6 Precautions
Incorrect plugs can damage the camera connectors. Use only the connectors
specified by Photonfocus in this manual. Using plugs designed for a smaller or a
larger number of pins can damage the connectors.
The cameras deliver the data to the vision system over interfaces with high band-
width. Use only shielded data cables to avoid EMC and data transmission issues.
High speed data cables are susceptible to mechanical stress. Avoid mechanical
stress and bending of the cables below the minimum bending radius of the ca-
bles during installation of your vision system. For robot applications appropriate
cables have to be used.
Inappropriate software code to control the cameras may cause unexpected cam-
era behaviour.
•
The code examples provided in the Photonfocus software package are in-
cluded as sample code only. Inappropriate code may cause your camera to
function differently than expected and may compromise your application.
The Photonfocus software package is available on the Photonfocus website:
www.photonfocus.com.
•
To ensure that the examples will work properly in your application, you
must adjust them to meet your specific needs and must carefully test them
thoroughly prior to use.
Avoid dust on the sensor.
The camera is shipped with a plastic cap on the lens mount. To avoid collecting
dust on the camera’s IR cut filter (colour cameras) or sensor (mono and mono NIR
cameras), make sure that you always put the plastic cap in place when there is
no lens mounted on the camera. Follow these general rules:
•
Always put the plastic cap in place when there is no lens mounted on the
camera.
•
Make sure that the camera is pointing down every time you remove or re-
place the plastic cap, a lens or a lens adapter.
•
Never apply compressed air to the camera. This can easily contaminate op-
tical components, particularly the sensor.
Cleaning of the sensor
Avoid cleaning the surface of the camera sensor or filters if possible. If you must
clean it:
•
Before cleaning disconnect the camera from camera power supply and I/O
connectors.
•
Follow the instructions given in the section “Cleaning the Sensor” in this
manual.
