2Getting Started
2.1 General Precautions
2.1.1 Environmental Conditions
Recommended environmental conditions are:
Temperature range during operation:
< + 40°C / ~ + 104°F (ambient temperature)
> 0°C / ~ + 32°F (ambient temperature)
Humidity:
< 80%
Optronis does not guaranty camera operation beyond above conditions and camera
lifetime might be reduced.
2.1.2 Camera Handling
Please be careful when using camera. Pay attention especially to:
Camera power
Please be careful when powering camera. Use power over
Coaxpress (PoCXP) or delivered external power supply (option).
Temperature and Humidity
Please respect recommended conditions. You may use controlled
airflow or heatsinks to keep camera in better temperature
conditions.
Direct sun light
Please avoid direct-sun light, camera sensor may be damaged.
Dust and Cleaning
The camera is produced in a dust-controlled environment. Please
be careful when changing lens, mount or accessing any part close
to the sensor.
Always unplug the camera before cleaning it. Do not use cleaning
liquids or sprays. Instead, use a dry and soft duster.
Do not open the housing of the camera.
Warranty becomes void if the camera housing is opened.

2.2 Setting Up System
2.2.1 Typical System Configuration
A typical system with Optronis CoaXPress camera is composed of:
•An Optronis CoaXPress camera
•CoaXPress cables
•An acquisition and control system (a CoaXPress Frame Grabber in a PC)
•A Control Software based on Frame Grabber features
•Optional features (External power supply, External synchronization system, etc…).
Here is an illustration of such a system:
Figure 1: Typical System
2.2.2 Set Up Lenses
Please be careful when installing or removing camera lens. Depending on your lens mount type and lens, pay
attention to following points:
•If your lens has a mounting mark, first align lens-holder and lens mounting marks and then rotate
anti-clockwise to lock the lens. To remove the lens, unlock the lens-holder silver clip and rotate
clockwise until marks are aligned. Then remove the lens.
•If your lens has a screw thread, rotate anti-clockwise to remove it and clockwise to installing it.
•If you are removing the lens from the camera, always use a cap on the camera to avoid dust
infiltration.
Use also caps on both lens sides for the same reason.
•Do not forget to remove the cap of your lens before using the camera.

2.2.3 Optical Considerations
A typical optical system can be represented as below.
Figure 2: Field of View
Using above notations:
The sensor size depends on frame dimension:

To select a lens, you can use the following formula:
   


(distancesinmillimeters)
Alternatively, if you already have a lens, you can compute working distance using the following formula:

󰇢
(distancesinmillimeters)
Examples:
•PixelSize = 0.008mm
•Full resolution 1696 x 1708
•FoW = Object size = 100 mm
•WD = 300 mm
