Safety instructions Safety instructions This chapter describes safety instructions/cautions valid for all AVT camera families and special safety instructions/cautions depending on the camera family/ model used. General safety instructions Note • • • Note • • There are no switches or parts inside the camera that require adjustment. The guarantee becomes void upon opening the camera casing.
Safety instructions Sensor safety instructions Caution Sensor may be damaged Light intensity or exposure time exceeding the saturation of the sensor may damage the sensor irreparably. This may occur in following situations: • • Laser light hitting the sensor directly Bright light sources (e.g.
Safety instructions FireWire safety instructions FireWire hot-plug and screw-lock precautions Caution Hot-plug precautions • Although FireWire devices can theoretically be hotplugged without powering down equipment, we strongly recommend turning the computer power off, before connecting a digital camera to it via a FireWire cable. • Static electricity or slight plug misalignment during insertion may short-circuit and damage components.
Safety instructions Changing filters safety instructions Caution • Mount/dismount lenses and filters in a dust-free environment, and do not use compressed air (which can push dust into cameras and lenses). • Use only optical quality tissue/cloth if you must clean a lens or filter. Ask your dealer if you are not familiar with these procedures. Guppy: changing filters safety instructions Old CS-/C-Mounting New CS-/C-Mounting starting with serial no.
Safety instructions Pike/Oscar: changing filters safety instructions Note • Pike/Oscar models only: Changing filters is achieved by changing back focus rings with the appropriate filter already mounted. Please be advised that back focus adjustment will be necessary in order to match C-Mount distance of 17.526 mm. Ask your dealer for further information or assistance.
Safety instructions Cautions: Connecting a camera Caution ALL CAMERAS • • • • • Do not touch the shield of the camera cable connected to a computer and the ground terminal of the lines at the same time. If you are charged: before touching the shield of the camera cable, make sure to discharge first (by touching the ground terminal of the lines). Use only DC power supplies with insulated cases. These are identified by having only two power connectors.
Safety instructions Safety instructions for board level cameras Note Caution-ESD Read the Guppy Technical Manual or Stingray Technical Manual and this safety instructions before use. Abuse or misapplication of the camera may result in limited warranty or cancelation of warranty. Board level cameras: ESD warnings • • • • • • Only qualified personnel is allowed to install and operate the Board level cameras. Board level cameras are delivered without housing.
Safety instructions Caution Board level cameras: General Warnings • • • • • • • Caution Be sure that all power to your board level cameras is switched off, before mounting the sensor board or making connections to the camera. Do not connect or disconnect any cables during an electrical storm. Do not use your board level cameras during an electrical storm.
AVT camera cleaning instructions AVT camera cleaning instructions This section describes safety instructions/cautions valid for all AVT camera families in case of cleaning lenses, optical filters/protection glass or sensors. Note • • Please read these instructions before you contact your AVT camera dealer for assistance. Ask your AVT camera dealer if you are not familiar with the procedures described below.
AVT camera cleaning instructions Caution-ESD ESD warnings Image sensors are easily damaged by static discharge (ESD). • • Please use anti-static gloves, clothes and materials. Also use conductive shoes. Install a conductive mat on the floor and/or working table to prevent the generation of static electricity.
AVT camera cleaning instructions Is it an impurity? – Identifying impurities If you observe any image artefacts in your video preview of your AVT camera you may have impurities either on the lens, filter/protection glass or, theoretically on the sensor protection glass, although every AVT camera gets cleaned prior to sealing and shipment.
AVT camera cleaning instructions Please carefully remove t he filter/protection glass (for certain camera models, indicated below, requiring a special tool which can be ordered under the following number: E9020001) and clean it on both sides using the techniques explained below. Camera type Tool to be used Description Oscar 1.3 mm hex key (Allen key) AVT order number K 9020411 Loosen both countersunk screws. Remove chromatic flange: Take care, C-Mount adjustment spacers may fall out.
AVT camera cleaning instructions Note • • Taking out the filter requires special care. The customer is fully responsible for all actions of changing/removing filter by himself. Ask your dealer to help you if you are not confident with the procedure. Figure 3: Removing IR cut filter/protection glass using special tool (E9020001) 3. If the impurity is neither on the lens nor the IR cut filter/protection glass, it is probably on the sensor.
AVT camera cleaning instructions Figure 4: Medical-grade sterile optical cotton The cotton or lens tissue should be moist, but not dripping. Please hold the camera away from your body to avoid falling particles like flakes from skin on the sensor. Hold the camera sensor diagonally upwards. 3. Wipe the glass surface with a spiral motion from the centre to the rim. Normally several spiral wipes are recommended.
AVT camera cleaning instructions Figure 6: Don’t use compressed air 6. If despite warnings you want to clean your camera with compressed air: Caution • • 7. Use an air blower/compressed air only if you are familiar with cleaning a camera with this instrument. Compressed air may push dust into cameras and lenses.

AVT cameras: installing hardware Caution Hot-plug precautions • Although FireWire devices can theoretically be hotplugged without powering down equipment, we strongly recommend turning the computer power off, before connecting a digital camera to it via a FireWire cable. • Static electricity or slight plug misalignment during insertion may short-circuit and damage components. • The physical ports may be damaged by excessive ESD (electrostatic discharge), when connected under powered conditions.
Camera interfaces Camera interfaces Each AVT camera has the following interfaces: • The 12-pin camera I/O connector (Guppy: 8-pin) provides different control inputs and output lines. • One or two IEEE 1394a or 1394b connectors with screw lock mechanism provide access to the IEEE 1394 bus and thus makes it possible to control the camera and output frames. – Oscar, Marlin and Guppy provide one 1394a connector. – Pike and Stingray provide 2x 1394b connectors. – Guppy PRO provides one 1394b connector.
