3.6 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
The optical parts of NECTA cameras are assembled in a clean environment and the camera lens mount
is factory sealed using a protective lm, preserving optical parts from being contaminated by dust. Re-
move the seal only just before connecting the lens. Never leave the mount hole uncapped. Perform
the required operations quickly and without hesitation, keeping the camera facing downwards. It is rec-
ommended to carry out all the operations that may contaminate the optical parts (like removing the
protective seal) in an appropriate environment, free from dust and humidity.
3.6.1 Temperature and humidity
During operations, the case of the camera must remain below 50 °C. Otherwise sensitivity, linearity,
dynamics and signal/noise ratio may be degraded.
