alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemicals because such chemicals may damage or discolor the paint
and indications.
Cleaning the sensor window
Avoid cleaning the sensor window if possible. Keep lens cap closed as long as no lens is attached, avoid
touching the sensor. If necessary, clean the sensor window using compressed air. If further cleaning is
required, use lint-free, ESD-safe cloth wiper. Avoid cloth that could generate static charge or that could
scratch the window. The camera should be cleaned in an ESD-safe area. The person performing cleaning
should be earthed.
Connectors
Take care when handling the camera so that no damage can be done to the connectors. Prevent foreign
objects in the connectors.
Handle carefully
Always transport the camera in its original packaging. Do not drop the equipment or allow it to be
subject to strong impact or vibration, as such action may cause malfunctions. Do not damage the
connection cable, since this may cause wire breakage. If the camera is not in use, attach the lens cap to
the camera to protect the image pickup surface. If the equipment is not to be used for a long duration,
turn off power to the camera for safety.
Check compatibility of lens
Depending on lens and lighting an image can be reflected as a ghost into the imaging area. This is not a
fault of the camera. Depending on the lens the performance of the camera might not be brought out
fully due to deterioration in resolution and brightness in the peripheral area, aberration and other side
effects. Be sure to check lens and lightning you plan to use for compatibility with your camera. When
installing a lens in the camera make sure that it is not tilted. Use a mounting screw free from defects and
dirt. Otherwise the lens might not be removable from the camera.
Install lenses with a protrusion from bottom of the screw equal or less than 10 mm. If a lens does not
fulfill this condition it might damage the camera when trying to be installed.

Dropping Frames
Depending on your PC or Gigabit Ethernet interface board configurations, images may not be captured
properly (e.g. dropping frames). In this case, change to frame rate setting lower.
Occurrence of moiré
If you shoot thin stripe patterns, moiré patterns (interference fringes) may appear. This is not a
malfunction.
Electromagnetic fields
Keep the camera away from strong electromagnetic fields. Avoid static charging and handle the camera
in ESD protected area. If an intense magnetic or electromagnetic field is generated near the camera or
connection cable, noise may be generated on the screen. If this occurs, move the camera or the cable.

Camera Mount
4 mounting screw holes are available on the camera's bottom side to mount the camera on the GigEPRO
camera mounting plate, two close to the front side and two close to the back side of the camera as
outlined in Figure 2: GigEPRO Camera Dimension. The holes are M3 and screw length of 3mm is allowed.
Lens Mount
C-Mount
All GigEPRO models are equipped in the factory with a C-mount adapter (1–inch thread diameter, 32
threads per inch, 17.526 mm flange back) which is adjusted to precisely fulfill the C-mount flange back
distance. Modifications to this adjustment are strongly discouraged since the factory precision is lost.
CS-Mount
The GigEPRO camera supports CS-Mount with 12.5 mm flange back after removing the C-Mount adapter
from the camera head. To remove the C-Mount adapter the two 1mm hex-socket screws on the top and
bottom side of the camera's head can be released. After the two screws in the mounting points are
loosened the C-mount adapter can be released. The CS-Mount lens can then be installed directly into the
cameras head. When finished with adjusting fasten the flange back position of the lens with the two
screws again to fix your adjustments.

Both PoE modes (A and B) are supported by the camera.
GigEPRO cameras are classified in the power level class 0.
When connecting multiple PoE cameras to a single PoE switch verify how much total power the switch
can provide and how it handles cases when the limit is exceeded.
Note:
Please control the power supply of the camera to be off when plugging in or pulling out the I/O
connector. Always use a LAN cable with a lock screw and secure the camera cable as close as possible to
the camera body in order to avoid physical damage to the camera connector and electronics.
