Usage Precautions

Notes on cable configurations

The presence of lighting equipment and television receivers nearby may result in
video noise. In such cases, change the cable configurations or placement.

Notes on LAN cable connection

Secure the locking screws on the connector manually,
and do not use a driver. Do not secure the screws too

tightly. Doing so may wear down the screw threads

on the camera. (Tightening torque: 0.147 Nm or less)

Notes on temperature conditions

The guaranteed operating temperature and humidity of this camera are

-5℃ to +45℃, 20% to 80% (non-condensing).
Please make sure the following temperature condition is met when operating
the unit.

1) The camera's internal temperature sensor detects temperatures of 101 °C
or less during operation.

If the above temperature conditions are exceeded, take measures to dissipate
heat according to your installation environment and conditions.

SW-4000Q-10GE

Secure manually.
Do not secure too tightly.

Notes on attaching the lens

Avoiding dust particles
When attaching the lens to the camera, stray dust and other particles may adhere
to the sensor surface and rear surface of the lens. Be careful of the following
when attaching the lens.

• Work in a clean environment.

• Do not remove the caps from the camera and lens until immediately before
you attach the lens.

• To prevent dust from adhering to surfaces, point the camera and lens
downward and do not allow the lens surface to come into contact with your
hands or other objects.

• Always use a blower brush to remove any dust that adheres.
Never use your hands or cloth, blow with your mouth, or use other methods to
remove dust.

Depending on the operating environment,
the surface of the camera may become very hot
during operation.
Do not touch the camera during operation and
while it is being cooled.
Also, make sure that the cable surface and other
easily deformable items do not contact the surface
of the camera.

Phenomena specific to CMOS image sensors

The following phenomena are known to occur on cameras equipped with CMOS
image sensors. These do not indicate malfunctions.

• Aliasing
When shooting straight lines, stripes, and similar patterns, vertical aliasing
(zigzag distortion) may appear on the monitor.

• Blooming
When strong light enters the camera, some pixels on the CMOS image sensor
may receive much more light than they are designed to hold, causing the
accumulated signal charge to overflow into surrounding pixels.This
“blooming” phenomenon can be seen in the image, but does not affect the
operation of the camera.

• Fixed pattern noise
When shooting dark objects in high-temperature conditions, fixed pattern noise
may occur throughout the entire video monitor screen.

• Defective pixels
Defective pixels (white and black pixels) of the CMOS image sensor are
minimized at the factory according to shipping standards. However, as this
phenomenon can be affected by the ambient temperature, camera settings
(e.g., high sensitivity and long exposure), and other factors, be sure to operate

within the camera’s specified operating environment.

Note

In order to operate at the maximum line rate, 10-25V DC power must be connected to
both Pin1/Pin2 and Pin 11/Pin12. If you supply power to only one pin pair, the camera
may operate at less than the maximum line rate or may not operate at all.
IMPORTANT! You must supply the same voltage to each pin pair. If you supply different
voltages to each pin pair, the power unit of the camera will be damaged.

Caution

The maximum performance of the camera may not be realized depending on the lens.

Note

The following formula can be used to estimate the focal length.
focal length = WD/(1 + W/w)

WD: Working distance (distance between lens and object)
W : Width of object
w : Width of sensor 30.72 mm on this camera.

② Direct connection

When mounting the camera directly to another device, for example, use screws that match the
camera locking screw holes on the camera. (M4, 6 mm depth)

Caution

For heavy lenses, be sure to support the lens itself. Do not use configurations in which its weight
is supported by the camera.
