1.8 Precautions
For more specific information about the lens thread length, see Section 1.4.2 on page 8.
For more information about camera power, see Section 5.5 on page 32.
NOTICE
Avoid dust on the sensor.
The camera is shipped with a protective plastic seal on the lens mount. To avoid collecting dust
on the camera’s IR cut filter (color cameras) or sensor (mono cameras), make sure that you
always put the protective seal in place when there is no lens mounted on the camera.
NOTICE
On all cameras, the lens thread length is limited.
All cameras (mono and color) are equipped with a plastic filter holder located in the lens mount.
The location of the filter holder 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 filter holder or the lens mount will be
damaged or destroyed and the camera will no longer operate properly.
NOTICE
If you are supplying power to the camera via Power over Camera Link (PoCL), you must use a
PoCL compliant frame grabber and you must use Camera Link cables that are specifically
designed for PoCL as specified in the Camera Link standard. Failure to use a PoCL compliant
frame grabber or the correct cables can result in severe damage to the camera.
If you are supplying power to the camera via the 4-pin M5 connector, the voltage of the power to
the camera must be between +10.8 VDC and +13.2 VDC.
1. If the voltage is greater than +13.2 VDC, severe damage to the camera can result.
2. 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.
