responsible for damages and injury, which can occur due to false handling of the product and ignoring the
safety instructions. All warranty will be spoiled in this case.
Intended use
IDS industrial cameras are to be used to capture images for visualization and image processing tasks. They
are designed for use in industrial environments. Please comply with the requirements for the proper use of this
product. Failure to do so will render the warranty void.

service, please contact the support team.
·
The product is not a toy. Operate and store out of the reach of children.
Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Board-level cameras are especially sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Make sure to avoid mechanical or
electrical damage of the printed circuit board or its connections. Wear ESD-protective clothing and observe
the rules for handling ESD-sensitive components.
·
Do not touch the printed circuit board while it is powered.
·
Always hold the board by the edges to avoid the risk of electrostatic discharge damage.
·
For optimum ESD behavior, a clearance of 4 mm from non-shielded housings must be maintained all the
way around. For shielded housings, a smaller clearance is possible.
·
Attach the board to a conductive surface using the fixing screws. If this is not possible, ensure an insulating
connection.
·
Use connecting cable with a low-resistance shield on both sides.
Installation, operation and maintenance
The product must be connected, taken into operation and maintained only by appropriately qualified
personnel. The error-free and safe operation of this product can only be ensured if it is properly transported,
stored, set up and assembled, and operated and maintained with due care. The installation, inspection,
maintenance, extension, and repair may only be done by authorized personnel.
·
Observe the specifications in the documentation when installing the product.
·
Do not subject the product to direct sunlight, moisture or shock. Note in particular the permitted IP code of

·
Before starting up, check if the electrical wiring corresponds to the specifications in the documentation.
Faulty wiring (overvoltage, undervoltage) can result in a damage in the electronics.
Transport
·
Only use ESD packaging for storage and transport of ESD-sensitive components.
·
Keep packing materials like films away from children. Abuse may result in suffocation.
