40 Basler ace GigE
1.8 Precautions
For more specific information about the lens thread length, see Section 1.4.2 on page 33.
NOTICE
Avoid dust on the sensor.
The camera is shipped with a plastic seal on the lens mount. To avoid collecting dust on the
camera’s IR cut filter (color cameras) or sensor (mono and mono NIR cameras), make sure
that you always put the plastic seal in place when there is no lens mounted on the camera.
Every time you remove or replace the plastic seal, 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, color, and mono NIR) 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.
1. If you are supplying camera power via Power over Ethernet (PoE), the power must comply
with the IEEE 802.3af specification.
2. If you are supplying camera power via the camera’s 6-pin connector and the voltage of the
power is greater than +13.2 VDC, damage to the camera can result. If the voltage is less
than +10.8 VDC, the camera may operate erratically.
NOTICE
An incorrect plug can damage the 6-pin connector.
The plug on the cable that you attach to the camera’s 6-pin connector must have 6 female pins.
Using a plug designed for a smaller or a larger number of pins can damage the
connector.
