Phase 3A Phase 3
2. Soldering
Since the melting point of lead-free solder used for the products conforming to RoHS directive is 20 to 45 degrees Celsius higher
than that of conventional solder with lead (Sn-Pb eutectic solder), a high temperature needs to be set to a soldering iron. Taking
allowable temperature limit of the parts and stable work into consideration, use a soldering iron with excellent thermal recovery
characteristics.
· Recommended solder composition is "Sn/3.0Ag/0.5Cu" or equivalent.
· Separate the soldering iron exclusively for RoHS products and the soldering iron for conventional use.
· Set the temperature of the soldering bit to 350 to 370 degrees Celsius.
The temperature may need to be adjusted according to the size of the copper foil land on the print-circuit board and the tip width
of the soldering bit.
· Finish by a lead-free solder looks dull or whitish compared to conventional solder with lead.
· If the customer mixed the lead-solder with the main body wiring or the circuit board, it becomes guarantee off the subject.
Ikegami doesn't guarantee to do the repair work. Because the solder polluted with lead cannot be removed.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Regarding the Product
Be sure to hold the plug and pull when you disconnect the cable.
Failure to do so may cause a re or electric shock due to a broken cable.
Avoid moving the equipment suddenly from an extremely cold place to a warm place.
Condensation may occur in the CMOS image sensor or other parts.
Do not drop or insert a metal object such as a pin or a foreign object into the equipment.
Do not spread or spill water or other liquid on the equipment.
Do not subject the equipment to a strong shock or vibration.
Doing so may cause damage or malfunction of the equipment.
Since semiconductor pixels are adapted in CMOS image sensor, image burn-in will not occur in
normal operation. When you shoot subjects with an excessive amount of light (e.g. sun, laser beam,
etc.) for a long time, pay attention to temperature rise inside the CMOS sensor.
Before connecting a VTR or accessories, make sure that the camera and equipment to be connected
are powered off. Also, be sure to use dedicated cables.
Laser beams may damage the CMOS image sensors. If you shoot a scene that includes a laser
beam, be careful not to let a laser beam become directed into the lens of the camera.
