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 is extreme, 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.

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.

(*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.

7.2 Trigger Mode

This trigger consists of Frame Start, Exposure Start and Exposure End.

1) Frame Start
This function has the capability to acquire an image from exposure through the trigger.
The Frame Start function can be enabled when “Frame Start” is selected on Trigger Selector and the Trigger
mode is set to “On”.

This function supports “Edge Preset” trigger and “Pulse Width” trigger with trigger signal. This function can control
exposure through Exposure Mode.

2) Exposure Start, Exposure End
This function has the capability to acquire an image from Exposure Start to Exposure End. Exposure Start trigger
is pair of Exposure End.
Exposure Start and Exposure End are selectable on Trigger Selector. Exposure Start function and Exposure End
function can be enable through each Trigger Mode On.
This function is only enabled when Exposure Mode sets Trigger Controlled. If Exposure Mode did not set Triger
Controlled, camera exposure and image acquisition do not work.

(*) Please do not apply the Trigger through maximum frame rate on Trigger Mode. When Trigger applies within sensor

Readout as exposure end, camera interrupted Readout.

When operating in this mode, the exposure synchronizes the trigger signal.
The exposure time can be controlled by the pulse width of Frame Start trigger.
When the polarity on the Line Inverter is positive (false), the exposure can be controlled at a period of High level
of input trigger signal.
When the polarity on the Line Inverter is negative (true), the exposure can be controlled at a period of Low level
of input trigger signal.

To operate the camera in this mode, the following settings have to be set.

This function sets the input on Line Mode, then assigns Line as the input.
The following functions can be assigned as input.

When select “input” assign port at the Trigger Source, the input signal can be assigned as Trigger.

The input signal can be switched to Active-Low (Line Inverter: true) or Active-High (Line Inverter: false).

(*) When the Line polarity changing by Line Inverter, the active polarity of input trigger signal is changed.

This function monitors the signal status on the input Line.
The High level (Line Status: true) or Low level (Line Status false) status can be seen through the software.
