Safety Precautions
Product Precautions
Handle the camera with care. Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking or shaking it. Improper handling
or storage could damage the camera.
Do not pull or damage the camera cable.
During camera use, do not wrap he unit in any material. This will cause the internal temperature of the
unit to increase.
Do not expose the camera to moisture, or do not try to operate it in wet areas.
Do not operate the camera beyond its temperature, humidity and power source ratings.
While the camera is not being used, keep the lens or lens cap on the camera to prevent dust or
contamination from getting in the CCD or filter area and scratching or damaging this area.
Do not keep the camera under the following conditions:
In wet, moist, and high humidity areas
Use a soft cloth to clean the camera. Use pressured air spray to clean the surface of the glass. DO not
scratch the surface of the glass.
Under hot direct sunlight
In high temperature areas
Near an object that releases a strong magnetic or electric field
Areas with strong vibrations

2. 12 Pin Connector
CAUTIONARY NOTE:
a. When the USB signals in the 12 pin connector are in use
1) Please make sure that the cable which connects to the 12 pin connector is an authorized USB2.0
cable. Do not use a cable that is not certified as a standard USB 2.0 cable.
2) Please DO NOT use the USB signal in the 12 pin connector and the USB connector at the same
time. Therefore, DO NOT connect a Mini USB cable to the Mini USB Connector, unless the USB
connection of the 12 pin is disabled (Pin 3 and 4).
CAUTIONARY NOTE:
b. When NOT using the USB signals in the 12pin connector
1) Make sure that the cable which connects to the 12 pin connector does not have a USB signal
connection at pin no. 3 and 4.
With the software, please set up pins for
input (IO0 / IO1) and output (IO2 / IO3).
Depending on the jack type, IO1 and IO2 are
connected to the Input / Output power
connector.
3. Input / Output Connector (2.5 mm Pin Jack)
Please set up for the IO1 and IO2, which signal input and output through this connection with the
software.
4. LED
Red light is on then put the lights out shortly after power on the camera. The LED color changes from
red, to orange, then green. The green light is indicates that the camera is working properly.

II. Cautions
A. Trigger Input Signal Cycle Time
Set the trigger signal input cycle time to be more than the sum of the exposure time and the video
output, otherwise the following phenomenon may occur:
- Double images
- Excess or abnormal noise
- No video image.
B. Status of the Input Signal Pins at Power-up
All input pins must be set at “low” status when the power is turned on. Otherwise the camera may not
operate properly.
