Risks with repainting
There are several risks when disassembling or assembling an Axis product. There is always a certain yield loss during assembly. Training of
operators and the use of correct tools mediates some of the problems but they can never be fully avoided. Some of the risks include:
ESD Damage - Always handle the product in an ESD safe environment. Even if precautions are taken there is always a risk of ESD
damage. The damage can remain undetected and cause problems during the lifetime of the equipment.
Dust contamination - Opening a camera may expose the lens and sensor to dust or paint. Dust will affect the optical performance. Lenses need
to be disassembled in a dust-free environment, preferably a cleanroom.
Paint overspray - Masking the different components of the equipment is critical. Failure to mask sensitive areas can cause problems with
assembling the equipment. Any areas that are not painted at factory or have a different surface treatment than the rest of the parts (threads,
ground and electrical contact surfaces) must also be masked to ensure function.

2. Introduction
The following document is a guide to repaint AXIS P1445/47/48-LE Network Camera. The
document should be read in conjunction with the “Axis cameras and accessories Generic repainting
manual” (Document: 3486_Repaint_AXIS_Generic.pdf).
This document informs the reader how to dissemble the product (as far as possible) and the
sensitive areas that require attention.
Masking is a critical part of the process and should be completed professionally. Failure to mask
sensitive areas could cause problems with assembling and function of the equipment.
All screw holes need to be masked before painting. Any areas that is not painted from factory or
have a different surface treatment than the rest of the part (threads, ground and electrical contact
surfaces) must also be masked to ensure function.
Always employee a professional to undertake the painting work. It is advisable to complete a
single unit before painting a batch to ensure that the masking process is correct and that the finish
is satisfactory.
