14.
Vision Research highly recommends that you contact our Technical Support staff prior to
performing a firmware upgrade to a Phantom v9.0, v7.2, v7.1, v7.0, v5.1, v4.3, v4.2 camera
models.
15.
The Firmware Upgrade Process should never be used to load an earlier version of firmware
that is already loaded into the camera, and must never be used with IEEE 1394 camera
models.
16.
The Image-Based Auto-Trigger feature should never be used in applications where missed or
false triggers cannot be tolerated or where a false trigger could cause harm to people or
property.
17.
The hardware signaling available in some Image-Based Auto-Trigger modes should be used
only to synchronize multiple Phantom cameras together and should never be used to trigger or
control any other external device or event.
18.
CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROM SYSTEM FAILURE, FALSE TRIGGERING OR
MISUSE OF THIS FEATURE ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.
19.
In order for a Phantom v4.0, v4.1, v5.0, v6.0, or v6.1 camera to communicate properly with
the Phantom Control Unit, over an IEEE 1394 connection, the controller unit must use the
following Microsoft IEEE 1394 drivers:
a.
1394bus.sys, dated: May-4, 2001
b.
ochi 1394.sys, dated: May 4, 2001

Do not open the product; there is no user serviceable parts inside. All maintenance and
service work should be performed by qualified service personnel. The camera’s are
intended to be used in restricted access areas.
Installation
Do not expose your cameras and peripherals to excessive heat, moist and dirt. They are
intended to be used in a controlled environment, unless precautions have been taken for
outdoor use.
The cameras and peripherals should only be powered from an appropriate DC power supply
that fulfills the local safety and EMC demands or the appended AC adapter.
Do not install the camera in an excessively humid environment or near water.
Avoid liquids or any foreign object to get into the product.
The unit must be placed in a sufficiently ventilated area; the ambient temperature should not
exceed the specified temperature range.
It is important that ventilation air can move freely around the unit.
Operating Temperature
The Phantom cameras are designed to operate satisfactorily in an environment where the
ambient temperature is, for a:
Phantom v710, v640, v310, v210, v12.1; between 0°C and 40°C at 8% to 80% relative
humidity.
Phantom v10, v7.3, v5.2; between 10°C and 40°C at 80% relative humidity non-
condensing at 5°C.
