2 Safety instructions
Read carefully these safety instructions before installing and using the product. The producer is not
responsible for damages and injury, which can occur due to false handling of the product and ignoring the
safety instructions. All warranty will be spoiled in this case.
Intended use
IDS industrial cameras are to be used to capture images for visualization and image processing tasks. They
are designed for use in industrial environments. Please comply with the requirements for the proper use of this
product. Failure to do so will render the warranty void.
· The product is not authorized for use in security relevant applications. If it used in security relevant
applications, the customer is responsible for the necessary approvals.
· If the product is modified or changed, all approval becomes invalid. In this case, the customer is responsible
for ensuring product conformity.
· The warranty expires if the product is improperly disassembled, reworked or repaired by the customer or a
third party and IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH assumes no liability for defects. If you need
service, please contact the support team.
· The product is not a toy. Operate and store out of the reach of children.
Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Board-level cameras are especially sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Make sure to avoid mechanical or
electrical damage of the printed circuit board or its connections. Wear ESD-protective clothing and observe
the rules for handling ESD-sensitive components.
· Do not touch the printed circuit board while it is powered.
· Always hold the board by the edges to avoid the risk of electrostatic discharge damage.
· For optimum ESD behavior, a clearance of 4 mm from non-shielded housings must be maintained all the
way around. For shielded housings, a smaller clearance is possible.
· Attach the board to a conductive surface using the fixing screws. If this is not possible, ensure an insulating
connection.
· Use connecting cable with a low-resistance shield on both sides.
Installation, operation and maintenance
The product must be connected, taken into operation and maintained only by appropriately qualified
personnel. The error-free and safe operation of this product can only be ensured if it is properly transported,
stored, set up and assembled, and operated and maintained with due care. The installation, inspection,
maintenance, extension, and repair may only be done by authorized personnel.
· Observe the specifications in the documentation when installing the product.
· Do not subject the product to direct sunlight, moisture or shock. Note in particular the permitted IP code of
the product.
· Only operate the product under ambient conditions for which the respective product is approved. The use
under other ambient conditions may result in damage.
· To avoid any damage to the connectors, only mount or remove the product with the cables disconnected.
· Lay cables in such way that no one is endangered.
· Before starting up, check if the electrical wiring corresponds to the specifications in the documentation.
Faulty wiring (overvoltage, undervoltage) can result in a damage in the electronics.
Transport
· Only use ESD packaging for storage and transport of ESD-sensitive components.
· Keep packing materials like films away from children. Abuse may result in suffocation.

Operation and power supply
The camera power supply must meet the requirements for SELV (safety extra low voltage)/LPS (limited power
source) or ES1/PS2.
WARNING! Non-approved power supplies for camera operation may cause painful or dangerous electric
shock. Serious injury or death may occur. Use a power supply that meet the requirements for SELV (safety
extra low voltage)/LPS (limited power source) or ES1/PS2.
· In order to ensure electrical safety, we recommend using a shielded connection cable or grounding the
camera housing so that the camera housing is connected to ground via the appropriate installation.
Avis pour le Canada
Fonctionnement et alimentation électrique
L'alimentation électrique de la caméra doit être conforme aux exigences de sécurité SELV (très basse
tension de sécurité)/LPS (source à puissance limitée) ou ES1/PS2.
AVERTISSEMENT ! Avec un bloc d'alimentation non prévu pour les caméras, il existe des risques de
décharges électriques douloureuses ou dangereuses. Celles-ci peuvent provoquer des blessures graves,
voire mortelles. Utilisez un bloc d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de sécurité SELV (très basse
tension de sécurité)/LPS (source à puissance limitée) ou ES1/PS2.
· Pour garantir la sécurité électrique, nous recommandons l'utilisation d'un câble de connexion blindé ou la
mise à la terre du boîtier de la caméra, afin que ce dernier soit relié correctement à la masse.
CAUTION! As the camera housing may get hot depending on the operating conditions there may be risk of
burns. Provide sufficient heat dissipation so that the housing temperature does not exceed 55 °C (131 °F).
NOTICE! Cameras with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) can be supplied with voltage both from an external source
and via PoE. The camera should not be supplied through both voltage sources at once as this can irreparably
damage the camera.
Models with time-of-flight sensor
CAUTION! Class 1 laser. The accessible laser radiation is harmless under reasonably predictable conditions.
Observe the legal regulations for laser protection.
Models with integrated lightning
CAUTION! Optical radiation from visible LED light. Do not look into beam!
Correct disposal
Dispose the camera and accessories properly and separately from other types of waste to encourage
recycling of reusable materials and to protect the environment.
According to the EC Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE) we are obliged to take back this product, distributed by us
after August 13, 2005, free of charge at the end of its useful life and to ensure it correct disposal. As this
product is exclusively for commercial use (B2B), it must not be handed over to a public disposal facility. The
product can be disposed of by specifying the date of purchase and the serial number at the following address:

Ambient temperature during storage
-20 °C .... +70 °C
-4 °F … +158 °F
Relative humidity*
20 % … < 100 %, non-condensing
Non-condensing means that the relative air humidity must be
below 100 %. Otherwise, moisture will form on the device
surface.
Vibration and shock resistance
Complies with DIN EN 60068-2-6 and DIN EN 60068-2-27
* Only if IP65 cables are used. Not used electrical connections must be closed with fixed covering caps.
3.3 Notes on ambient conditions
· Avoid high air humidity levels and rapid temperature changes when using IDS NXT vision app-based
sensors.
· Temperatures below +4 °C (+39 °F) combined with excessive relative air humidity levels can cause icing.
Provide sufficient heat dissipation so that the specified device temperature is not exceeded during operation.
In general, the following recommendations apply:
· For a passive heat dissipation, mount the IDS NXT vision app-based sensor on a thermally-conductive
surface like a metal plate or a heat sink.
· If necessary, provide an active cooling for example by means of a fan.
With increasing device temperatures, the image quality could be reduced due to thermal noise. It is
recommended to mount the IDS NXT vision app-based sensor to a heat-dissipating unit even if the device is
operated below the maximum specified temperature.

IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH recommends to adjust the power supply to the power requirement
of the camera to limit overheating in case of short circuit. To ensure electrical safety, the power supply must
meet the requirements for SELV (safety extra low voltage)/LPS (limited power source) or ES1/PS2.
Avis pour le Canada:
IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH recommande d'adapter l'alimentation électrique aux besoins de
la caméra afin de limiter la surchauffe en cas de court-circuit. Pour garantir la sécurité électrique,
l'alimentation doit être conforme aux exigences de sécurité SELV (très basse tension de sécurité)/LPS
(source à puissance limitée) ou ES1/PS2.
Information on the power consumption of individual camera models can be found in the model data sheet.
Please keep in mind that a voltage drop will occur when you use long cables for power supply to the device.
Choose the size of the cable in such a way that the supply voltage available at the input of the device is at least
12 V (monochrome version) or 15 V (color version).

The digital outputs are galvanically isolated using optocouplers to protect the device and the PC against
surges. Only DC voltages may be applied to the digital outputs.
The output of the optocoupler can be used as an open collector or open emitter output. This means that the
output signal can be connected to ground or to the supply voltage. The output signal is active if the collector-
emitter switch is closed.
