1 Product Precautions
 Do not give shock to the camera.
 Do not haul or damage the camera cable.
 Do not wrap the camera with any material while using the camera. This will cause the internal camera
temperature to increase.
 When the camera moving or using the place that temperature difference is extreme, countermeasure for dew
condensation (heat removal / cold removal) is necessary.
 While the camera is not using, keep the lens cap on the camera to prevent dust or contamination from getting
in the sensor or filter and scratching or damaging it.
Do not keep the camera under the following conditions.
・ In wet, moist, high humidity or dusty place
・ Under direct sunlight
・ In extreme high or low temperature place
・ Near an object that releases a strong magnetic or electric filed
・ Place with strong vibrations
 Apply the power that satisfies the specified in specifications for the camera.
 The defective pixels may appear due to the sensor characteristics.
 Use below recommend materials (or equivalent materials) to clean the surface of glass.
・ Air dust: Non Freon air duster (NAKABAYASHI Co., LTD.)
・ Alcohol: Propan-2-ol (SAN’EI KAKO Co., LTD.)
・ Non-woven: nikowipe clean room (NKB)
 Use a soft cloth to clean the camera.
2 Warranty

(*1) Please insure the camera is installed with the appropriate heat dissipation. If camera has a mounted lens and a tripod
with an aluminum plate, this could decrease the camera housing temperature for heat dissipation. When the internal
temperature sensor on the camera shows less than 74 deg. C, the camera housing temperature (top plate) will be less than
64 deg. C.
Taking these steps will maintain the heat rating of the electronic components of the camera.

less than 50 mA.
When using as input, current limiting resistor does not necessary. However, camera does not have current
limiting circuit on camera. The camera inside circuit may get damage if accidentally uses as output without
current limiting resistor. For safety, please add current limiting resistor even use as input.
