Basler ace USB 3.0 57
For more specific information about the lens thread length, see Section 1.6.2 on page 42.
NOTICE
Constant operating conditions for acA1920-150um/uc (order numbers 106758, 106760) and
acA2500-60um/uc (order numbers 106742, 106744) cameras.
The cameras require constant ambient temperature and are designed for continuous operation
only.
Make sure the cameras are constantly powered up: Interrupt the connection or switch of the
connected computer only when required for installation or maintenance.
If you do not observe these instructions, the lifetime of the camera will be reduced significantly.
NOTICE
Avoid dust on the sensor.
The camera is shipped with a protective plastic cap on the lens mount. To avoid collecting dust on
the camera’s IR cut filter (color cameras) or sensor (mono cameras), make sure that you always
put the plastic cap in place when there is no lens mounted on the camera.
To avoid collecting dust on the camera’s IR cut filter (color cameras) or sensor (mono cameras),
make sure to observe the following:
Always put the plastic cap in place when there is no lens mounted on the camera.
Make sure that the camera is pointing down every time you remove or replace the plastic cap
or a lens.
Never apply compressed air to the camera. This can easily contaminate optical components,
particularly the sensor.
NOTICE
On all cameras, the lens thread length is limited.
All cameras (mono and color) are equipped with a plastic filter holder located in the cylindric
housing extension. The location of the filter holder limits the length of the threads on any lens you
use with the camera. If a lens with a very long thread length is used, the filter holder or the lens
mount will be damaged or destroyed and the camera will no longer operate properly.
NOTICE
Using a wrong pin assignment can severely damage the camera:
Make sure the cable and plug you connect to the 6-pin I/O connector follow the correct pin
assignment.
