Usage Precautions
Notes on Cable Configurations
The presence of lighting equipment and television receivers nearby may result in video noise. In such
cases, change the cable configurations or placement.
Notes on LAN Cable Connection
Secure the locking screws on the connector manually, and do not use
a driver. Do not secure the screws too tightly. Doing so may wear
down the screw threads on the camera. (Tightening torque: 0.147 Nm
or less)
Caution: Secure manually. Do not secure too tightly.
Notes on Attaching the Lens
How to Clean a Sensor
Avoiding Dust Particles
When attaching the lens to the camera, stray dust and other particles may adhere to the sensor
surface and rear surface of the lens. Be careful of the following when attaching the lens.
lWork in a clean environment.
lDo not remove the caps from the camera and lens until immediately before you attach the lens.
lTo prevent dust from adhering to surfaces, point the camera and lens downward and do not
allow the lens surface to come into contact with your hands or other objects.
lAlways use a blower brush to remove any dust that adheres.
lNever use your hands or cloth, blow with your mouth, or use other methods to remove dust.

Phenomena Specific to CMOS Image Sensors
The following phenomena are known to occur on cameras equipped with CMOS image sensors.
These do not indicate malfunctions.
lAliasing: When shooting straight lines, stripes, and similar patterns, vertical aliasing (zigzag
distortion) may appear on the monitor.
lBlooming: When strong light enters the camera, some pixels on the CMOS image sensor may
receive much more light than they are designed to hold, causing the accumulated signal charge
to overflow into surrounding pixels. This “blooming” phenomenon can be seen in the image but
does not affect the operation of the camera.
lFixed pattern noise: When shooting dark objects in high-temperature conditions, fixed pattern
noise may occur throughout the entire video monitor screen.
lDefective pixels: Defective pixels (white and black pixels) of the CMOS image sensor are
minimized at the factory according to shipping standards. However, as this phenomenon can be
affected by the ambient temperature, camera settings (e.g., high sensitivity and long exposure),
and other factors, be sure to operate within the camera’s specified operating environment.
Notes on Exportation
When exporting this product, please follow the export regulations of your country or region.

Features
This camera is an industrial progressive scan camera equipped with a 1/1.2-inch global shutter CMOS
image sensor with 2.35 effective megapixels (1936 × 1216). The unit is compact and lightweight in
design and is equipped with GigE Vision Ver. 1.1 interface. The monochrome camera produces
monochrome output while the color camera produces Bayer output.
Compact and Lightweight
The unit’s compact size (approx. 29mm × 29mm × 41.5mm, excluding lens mount) and lightweight (46
g) design allows for easy assembly and installation.
Gigabit Ethernet interface supporting GigE Vision Ver. 1.1
lHigh-speed transfer at up to 1 Gbps of uncompressed data, the ideal format for image
processing.
lConnection of multiple cameras and computers supported through use of a switching hub, etc.
lMaximum cable length of 100 m.
lSupport for IEEE802.af-compliant PoE (Power over Ethernet) allowing you to supply power to
the camera via the LAN cable.
Note: Interface card or switching hub must support PoE. Alternatively, power can be supplied via
the 6-pin connector using an optional +12 to +24V DC power supply.
Output Formats
You can choose from 8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit* output for both monochrome and Bayer.
Note: *As the color camera cannot perform white balance when using 12-bit output, perform white
balance on the application.
High Frame Rate
This camera is capable of high frame rates (see below table) for full 5.1-megapixel output. Even faster
frame rates can be achieved when binning is utilized (Monochrome models only) or when a smaller
ROI (region of interest) is specified.
Model Max Frame Rate (8-bit)
GO-2400M-PGE, GO-2400C-PGE 48.8 fps
GO-2401M-PGE, GO-2401C-PGE 41.0 fps

ALC (Automatic Level Control) Function
Combine the automatic gain control and automatic exposure control functions to allow handling of
changes in various brightnesses.
Variety of Pre-Process Functions
lLUT (lookup table): For programmable control over gamma and contrast.
lGamma correction: Gamma can be set to 0.45, 0.60, or 1.0 (off).
lShading correction (flat field and color shading): Non-uniformity (i.e., shading) in the amount of
light generated by the lens and lighting equipment can be corrected.
lBayer white balance (Color models only): White balance can be automatically adjusted
continuously. It can also be adjusted manually using R, and B gain.
