  • Page 8: More Information

    More information For more information on hardware and software read the following: • The AVT GigE Installation Guide describes the hardware installation pro- cedures for AVT GigE cameras and contains important safety instructions.. • AVT GigE Camera and Driver Features describes the camera controls of AVT‘s VIMBA SDK (GenICam) and feature related items.

  • Page 9: Camera Cleaning Instructions

    Camera cleaning instructions This chapter describes safety instructions/cautions valid for Mako cameras in case of cleaning lenses, optical filters/protection glass or sensors. Note • Please read these instructions before you contact your AVT camera dealer for assistance.  • Ask your AVT camera dealer if you are not familiar with the procedures described below.

  • Page 10: Is It An Impurity? - Identifying Impurities

    Is it an impurity? – Identifying impurities If you observe any image artefacts in your video preview of your Mako camera you may have impurities either on the lens, filter/protection glass or, on the sensor protection glass. Every Mako camera gets cleaned prior to sealing and shipment;...

  • Page 11: Cleaning Instructions

    Figure 3: Removing IR cut filter/protection glass using special tool (E9020001) 3. If the impurity is neither on the lens nor the IR cut filter/protection glass, it is probably on the sensor. Cleaning Instructions Perform all cleaning operations (lenses, filter/protection glass, and sensor) in a dust-free clean-room.
  • Page 12 3. Wipe the glass surface with a spiral motion from the center to the rim. Normally, several spiral wipes are recommended. Wipe only on glass avoiding contact to metal surfaces, because microscopic dirt could be released and could cause scratches on the glass. Figure 5: Sensor cleaning 4.
