Caution
1. Alterations or modifications carried out without appropriate authorization may invalidate
the user’s right to operate the equipment. Refer to the ExcelSense Hardware Terms and
Conditions, found here, for more information.
2. If powering the device using DC voltage, a Class 2 24VDC 3A power supply is
recommended to ensure the best picture quality and stable operation. With its internal
protection and regulation, ToughEye™ can be operated with an unregulated 24VDC
power supply. In this scenario, voltage fluctuation limits will be dependent on setup.
Refer to the Electrical Specifications section on ToughEye-1700™ operational limits.
3. If powering the device using power-over-ethernet (PoE), only connect to IEEE 802.3at
compliant power sourcing equipment (PSE) devices with all software-layer (e.g. LLDP,
CDP, etc.) communications disabled on the port, which should be preset to deliver up to
30W of guaranteed power. Failure to meet these requirements may cause faults that can
lead to permanent damage to the ToughEye-1700™’s internal electronics.
4. Only use fully-compatible cabling, as recommended by ExcelSense representatives, to
connect ToughEye-1700™ cameras in your application. Failure to do this may cause
unintended behaviour and permanent damage.
5. This device is not compatible with ToughEye-3100™ cabling. If replacing a
ToughEye-3100™ product with this device, new cabling or an appropriate ExcelSense
adapter cable must be used with this device. Consult your ExcelSense representative for
more information.
6. It is recommended that ToughEye-1700™ be used with the ExcelSense Analog Monitor
when analog view is required. However, ToughEye-1700™ may be used with any analog
monitor (NTSC or PAL) using a 75Ω impedance level coaxial cable.
7. Do not attempt to disassemble ToughEye-1700™ in order to access internal
components. Consult ExcelSense for technical support as required.
8. Never face the ToughEye-1700™ directly towards the sun or any bright or reflective light,
which may cause smear on the picture and possible damage to the CCD.
9. Do not remove the ToughEye-1700™ label containing P/N and S/N information for
warranty service.
10. Never expose ToughEye-1700™ to conditions outside those specified in the
Specifications section. Doing this can cause permanent damage to the device.
11. Damaged ToughEye-1700™ equipment must be replaced through an ExcelSense
representative. Failure to do this may cause incompatibilities and permanent damage to
the system.
12. Always clean the ToughEye-1700™ lens by performing cleaning cycles (see Triggering
the ToughEye-1700™ section for details). Do not clean the lens manually.
ToughEye-1700™ may also be pressure washed as an alternative.
