Basler aviator GigE 15
1.8 Precautions
For more specific information about the lens thread length, see Section 1.4.3 on page 10.
NOTICE
Avoid dust on the sensor.
The camera is shipped with a 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.
NOTICE
On color cameras, the lens thread length is limited.
Color models of the camera with a C-mount lens adapter are equipped with an IR cut filter
mounted inside of the adapter. The location of this filter 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 IR cut filter will be
damaged or destroyed and the camera will no longer operate. Do not use a lens with a thread
length greater than 7.5 mm.
NOTICE
Applying incorrect power can damage the camera.
1. The camera’s nominal operating voltage is +12 VDC (± 10 %). If the voltage applied to the
camera is greater than +13.2 VDC, severe damage to the camera can result. If the voltage is
less than +10.8 VDC, the camera may operate erratically.
2. Make sure that the polarity of the power applied to the camera is correct. Applying power with
the wrong polarity can result in severe damage to the camera.
NOTICE
An incorrect plug can damage the camera’s 12-pin connector.
The plug on the cable that you attach to the camera’s 12-pin connector must have 12 female pins.
Using a plug designed for a smaller or a larger number of pins can damage the connector.
