7.2 Application of External Cabling
The camera interface has a M8 and a M12 industrial grade connector. The M8 connector is used
for power supply and external synchronization while the M12 connector serves for data transmission
and power over Ethernet (in case the M8 connector is not used for power supply). Both are
receptacles for relatively large external cable connectors.
When connecting the camera with external cable connectors (either M8 or M12), the corresponding
camera connector nut should be held with an appropriate wrench. In the case the nut is not held
by a wrench, the respective connector could be turned together with the cable if excessive force
is applied. This should be prevented as it could cause damage to the internal camera wiring.
The FRAMOS D400e series camera is supplied with the M8 connector covered with a protective
plastic cap. The function of the protective cap is to protect the M8 connector against impurities and
moisture in the case the connector is not used, thus keeping it clean and ready for future.
When attaching M8 and M12 cables to camera, connectors
should be fixed with a tool (wrench/key) so that the connectors do not rotate
under force.
Use the protective cap on the M8 connector in the case the
M8 connector is not used to protect it from environmental influences (exposure
of connector pins to humidity, dust, and other particles). Note that protective cap
does not influence the IP rating of the camera.
7.3 Cleaning Procedures
Depending on the operating environment, the camera needs to be cleaned from time to time. For
cleaning the camera housing, it is recommended to use a soft camera cleaning brush or a soft
cleaning cloth.
Using an eyeglass cleaning cloth is recommended for cleaning the camera glass window. Although
the hardness of used glass is grade 6H, special attention is required when cleaning the window to
prevent long term decreasing of optical properties. Using inadequate cleaning materials can cause
micro scratches of the camera window.
Ethyl alcohol can be used for light wiping of the entire camera housing. Using strong solvents is not
recommended and can lead to aesthetic or functional damage of the camera.
