CAUTION
If the camera is operated in the electromagnetic field, there may be cases where beat noises
(vertical, horizontal, or oblique stripes) may appear in the video output. In that case, take
preventive measures on the electromagnetic-wave generating source so that the camera do
not receive the interference by the electromagnetic-wave. Take extra precautions against
electromagnetic-wave-interference if the camera is used with a servomotor, inverter, or
other electromagnetic-wave-generating equipment.
Do not give a strong impact/shock on the body of the camera. A strong impact/shock may
cause breakdown or damages. The camera connector may be broken if the camera is used in
the system in which the camera connector is exposed to strong impact/shock. To use the
camera and the camera connector under such hard-use condition, use an optional camera
connector mounting kit to ensure stable fixing of the connector’s plug onto the camera-
body.
Do not pull strongly nor swing the cable. The stress from pulling or swinging may
cause damages or breaks in the cable.
When the camera is not in use, put a lens or a lens-cap onto the camera head so that the
image pickup plane of CCD is protected from dust, foreign object, or other flaw-causing
object. If the glass plane (image pickup plane) gets dirty, clean it with a cotton swab. When
it needs to be cleaned with a cleaner, be sure NOT to use any organic solvent other than
ethyl alcohol. As a countermeasure against condensation, if and when the camera is moved
from a warm place to a cold place, take appropriate precautions to prevent condensation
from forming on the camera.
To avoid breakdown, do not let video output get short-circuited.
To avoid breakdown, do not expose the camera head to any intensive light (such as
sunlight).
When mounting the lens onto the camera head, be sure to check and confirm that the lens is
set properly onto the camera head with no tilt/slant. In addition, confirm that the screw-
mounting part is free from flaws or dusts and other foreign objects. Otherwise, it may
become to dismount the lens after use.
