Basler ace USB 3.0 31
1.9 Precautions
For more specific information about the lens thread length, see Section 1.4.2 on page 24.
NOTICE
Avoid dust on the sensor.
The camera is shipped with a 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 cap in place when there is no lens mounted on the camera.
Every time you remove or replace the plastic cap, a lens or a lens adapter, make sure that
the camera is pointing down.
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 lens mount.
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
Voltage outside of the specified range can cause damage.
You must supply camera power that complies with the Universal Serial Bus 3.0 specification.
The camera’s nominal operating voltage is +5 VDC, effective on the camera’s connector.
NOTICE
An incorrect plug can damage the 6-pin connector:
The plug on the cable that you attach to the camera’s 6-pin I/O connector must have 6
female pins. Using a plug designed for a smaller or a larger number of pins can damage the
connector.
The plug on the cable that you attach to the camera’s USB 3.0 Micro-B port must be
designed for use with the USB 3.0 Micro-B port. Trying to use any other type of plug can
destroy the port.
