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
■Warranty period
One year after delivery (However, the camera had malfunction with camera uses correctly)
In below case for a fee even within warranty period.
・The malfunction caused by incorrect usage, incorrect modify or repair.
・The malfunction caused by external shock including the camera dropping after delivery the camera.
・The malfunction caused by fire, earthquake, flood disaster, thunderbolt struck, other natural disaster or
wrong voltage.
■Warranty coverage
Exchange or repair the malfunction camera if the malfunction is occurred by our responsibility.
“Warranty” mean is warranty for the delivered camera itself. Please accept the induction damage by the
camera malfunction is not included.

8.2 Pulse width trigger mode
The camera exposure starts by the trigger signal.
In this trigger mode with positive trigger polarity, the camera exposure starts at the rising edge of the trigger signal
and stops at the falling edge of the trigger signal.
Therefore, In the case of the exposure positive polarity is selected, the exposure periods (exposure time) are the
high states of the trigger signal.
