all power to your system is switched off before you make or break
connections to the camera. Making or breaking connections when power is on
can result in damage to the camera.
The camera is not protected for reverse voltage. If reverse voltage is applied
to the camera while it is connected to a frame grabber in a PC, the camera
could be seriously damaged.
The camera has overvoltage protection, but we do not recommend applying an
input voltage greater than 13.2 VDC. If an input voltage greater than 14.5 VDC
is applied to the camera, the camera will automatically switch off the internal
power applied to the CCD sensor so that the sensor will be protected. In this
situation, you will still be able to communicate with the camera and the camera
will still be able to transmit test images, however, no live images can be gen-
erated.
