PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera or
camera control unit.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or
covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Ask a qualified service person for servicing.
2. Handle the camera and the camera control unit
with care.
Do not abuse the camera and the camera control
unit. Avoid striking, shaking, etc. The camera could
be damaged by improper handling or storage.
3. Do not expose the camera or camera control unit
to rain or moisture, or try to operate it in wet
areas.
Turn the power off immediately and ask a qualified
service person for servicing. Moisture can damage
the camera and the camera control unit, and also
create the danger of electric shock.
4. Do not drop anything inside the camera or
camera control unit.
Dropping a metal part for example inside the camera and camera control unit could permanently
damage the unit.
5. Do not crush or pinch the camera cable.
Avoid tight bends in the camera cable.
6. Never face the camera toward the sun.
Do not aim the camera at bright objects. Whether
the camera is in use or not, never aim it at the sun
or other extremely bright objects. Otherwise, blooming or smear may be caused.
7. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when
cleaning the camera or the camera control unit
body.
Use a dry cloth to clean the camera or the camera
control unit when dirty.
In case the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild detergent and wipe gently.
8. Clean the faceplate with care.
Do not clean the faceplate with strong or abrasive
detergents. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped applicator and ethanol.
9. Put the lens cap on the camera after using the
camera.
After using the camera, turn the power of the camera control unit off, and put the lens cap on the
camera head.
10. Do not connect units other than the camera head
to the GP-US522CU camera control unit.
Other connections may result in improper operation.
11. Do not operate the camera and the camera
control unit beyond the specified temperature,
humidity, or power source ratings.
Use the camera and the camera control unit under
conditions where temperature is between 0°C +45°C (32°F - 113°F), and humidity is below 90%.
The input power resource is 12 V DC.
12. Ask a qualified service person for installation.
All necessary procedures with regard to installation
of this product should be made by a qualified service person or system installer.
Cautions:
1. Connecting or disconnecting the camera
cable to/from the camera control unit or
camera head must be done after turning off
the power of the camera control unit.
2. Use the GP-CA522/4 (4 m/13 ft) camera
cable only for connection between the camera head and camera control unit. Do not
extend the cable.
