1. Scope of Application
This is to describe VCC-G20X30T1, XGA B/W CCD camera. All specifications contained herein are
subject to change without prior notice. Reproduction in whole or in part is prohibited.
2. Handling Precautions
The camera must not be used for any nuclear equipments or aerospace equipments with which
mechanical failure or malfunction could result in serious bodily injury or loss of human life. Our
warranty does not apply to damages or defects caused by irregular and/or abnormal use of the
product.
Please observe all warnings and cautions stated below.
Our warranty does not apply to damages or malfunctions caused by neglecting these precautions.
zDo not use or store the camera in the following extreme conditions:
¾Extremely dusty or humid places.
¾Extremely hot or cold places (operating temperature –5℃ to +45℃)
¾Close to generators of powerful electromagnetic radiation such as radio or TV transmitters.
¾Places subject to fluorescent light reflections.
¾Places subject to unstable (flickering, etc.) lighting conditions.
¾Places subject to strong vibration.
zRemove dust or dirt on the surface of the lens with a blower.
zDo not apply excessive force or static electricity that could damage the camera.
zDo not shoot direct images that are extremely bright (e.g., light source, sun, etc.), and when
camera is not in use, put the lens cap on.
zFollow the instructions in Chapter 6, “External connector pin assignment” for connecting the
camera. Improper connection may cause damages not only to the camera but also to the
connected devices.
zConfirm the mutual ground potential carefully and then connect the camera to monitors or
computers. AC leaks from the connected devices may cause damages or destroy the camera.
zDo not apply excessive voltage. (Use only the specified voltage.) Unstable or improper power
supply voltage may cause damages or malfunction of the camera.
zMake sure that the camera and peripheral equipments are properly connected before turning the
camera on. Especially in INT/EXT sync signal settings, improper connection may cause
damages to the camera and the connected devices.
zAt least 5 seconds shall be waited to reboot the camera.
In case of abnormal operation, contact the distributor from whom you purchased the product.
