1.5 REPLACEMENT OF CCD IMAGE SENSOR
Notes:
•
Pay the most careful attention to the transparent glass
and optical LPF of the CCD image sensor so a not the
soil and damage them. If something is soiled with fin-
ger-prints, etc., gently clean it with silicon-processed
paper/cloth or chamois.
• When the CCD image sensor is shipped from the fac-
tory, there are protection seals applied onto the transpar-
ent glass. Leave the protector as it is, and take it off just
before assembling the CCD image sensor to the OP
block.
1.5.1 Removal of CCD image sensor
1. Remove two screws (1, 2) securing the CCD base assy,
and disassemble the CCD spacer, the optical LPF,
spacer rubber.
1.5.2 Installation of new CCD image sensor
1. Remove the protection seal from a new CCD image sen-
sor. Next, put the optical LPF, spacer rubber, CCD spacer
on the CCD image sensor as they are piled up in this
order. At that time, make sure of orientation of each item
refering to the following table (see Fig. 1-5-1).
2. Fix the CCD base assy to OP block with the two screws
(1, 2) . At that time, be careful of the orientation.
3. After completion of all P.C. boards to the camera sec-
tion, observe the monitor to confirm no vignetting caused
by the bodytube, rings, lens hood, etc. If no vignetting is
observed, it can be said that image's parallel, horizontality
and centering are correct.
1.5.3 Replacement of CCD board assy
1. Remove one screw (3).
2. Unsolder at the fourteen points on the CCD board assy.
Note:
1. Remove the screw (3) only when the CCD board
assy needs replacement.
2. When installing a new CCD board assy, carry out the
above-mentioned procedure in the reverse order.
