    Please carefully read section Handling Precautions and Preventing Operational Faults Due to ESD before installation. If you are familiar with Camera Link HS (CLHS) cameras and Teledyne DALSA frame grabbers, follow the Quick Start section to quickly install and test image acquisition with the Linea HS2 and the CamExpert tool provided with Sapera LT.

  • Page 17: Preventing Operational Faults Due To Esd

    Static electricity can disrupt camera operation or damage sensitive electronic components. Before handling the camera, always discharge any static electrical charge from your body by touching a grounded surface. Teledyne DALSA has performed ESD testing on cameras using an 8 kV ESD generator without any indication of operational faults.
