●Handling Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION
If the camera is operated in the electromagnetic field, there may be cases where beat
noises (vertical, horizontal, or oblique stripes) appear in the video output. In that
case, take preventive measures on the electromagnetic-wave generating source so
that your camera do not receive the interference by the electromagnetic-wave. Take
extra precautions against electromagnetic-wave-interference if your camera is used
with a servomotor, inverter, or other electromagnetic-wave-generating equipment.
CAUTION
Avoid giving a strong shock against the camera body. It might cause a breakdown
or damage. If your camera is used in a system where its camera head is subjected to
strong repetitive shocks, its camera head is possible to break down. If you intend to
use your camera in such a situation, make sure to use an optional
camera-connector-fixing-hardware to connect the connector-plug to the camera
body.
CAUTION
When the camera is not in use, put a lens or a lens-cap onto the camera head so that
the image pickup plane of CCD is protected from dust, foreign object, or any other
flaw-causing object. If the glass plane (image pickup plane) gets dirty, clean it with
a cotton swab. When it needs to be cleaned with a cleaner, be sure NOT to use any
organic solvent other than ethyl alcohol. As a countermeasure against
condensation, when the camera is moved from a warm condition/environment to a
cold one, take appropriate precautions to prevent condensation from forming on the
camera.
CAUTION
Do not pull strongly the camera cable/camera-head nor swing it. The stress from
pulling or swinging may cause damage in the coating of the cable, or breaks in the
inside wires.
CAUTION
Avoid short-circuiting signal output. Otherwise, it may cause a malfunction.
CAUTION
If too much amount of light, (= the incoming light amount of 100 times or greater in
comparison with standard light) enters CCD image pickup plane, video output
might not be obtained. In such a case, take measures to reduce the amount of
incoming light.
CAUTION
Do NEVER expose its camera head to any intensive light (such as direct sunlight).
Otherwise, its inner image pickup device might get damaged.
CAUTION
When mounting a lens, take extra caution so that the lens is not tilted, nor does flaw
exist at the lens-mount-screw part. Also check to confirm that no dirt nor other
foreign object is put inside. Improper mounting might cause the parts to become
locked.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This device is designed and guaranteed to work under the temperature range of 0
through 40 degree C. Avoid using the equipment beyond that limits.
Do NOT expose the camera’s image-pickup-plane to sunlight or other intense light
directly. Its inner CCD (charge-coupled device) might be damaged.
In the event that any abnormal condition is observed, turn the power switch OFF
immediately. Do NOT try to continue to use the camera. To do so in spite of
clear signs of malfunction invites a fire, an electric shock hazard, or any other
serious damage to the camera. In such case, contact us or our dealer/distributor
from which you purchased the camera for repair service.
To clean the body of this equipment, make sure to turn the power switch OFF first.

1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Model CS8550D is a one-body type B/W CCD camera with a VGA format
all-pixel-data readout CCD. This model has twice greater driving frequency of
conventional cameras to achieve fast-speed data-processing. The model is suited for
high-speed, high-resolution image processing use. Its compact, light-weight body is
ideal for system integration.
2. FEATURES
(1) Double-speed scan
This model reads out image-data twice as fast as conventional cameras do.
(2) All pixel's data readout
With its built-in all-pixel-data-readout CCD, this model can read out image-data just in
approximately 1/60 sec. A frame-shutter reads out all data even under RTS mode.
(3) High vertical resolution
As all pixel's data are read out even under RTS mode (in 1/60 sec.), images with no
deterioration in vertical resolution are obtained.
(4) Square grid pattern CCD
Pixel's in CCD are aligned in square grid pattern. This makes it easier to perform
computation correctly for image processing use.
(5) External Sync.
The camera is switched over to external synchronization operation automatically when
external HD/VD signal is input.
(6) Random trigger shutter function
With a built-in RTS (Random Trigger Shutter), the camera’s CCD starts light-exposure
in synchronization with external trigger signals. This function enables the camera to
capture fast-moving subjects at constant position for precise image processing.
(7) Restart / Reset
Under the restart / reset mode, this model can capture images at an arbitrary timing cued
by external VD signal.
(8) Multiple shutter
With this shutter, this model capture images at an arbitrary timing cued by external
trigger signal, and then outputs video at an arbitrary timing cued by external VD signal.
(9) Partial-scan
Under the partial scan mode, only 1/2 or 1/4 screen center portion of image information
is read out, resulting in a faster operation.

7
(10) Ultra-compact & light-weight camera head
The model features its ultra-compact and light-weight camera head, freeing you from
your integration-space-problem. In addition, it has an excellent shock and vibration
resistance.

By designating the high-speed transfer portion with external PARTIAL signal input, the
camera read out only the portion of CCD area necessary for your application. This is
available under external sync.
(Conditions)
l The starting point of external partial signal is [※1] from the falling edge of ex-VD.
l The external partial signal is controlled at each ex-HD falling edge. Set the start /
finish of the external partial signal in 1H increments.
l The number of 1H high-speed transfer line is 10 lines. The actual lines are
determined by the external partial signal “hi” length. (Minimum: 2H = 20 lines)
l After high-speed transfer, 2H is allocated to blank transfer period. Normal transfer
starts at the next line.
l VIDEO OUT vertical blanking is;
V blanking = [※1](H) + n(H) + BLK transfer [2(H)] – 1H
Example follows below.
(High-speed minimum 2H = 20 lines, Normal-speed 70 lines + BLK 2H)
