Hardware Warranty described in the Terms and Conditions on our

website.

Your FLIR machine vision camera is a precisely manufactured device and should be handled with care. Here are some

tips on how to care for the device.

n Avoid electrostatic charging.

n If you have purchased a board-level camera you should take the following additional protective measures:

n Either handle bare handed or use non-chargeable gloves, clothes or material. Also, use conductive shoes.

n Install a conductive mat on the floor or working table to prevent the generation of static electricity.

n When handling the camera unit, avoid touching the lenses. Fingerprints will affect the quality of the image

produced by the device.

n To clean the lenses, use a standard camera lens cleaning kit or a clean dry cotton cloth. Do not apply excessive

force.

n Extended exposure to bright sunlight, rain, dusty environments, etc. may cause problems with the electronics

and the optics of the system.

n Avoid excessive shaking, dropping or any kind of mishandling of the device.
