Basler Scout - Precautions

Specifications, Requirements, and Precautions
Basler scout 37
1.9 Precautions
For more specific information about the lens thread length, see Section 1.5.3 on page 32.
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.
To further enhance dust protection, the internal space in the camera that
contains the imaging sensor is sealed off from the camera’s other internal
spaces.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
Incorrect Power Can Cause Damage
The polarity of the power on the camera’s IEEE 1394b socket must be as
shown in the pin assignment table. Do not reverse the power polarity.
Reversing the polarity will damage the camera.
If the voltage to the camera is greater than +36 VDC, damage to the camera
can result. If the voltage is less than +8 VDC, the camera may operate
erratically.
CAUTION
