KEEEP SHIPPING MATERIALL. Poor packaging g of this prodduct can cause damage dduring shippiing. VERIFY ALL EXT XTERNAL CON NNECTIONS. Verify all external connectiions in termss of voltage llevels, power quirements, voltage polaarity, and siggnal integrityy prior to pow wering req thiis device. CLEANING. ning agents..
Cleaning th he sensor DO O NOT CON NTACT CLEAN SENSSOR UNLEESS AB BSOLUTELLY NECESSARY Identiffying Debriss Debris on the image sensor or optical components w will appear as a darkened area or smudge on the image that doees not move as the t camera is moved. m Do not confuse this wiith a pixel defeect which will apppear as a distinct point. Locatin ng Debris Before attempting to clean the imagee sensor, it is im mportant to firsst determine that the problem m is due to debris on n the sensor wiindow.

IR cu ut filte er: sp pectrral tra ansm missio on Alll Prosilica GSS color modeels are equipped with an infrared blocck filter (IR R filter). Thiss filter is empployed to stoop infrared w wavelength pphotons fro om passing to o the imagin g device. If the filter is rremoved, images will be dominated by b red and caannot be prooperly color bbalanced. Mo onochrome Prosilica P GS ccameras do nnot employ aan IR filter.

Camera Out 1 and Camera Out 2 These signals (GPOut) only function as outputs and can be configured as follows: Exposing Corresponds to when camera is integrating light. Trigger Ready Indicates when the camera will accept a trigger signal. Trigger Input A relay of the trigger input signal used to “daisy chain” the trigger signal for multiple cameras. Readout Valid when camera is reading out data. Imaging Valid when camera is exposing or reading out.
