Instructions before use
Only operate this product within the recommended environmental temperature
range.
Use only the specified power source and voltage rating.
Do not drop this product. Avoid exposure to strong impact and vibrations.
Install the camera unit in a well-ventilated environment, in order to prevent the
camera from overheating.
If the camera must be installed in an environment containing dust or other
particles, take required measures to protect the camera unit from dust adhesion.
Do not unplug the cable while power is being supplied to the camera unit. To
prevent product damage, always shut down the power supply before unplugging
the power cable.
When the surface of the camera window becomes dirty due to dust or grime,
black smudges appear in the displayed image. Use an air blower to remove the
dust particles. Dip a cotton swab into ethanol alcohol and clean the camera
window. Be careful not to scratch the glass.
Use of non-infrared lighting such as a daylight fluorescent lamp is recommended.
If halogen lighting is employed, always install an infrared filter into your system
configuration.
Please note that exposure to long wavelength light outside of the sensors visible
optical range can affect the image.
For stabilized image capturing, turn ON the power supply and execute aging for
ten to twenty minutes before actually using the camera unit.
Do not share the power supply with motor units or other devices that generate
noise interference.
Do not disconnect the camera while rewriting the embedded memory.
When you change the exposure mode that is set at the NED factory, input control
signal (CC1) from the capture board.
SG (Signal Ground) and FG (Frame Ground) are connected inside the camera.
Please install your system such that a loop is not created by the GND potential
difference.

2.4 Optical Interface
The amount and wavelengths of light required to capture useful images depend
on the intended use. Factors include the property, speed, the object’s spectral
characteristics, exposure time, the light source characteristics, the specifications
of the acquisition system and so on.
The exposure amount (exposure time x light amount) is the most important factor
in getting desirable images. Please determine the exposure amount after studying
what is most important to your system.
Keep these guidelines in mind when setting up your light source:
LED light sources are relatively inexpensive, provide a uniform field and
longer life span compared to other light sources. However, they also require a
camera with excellent sensitivity.
Halogen light sources generally provide very little blue relative to infrared
light (IR).
Fiber-optic light distribution systems generally transmit very little blue light
relative to IR.
Metal halide light sources are very bright but have a shorter life span
compared to other light sources.
Generally speaking, the brighter light sources, the shorter life span.
CCD image sensors are sensitive to infrared (IR). We recommend using daylight
color fluorescent lamps that have low IR emissions. If you use a halogen light
source, to prevent infrared from distorting the images use an IR cutoff filter that
does not transmit IR wavelengths.

4 Camera startup
4.1 Flow of Camera Control
Immediately after turning on the power, the camera does not output image data
(packets). In order to output image data, it is necessary to first perform Device
Discovery.
Please see the manual for your viewer software on how to perform device
discovery. If you are using the GigEGrab software shipped with this camera,
please see the GigE カメラ＿NED ビュアーソフト説明書.pdf on the same
CD-ROM.
4.2 Startup
After turning on, the camera runs a startup procedure before it starts getting
images and outputting data.
The startup procedure is as follows.
(1) The camera initializes the hardware.
(2) Reads out the latest camera settings from the flash memory. (User settings if
any or factory default settings)
(3) Sets up the camera with the setting values from the flash memory.
After this sequence, the camera is ready to get images and output data.
In order to output image data, it is necessary to perform Device Discovery from the
PC side.
