2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
HSC-13Mx may result in permanent damage to the camera and severe
injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the industrial camera. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the industrial camera, or any other electrical component is
handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: Before handling the board, touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the industrial camera, place it on
an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the industrial
camera.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the industrial camera is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 2.1.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the industrial camera does
not fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components listed in Section 2.3 are present.
