2. PRECAUTIONS

NOTE: It is advised to include the text of this chapter in the assembly documents of the

system in

which the camera is used.

A CMOS sensor camera is a sensitive device. Please read the following precautions

carefully before

you continue unpacking or operating the camera.

2.1. Safety precautions

2.1.1. General

It is advised to unpack and handle the camera in a clean, ESD protected working area.

It is advised to read the whole manual before using the camera.

2.1.2. Safety symbols

The following safety symbols are applicable to and indicated on the camera.

Symbol for “Conformité Européenne”

The exclamation mark within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the

user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing)

instructions in the literature accompanying the instrument.

2.2. Handling

2.2.1. General

In order to prevent damage to the camera and to keep the CMOS sensor clean, please take

the following precautions.

Always keep the sensor cap in place, as long as no lens is attached.

Remove the lens cap just before the lens is screwed on the camera. It is advised to perform

this operation in a clean room or clean bench.

Never touch the CMOS sensor surface. The cover glass is easily damaged and the CMOS

sensor can be damaged by ESD (electrostatic discharge).

2.2.2. Cleaning of the CMOS sensor

Cleaning of a CMOS sensor is a rather difficult task. Depending on the aperture of the lens

used, any dust particles with a size of 10μand larger can show up in your image.

All cameras are checked for cleanliness in our factory before shipment. Proper handling

instructions during system assembly can prevent the CMOS sensor from getting

contaminated.

Should cleaning of the CMOS sensor be necessary follow the instruction below.

2012-03-29 Manual Q-8V100 and S-25A30 Rev. 0.1 preliminary

NOTE: that damage of the CMOS sensor due to scratches on the cover glass or

electrostatic discharge (ESD) is not covered by warranty!

The correct working environment for cleaning is essential in order to ease cleaning and to

prevent damage of the CMOS sensor.

Precautions:

Take precautions to prevent ESD that can damage the CMOS sensor.

Cleaning of the CMOS sensor, and assembly of the lens is preferably performed in a

clean room or clean bench.Never try to clean the CMOS sensor at a relative humidity

lower than 30 %. A relative humidity of 40 % or higher is preferred in order to

minimize the chance of damage due to ESD.

It is advisable to use an ionizer, in order to minimize the built-up of ESD.

Be sure to clean the lensmount of the lens before assembly.

Use non-fluffing Q-tips and Alcohol (or Hexane) for cleaning. De-ionized water may be

necessary to remove ionic contaminants like salts.

Any Q-tip should be used only once - you will otherwise move dirt from one place to

another.

Never dry rub the window. This may cause static charges or scratches that can destroy

the CMOS sensor.

Cleaning instructions:

1.First try to remove the contamination by using clean, dry air. (Use an ultra-filtered, non-

residue dust remover spray). Avoid blowing air into the screw thread of the

lensmount, because this may cause contamination on the CMOS sensor due to loose

particles and traces of oil or grease. If this step does not result in an acceptable

result, continue with step 2.

2.Remove the lensmount by unscrewing the 4 crosshead screws that hold the

lensmount.

3.Clean the inner screw thread of the lensmount using Alcohol or Hexane and a Q-tip.

4.Clean the CMOS sensor cover glass using Alcohol or Hexane and a Q-tip.

Gently and carefully rub the window always in the same direction, e.g. top to down.

5.Install the lensmount back on the camera front. Maximum tightening force may not

exceed 0.3 Nm.

6.Install a lens, power up the camera, set the lens at a small aperture (F16) and point the

lens at a bright source. Adjust gain and integration time if necessary.

7.Check the image on the monitor for dark spots and stripes caused by contamination on

the CMOS sensor cover glass. (Note that the image on the monitor should not

saturate due to over-exposure - if necessary close the iris even further).

8.If the CMOS sensor is not clean, repeat steps 4 - 7 using a new Q-tip. After three

unsuccessful tries, it is advised to wait a few minutes before a new attempt is made

to clean the CMOS sensor. (The waiting time allows the electric charge that has been

built up during cleaning to neutralize).

2.2.3. Cleaning of the camera

The camera shall NEVER be immersed in water or any other fluid. For cleaning, only use a

light moist tissue.

2.2.4. Maintenance

No specific maintenance other than cleaning is applicable.

2012-03-29 Manual Q-8V100 and S-25A30 Rev. 0.1 preliminary

2.2.5. Repair and modification

Repair, modification and replacement of parts shall be done only by Adimec to maintain

compliance

with the directive 89/336/EEC electromagnetic compatibility and directive 72/23/EEC low

voltage directive and the international standards.

2.2.6. Peripheral equipment

For safety, use an external SELV qualified power supply. Maximum current 1 A.

For safety, peripheral equipment must either be double isolated or SELV qualified.

2.2.7. Mounting / Mechanical

Connectors

Take care during handling of the camera. The Camera Link connector and the power

connector should not be damaged.

The maximum tightening torque for the Camera Link connector may not exceed 0.26 Nm.

Prevent the entry of foreign objects or dirt into the connectors, as this will result in unreliable

operation or damage.

Mounting screws

Take notice of the maximum length of the screws that may be used for mounting of the

camera. Using screws too long can cause damage to the camera. Maximum screw length: 5

mm.

3. INSTALLATION

In this chapter all three electrical interfaces as well as the mechanical and optical interface

are described. If a lens and all interfaces are available, it is possible to refer to the quick start

paragraph at the end of this chapter. The other paragraphs describe the interfaces in detail.

3.1.1. I/O connector

An input for external triggering of the camera as well as control of an external flash light is

available at the I/O connector.

The input and output are fully programmable. For reference see paragraph [TBD].

The input and output are galvanic isolated from the internal camera electronics by means of

an optocoupler (Vishay type SFH6156-2).
