Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning the camera casing
: If the camera casing is only slightly soiled, clean it with a soft, slightly moistened piece
of cloth e.g., the microfiber cleaning cloth included with your camera. Make sure that no water enters the camera and
risks becoming in contact with any internal components. Do not use any aggressive substances or solvents to clean
your camera.
Cleaning the filter glass:
Cleaning the filter glass by yourself is not recommended. If the filter glass is severely soiled,
please contact your expert dealer or the manufacturer for assistance.
Trigger Operation
Some PROGRES GRYPHAX cameras support trigger operation (connection to an external trigger device, which delivers
the signal (Trigger In) to the camera and which will react, e.g. by capturing an image. After image capture, the camera
delivers a signal to the device (Trigger Out) to signal the completion of the function. Trigger Out does not require any
additional power supply; for Trigger In, power supply must be set up for the external device. Connect the cable shield
with the casing of the external device. Only use shielded cables.

assistance.
Caution, risk of damage by unsuitable environment conditions!
Do not expose the camera to
extreme environment conditions. Avoid extremely high or low temperatures, and keep the camera away
from high humidity, liquids, chemical gases, dust or high electro-magnetic fields.

Some PROGRES GRYPHAX cameras are
equipped with louvers on the rear side. Ensure that the cameras are sufficiently ventilated and that the
louvers are not covered.
