Important instructions to be read first
Please read these instructions before you contact Allied Vision or your Allied Vision
distribution partner for assistance.
Ask Allied Vision or your Allied Vision distribution partner if you are not familiar
with the procedures described below.
Monochrome and NIR models
As monochrome and NIR models do not have an optical filter, always attach a dust
cap when a lens is not attached to minimize the possibility of contaminants falling
on the sensor surface.

Warranty precautions
To ensure your warranty remains in effect:
•
Do not open the camera housing.
•
Follow instructions described below.
•
Use only optical quality tissue/cloth if you must clean a lens or filter.
•
Use only optics cleaner. Do not use aggressive cleaners like benzine or spirit.
Such cleaners may destroy the optical component’s surface.
•
Do not use compressed air which can push dust into camera and lens unless
you are trained to clean a camera using this method.
Allied Vision does not warranty against any physical damage to the sensor, filter,
protection glass, or lenses. Use utmost care when cleaning optical components.
