Compliance, safety, and intended use
43Alvium G1 User Guide V1.7.0
Camera mounting
Cameras must be mounted using the mounting threads. If vibration is higher than
specified, cameras can disconnect from the mounting. Falling cameras can hurt
you. To avoid personal injury:
• Mount the camera according to the instructions in Mounting Alvium G1
cameras on page 178.
• Ensure, shock and vibration do not exceed the specified range, see Shock and
vibration on page 49.
• Use a lens support if you want to use Heavy lenses.
Heavy lenses
For non-static applications, use lenses with a mass less than 140 grams and a
length less than 38 mm, where the center of gravity is 20 mm, measured from the
lens mount front flange. For heavier or longer lenses, use a lens support and apply
additional tests. For more information, please contact support at
www.alliedvision.com/en/about-us/contact-us/technical-support-repair-/-rma.
Product safety
To prevent material damage, read the following and understand how to safely
handle and operate the camera. Get helpful details about electrical connections
and learn how to optimize camera performance.
Electrical connections
ESD
Follow these instructions to avoid damage to the camera, including possible
damage to the sensor, see the note in Sensor on page 46. ESD is dangerous for
electronic devices, especially when tools or hands get in contact with connectors
and electronic components. We recommend measures to avoid damage by ESD:
• Unpacking: Remove the camera from its anti-static packaging only when your
body is grounded.
• Workplace: Use a static-safe workplace with static-dissipative mat and air
ionization.
• Wrist strap: Wear a static-dissipative wrist strap to ground your body.
• Clothing: Wear ESD clothing. Keep components away from your body and
clothing. Even if you are wearing a wrist strap, your body is grounded but your
clothes are not.
• Screw-locks: Tighten screw locks of all cabling prior powering the camera. Do
not touch locking screws during operation to prevent camera malfunction.
Applied mechanical tests
See Shock and vibration on page 49 for standards compliance.
