The symbols used in this manual:
Note: This symbol highlights important information.
Warning: This symbol highlights important instructions. These instructions
must be followed to avoid malfunctions!
1.5. Safety Warnings
The following safety warnings must be followed:
Supply voltage polarity: Use the correct polarity of the 12 V supply voltage.
Warranty: The warranty becomes void in case of unauthorized tampering or
any manipulations not approved by the manufacturer.
Electrostatic discharge: The camera contains sensitive electronic
components which can be destroyed by means of electrostatic discharge.
Use sufficient grounding to minimize the risk of damage.
Models with Camera Link interface: First connect CL camera and grabber
with Camera Link data cable, and afterwards
supply power to the CL
camera.
Environmental conditions: Operate the camera in dry and dust free
environment.
Regarding the signal quality of the camera it is an advantage to operate the
camera under constant ambient air temperature (~20°C).
Beneath or above ambient temperature a sufficient heating or cooling may
be necessary.

3.Optical Interface
The optical interface to the Bobcat consists of three parts: the front plate, a lens adapter
and a lens (see Figure 3-1). The bobcat camera can only be used with C-mount lenses.
The lens adaptor ring is used to adjust the focal distance of the lens.
Front plate
Lens
Lens adaptor ring
Figure 3-1 Main optical components: lens – front plate – adaptor ring
C-mount lenses provide a male thread which mates with a female thread on the camera.
The thread is nominally 1 inch (25 mm) in diameter, with 32 threads per inch, designated
as "1-32 UN 2A" in the ANSI B1.1 standard for unified screw threads. The flange focal
distance is 17.526 millimeters (0.6900 in).
Table 3-1 lists all possible lenses.

3.1. Lens Cleaning
It is possible to use the following different solvents to clean a lens:
•Ethanol: removal of fingerprints and other contaminants
•Alcohol: final cleaning before use.
Perform the following steps to clean a lens:
1. Immerse lens tissue in Alcohol / Propanol or Ethanol (reagent grade).
2. Wipe the lens in "S" motion in such way that each lens area will not be
wiped more than once!
3. Repeat stage 2 until the lens is clean. Use a new lens tissue each time!
