1 Product Precautions
Do not give shock to the camera.
Do not haul or damage the camera cable.
Do not wrap the camera with any material while using the camera. This will cause the internal camera
temperature to increase.
When the camera moving or using the place that temperature difference isextreme, countermeasure for
dew condensation (heat removal / cold removal) is necessary.
While the camera is not using, keep the lens cap on the camera to prevent dust or contamination from getting
in the sensor or filter and scratching or damaging it.
Do not keep the camera under the following conditions.
・ In wet, moist, high humidity or dusty place
・ Under direct sunlight
・ In extreme high or low temperature place
・ Near an object that releases a strong magnetic or electric filed
・ Place with strong vibrations
Apply the power that satisfies the specified in specifications for the camera.
The defective pixels may appear due to the sensor characteristics.
Use below recommend materials (or equivalent materials) to clean the surface of glass.
・ Air dust: Non Freon air duster (NAKABAYASHI Co., LTD.)
・ Alcohol: Propan-2-ol (SAN’EI KAKO Co., LTD.)
・ Non-woven: nikowipe clean room (NKB)
Use a soft cloth to clean the camera.
No.17S010-01
2 Warranty
■Warranty period One year after delivery (However, the camera had malfunction with camera uses correctly) In below case for a fee even within warranty period.
・The malfunction caused by incorrect usage, incorrect modify or repair.
・The malfunction caused by external shock including the camera dropping after delivery the camera.
・The malfunction caused by fire, earthquake, flood disaster, thunderbolt struck, other natural disaster or
wrong voltage.
■Warranty coverage Exchange or repair the malfunction camera if the malfunction is occurred by our responsibility.
“Warranty” mean is warranty for the delivered camera itself. Please accept the induction damage by the
camera malfunction is not included.

Precautions
(*1) When selecting 8bits output, the priority mode (Image quality / Frame rate) can be selectable.
When selecting “Image quality”, the maximum frame rate is reduced, but the low noise image is acquiring.
When selecting “Frame rate”, the camera can be operated with the fastest frame rate of this camera, but noise
level is greater than “Image quality” selected image.
Please test and select suitable priority mode for the application.
(*2) The sensitivity is measuring the luminance when white level achieved 100 % in below conditions.
Camera Setting Environment
Parameter Setting Parameter Setting
Gain Up 0 dB Light Source Light Box (White)
AGC Off Color temperature 5,100K
White Balance Optimum Lens
Electrical Shutter 1/30 seconds F on Lens F5.6
Black Level Optimum Target Luminance IM-600 (Topcon)
Gamma Factory Setting
(*3) The frame rate does not increase by the binning function.
(*4) The camera operates as USB3.0 standard even the camera connecting to a USB 2.0 port. Please careful
about the power consumption of the camera when the camera connecting to USB2.0 port.
The guideline to perform the full frame rate with full resolution of camera
The data transfer speed on the USB bus is depending on the performance of USB host controller.
The data transfer speed on the USB bus is very important to obtain full frame rate with full resolution. (527.1 fps @
0.4M, 238 fps @ 1.6M)
Renesas / Fresco Logic host controller improved the data transfer speed drastically in the second generation.
However, the transferring speed of Intel chipset is 10 to 20% faster than these host controllers.
When using USB3.0 interface PCI Express board, please insert it to the PCI Express Gen2.0 (5.0[GT/s]) slot. If
non-PCI Express Gen2.0 (5.0[GT/s]) is used, data transfer speed could decrease by about 50%.
If the frame rate is slow due to the performance of USB host controller, the frame rate of camera should adjust
based on the performance of USB host controller. This may resolve to increase the frame rate.
PC resources may have consumed during the image processing (color interpolation, image display, etc.) with huge
image data from camera.

Environmental Humidity: 0 to 85 %RH (No condensation)
(*1) Please insure the camera is installed with the appropriate heat dissipation. If camera has a mounted lens and a tripod
with an aluminum plate, this could decrease the camera housing temperature for heat dissipation. When the internal
temperature sensor on the camera shows less than 64 deg. C, the camera housing temperature (top plate) will be less
than 54 deg. C.
Taking these steps will maintain the heat rating of the electronic components of the camera.
