Operating or storage location
Do not shoot an extremely bright object (an illumination, the sun, etc.). Also,
avoid operating or storing the camera in the following locations, as these can be
a cause of a malfunction.
Extremely hot or cold places (Operating temperature: –30 °C to +50 °C [–22 °F
to 122 °F])
Close to heating equipment (e.g., near heaters)
Close to sources of strong magnetism
Close to sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation, such as radios or TV
transmitters
Locations subject to strong vibration or shock
Dusty locations
Locations under the influence of fluorescent light or reflection of a window
Under an unsteady light (the image will flicker.)
Operating temperature
Be sure to turn the power on from 0 °C to +50 °C (+32 °F to +122 °F).
When the power is on, the built-in heater enables the camera unit to operate
from –30 °C to +50 °C (–22 °F to +122 °F).
Ventilation
To prevent heat buildup, do not block air circulation around the camera.
Transportation
When transporting the camera, repack it as originally packed at the factory or in
materials of equal quality.
Cleaning
Use a blower to remove dust from the lens.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of the camera. Stubborn
stains can be removed using a soft cloth dampened with a small quantity of
detergent solution, then wipe dry.
Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners as they may
damage the surface finishes.
To install the camera outdoors
Attach the dome casing securely to the unit casing.
Make sure you seal the locations listed below with sealant (e.g. silicon sealant) to
prevent moisture from getting inside the casing.
- Camera installation holes (4)
- Conduit holes (side/bottom)
Note on laser beams
Laser beams may damage a CCD. You are cautioned that the surface of a CCD should
not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an environment where a laser beam device is
used.
Regular parts replacement
Some of the parts that make up this product (electrolytic condenser, for
example) need replacing regularly depending on their life expectancies.
The lives of parts differ according to the environment or condition in which
this product is used and the length of time it is used, so we recommend
regular checks.
Consult the dealer from whom you bought it for details.
Phenomena Specific to CCD Image Sensors
The following phenomena that may appear in images are specific to CCD (Charge
Coupled Device) image sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions.
White flecks
Although the CCD image sensors are produced with high-precision technologies,
fine white flecks may be generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic
rays, etc.
This is related to the principle of CCD image sensors and is not a malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the following cases:
- when operating at a high environmental temperature
- when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)
- when using the slow shutter
Vertical smear
When an extremely bright object, such as a strong spotlight or flashlight, is
being shot, vertical tails may be produced on the screen, or the image may be
distorted.
Monitor screen
Bright object (e.g. strong spotlight,
strong reflected light, flashlight, the sun)
Vertical tails shown on the image
Aliasing
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may appear jagged or flicker.
