2.2 Installation Procedure
2.2.1 Precautions
NOTICE
If the voltage of the power to the camera is greater than +13.2 VDC damage to the camera can
result. If the voltage is less than +10.8 VDC, the camera may operate erratically.
Applying power with the wrong polarity can result in severe damage to the camera.
1. Always make sure that the voltage of the power to the camera is within the specified range.
2. Always make sure that the polarity of the applied voltage is correct.
NOTICE
Making or breaking connections incorrectly can damage the camera.
1. Be sure that all power to your camera and to your host PC 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 or to the frame grabber.
2. If you can't switch off the power, be sure that:
a. The input power plug is the last connector that you plug into the camera when making
connections.
b. The input power plug is the first connector that you unplug from the camera when
breaking connections.
NOTICE
An incorrect plug can damage the 6-pin connector.
The plug on the cable that you attach to the camera's 6-pin connector must have 6 female pins.
Use of a smaller plug, such as one with 4 pins, can damage the pins in the camera's 6-pin
connector.
NOTICE
On color cameras, the lens thread length is limited.
Color models of the camera with a C-mount lens adapter are equipped with an IR cut filter
mounted inside of the adapter. The location of this filter limits the length of the threads on any lens
you use with the camera. If a lens with a very long thread length is used, the IR cut filter will be
damaged or destroyed and the camera will no longer operate. Do not use a lens with a thread
length greater than 7.5 mm.
