Declarations
Notice for Europe
This product is in conformity with the Council Directive 2004/108/EC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with EN55022/CISPR22 and EN55024/CISPR24. To meet EC requirements,
shielded cables must be used to connect a peripheral to the card. This product has been tested in a typical class B compliant host
system. It is assumed that this product will also achieve compliance in any class B compliant unit.
Notice for USA
Compliance Information Statement (Declaration of Conformity Procedure) DoC FCC Part 15
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation or when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This product is in conformity with the European Union RoHS 2011/65/EU Directive, that stands for "the restriction of
the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment".
According the European directive 2012/19/EU, the product must be disposed of separately from normal household
waste. It must be recycled according to the local regulations.
Precautions for Use of Board Products
Electrostatic Sensitive Device
Boards may be damaged by electrostatic discharges. Follow the procedure hereby described and apply any general procedure
aimed at reducing the risk associated with electrostatic discharge. Damage caused by improper handling is not covered by the
manufacturer's warranty.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Euresys boards are compliant with electromagnetic compatibility regulatory requirements. To ensure this compliance, the card
bracket must be secured with the relevant screw in accordance with the procedure described herein.
Risk of Electrical Shock
Do not operate the computer with any enclosure cover removed. During the hardware installation, ensure the AC power cord is
unplugged before touching any internal part of the computer.
Heating Device
It is normal for a board to dissipate some heat during operation. All enclosure covers, including blank brackets, must be fitted
correctly to ensure that the fan cools the computer adequately.
Hot Plugging Forbidden
Uncontrolled plugging and unplugging of equipment may damage a board. Always switch off the computer and any relevant
system device when connecting or disconnecting a cable at the frame grabber or auxiliary board bracket. Failure to do so may
damage the card and will void the warranty.

Poor Grounding Protection
The computer and the camera can be located in distant areas with individual ground connections. Poor ground interconnection,
ground loop or ground fault may induce unwanted voltage between equipment, causing excessive current in the interconnecting
cables. This faulty situation can damage the frame grabber or the camera electrical interface.
The user must follow proper equipment grounding practices at all ends of the interconnecting cables. In addition, the use of
cable assemblies with overall shield solidly connected to the conductive shell of all connectors is recommended. Besides the
beneficial effect of cable shielding on electromagnetic compatibility, the shield connection can increase the protection level
against grounding problems by temporarily absorbing unwanted fault current.
Picolo HD Card Installation
One or more Picolo HD cards can be physically inserted into your computer. Before operation, check if your computer has the
adequate PCI Express slot:
• Picolo HD One, Picolo HD 3G, and Picolo HD H.264 requires a standard height single-slot with a 1-lane PCIe Gen 1 connector
(or better).
• Picolo HD 3G DVI is a low profile card that can optionally be fitted with a bypass module and with standard- or low-profile
brackets. When fitted with the bypass module, it requires 2 adjacent slots. The first slot must be equipped with a 1-lane PCIe
Gen 2 connector (or better).
Recommended Installation Procedure
• Switch off the computer and all connected peripherals (monitor, printer...).
• Discharge any static electricity that could be accumulated by your body. You can achieve this by touching an unpainted metal
part of the enclosure of your computer with a bare hand. Make sure that the computer is linked to the AC power outlet with
proper earth connection.
• Disconnect all cables from your computer, including AC power.
• Open the computer enclosure, according to the manufacturer instructions, to gain access to the PCI Express slots. Locate an
available PCI slot —Conventional PCI or PCI Express, according to your board.
• Remove the blank bracket associated with this location. To achieve this, remove the securing screw and keep it aside for later
use in the procedure. Keep the blank bracket in a known place for possible re-use.
• Unwrap the Picolo HD card packing, take the board and carefully hold it. Avoid any contact of the board with unnecessary
items, including your clothes.
• For Picolo HD 3G DVI only: install the required brackets and, if required, plug the bypass module on the main board taking
care of the connectors alignment.
• Gently insert the card in the selected PCIe slot, taking care to push it down fully into the slot. If you experience some resistance,
remove the board and repeat the operation. You should attempt to make a perfect board-to-slot mechanical alignment for
best results. Ensure that the lower part of the bracket is inserted into the corresponding enclosure fastening.
• Secure the board with the saved screw.
• If required, install the watchdog cable.
• Close the computer enclosure according to the manufacturer instructions.
• Establish the camera connection, only one video source using any one of the interface is allowed
Board Cooling
• To guarantee proper operation and longer board reliability, ensure an adequate cooling of the board. The cooling is improved
by a higher air flow circulating around the board. This air flow is increased, for example, by using computer case fans.
• In addition, avoid placing a Picolo HD card next to other heat dissipating boards.
MultiCam for Picolo HD Driver Installation
Note: Picolo HD 3G DVI and Picolo HD One since S/N PHO01436 require Version 3.0 or higher of the driver.
The MultiCam for Picolo HD driver is distributed on the Euresys website: www.euresys.com. The first time access requires a profile
creation to obtain a user ID and a password.
Once the package is downloaded, run the executable to launch the installer tool. If you have an existing MultiCam for Picolo HD
driver already installed, you will be prompted to uninstall it before being able to continue. Otherwise, the tool prompts you for the
selection of the destination folder.
