And source with 12 VDC (depending on models) according to the IEC60950-1 and Limited
Power Source standard.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.
This installation should be made by a qualified service person and should conform to all the
local codes.
Please install blackouts equipment into the power supply circuit for convenient supply
interruption.
Please make sure that the ceiling can support more than 50(N) Newton gravities if the camera is
fixed to the ceiling.
If the product does not work properly, please contact your dealer or the nearest service center.
Never attempt to disassemble the camera yourself. (We shall not assume any responsibility for

Cautions:
Make sure the power supply voltage is correct before using the camera.
Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.
Do not touch sensor modules with fingers. If cleaning is necessary, use a clean cloth with a bit
of ethanol and wipe it gently. If the camera will not be used for an extended period of time, put
on the lens cap to protect the sensor from dirt.
Do not aim the camera lens at the strong light such as sun or incandescent lamp. The strong
light can cause fatal damage to the camera.
The sensor may be burned out by a laser beam, so when any laser equipment is being used,
make sure that the surface of the sensor not be exposed to the laser beam.
Do not place the camera in extremely hot, cold temperatures (the operating temperature should
be between -0°C to 50°C), dusty or damp environment, and do not expose it to high
electromagnetic radiation.
To avoid heat accumulation, ensure there is good ventilation to the device.
Keep the camera away from water and any liquids.
While shipping, pack the camera in its original, or equivalent, packing materials. Or packing
the same texture.
Improper use or replacement of the battery may result in hazard of explosion. Please use the
manufacturer recommended battery type.

Chapter 1Overview
1.1 Introduction
The Machine Vision Camera is an image capturing device capable of real-time transmission of
uncompressed image through a gigabit Ethernet interface. Remote image capturing and camera
control, for example, the operating mode and the image parameters adjustment, are supported by
client software.
1.2 Main Features
The gigabit Ethernet interface provides the bandwidth of 1 Gbps and reaches the maximum
transmission distance of 100 meters.
128 MB onboard memory stores images for burst transmission and retransmission.
Supports AEC (automatic exposure control), LUT, Gamma Correction, etc..
Use hardware external trigger or software trigger to synchronize several cameras or cameras
with external devices.
Supports image capturing with different exposure modes.
The color camera adopts the color interpolation algorithm to reproduce colors faithfully. It
also supports automatic white balance (AWB).
Compatible with GigE Vision Protocol (V1.2) and third-party software.
