Make sure to shield the cables if unavoidable.
●The control cable of the device and the power cable of the industrial light source must
be wired separately to avoid bundled wiring.
●The power cable, data cable, signal cable, etc. of the device must be wired separately.
Make sure to ground them if the wiring groove is used to separate the wiring and the
wiring groove is metal.
●During the wiring process, evaluate the wiring space reasonably, and do not pull the
cables hard, so as not to damage the electrical performance of the cables.
●If the device is powered on and off frequently, it is necessary to strengthen the voltage

GigE Area Scan Camera User Manual
vi
isolation, and consider adding a DC/DC isolation power supply module between the
device and the adapter.
●Use the power adapter to supply power to the device separately. If centralized power
supply is necessary, make sure to use a DC filter to filter the power supply of the device
separately before use.
●The unused cables of the device must be insulated.
●When installing the device, if you cannot ensure that the device itself and all equipment
connected to the device are well grounded, you should isolate the device with an
insulating bracket.
●To avoid the accumulation of static electricity, ensure that other equipment (such as
machines, internal components, etc.) and metal brackets on site are properly grounded.
●Make sure that the connector metal barrier of the device is well connected to the PC and
other chassis, and if necessary, copper foil should be used to enhance the grounding
effect.
●During the installation and use of the device, high voltage leakage must be avoided.
●Use a figure-eight bundle method if the device cable is too long.
●When connecting the device and metal accessories, they must be connected firmly to
maintain good conductivity.
●Use a shielded network cable to connect to the device. If you use a self-made network
cable, make sure that the shielding shell at the aviation head is well connected to the
aluminum foil or metal braid of the shielding cable.
