    Introduction Caution Do not exceed environmental specifications. See environmental specifications limits in the Specifications  chapter of this document. Special care must be taken to main- tain a reasonable operating temperature. If the camera is oper- ated in temperatures higher than the specified range, the camera should be mounted on a heat sink.
  • Page 10: Cleaning With Air

    Introduction If it is determined that the debris is on the inside surface of the filter glass, or on the sensor glass, IR filter removal is necessary. Depending on the manufac- turing date of your Prosilica GE camera, the IR filter may be slot type, or pinhole type.

  • Page 31: Filters

    Filters Filters All Prosilica GE color models are equipped with an infrared block filter (IR fil- ter). This filter is employed to prevent infrared wavelength photons from pass- ing to the sensor. In the absence of IR filter, images are dominated by red and incapable of being properly color balanced.

  • Page 37: C-Mount Flange Focal Distance

    Camera dimensions C-Mount flange focal distance Flange focal distance is the optical distance from the mounting flange to image sensor die. Prosilica GE C-Mount cameras are optically calibrated to a standard 17.526 mm optical flange focal distance, with a ±10 μm tolerance. Prosilica GE cameras are shipped with adjustable C-Mount.
  • Page 38: Lens Protrusion For C-Mount Cameras

    Camera dimensions Image to infinity Use a C-Mount compatible lens that allows an infinity focus. Set the lens to infinity and image a distant object—10 to 15 m should suffice. Make sure the lens is firmly threaded onto the C-Mount ring. Rotate the lens and C-Mount ring until the image is focused.
  • Page 39: F-Mount Flange Focal Distance

    Camera dimensions F-Mount flange focal distance Flange focal distance is the optical distance from the mounting flange to image sensor die. Prosilica GE F-Mount cameras are optically calibrated to a standard 46.5 mm optical flange focal distance. Adjustment of F-Mount The F-Mount is adjusted at the factory and should not require adjusting.
