6 Important information
6.1 Important safety instructions
• We cannot and do not take any responsibility for the damage caused to you or to any other equipment
connected to the mvBlueFOX3. Similarly, warranty will be void, if a damage is caused by not following the
manual.
• Handle the mvBlueFOX3with care. Do not misuse the mvBlueFOX3. Avoid shaking, striking, etc. The mv←-
BlueFOX3could be damaged by faulty handling or shortage.
• Do not use accessories not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
• The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Using the board-level version:
– Provide sufficient cooling because single components can reach high temperatures.
– Handle with care and avoid damage of electrical components by electrostatic discharge (ESD):
*
Discharge body static (contact a grounded surface and maintain contact).
*
Avoid all plastic, vinyl, and styrofoam (except antistatic versions) around printed circuit boards.
*
Do not touch components on the printed circuit board with your hands or with conductive devices.
6.2 Operating considerations
6.2.1 Important safety notes
• Use this camera with a 12V to 24V DC power supply with following specifications: 12V, 2.5A ± 5% or 24V,
1.25A, ± 5%.
• Using the Model without housing (-M1) (p. 56) or Model without housing (-M2) (p. 58) :
– Handle with care and avoid damage of electrical components by electrostatic discharge (ESD):
*
Discharge body static (contact a grounded surface and maintain contact).
*
Avoid all plastic, vinyl, and styrofoam (except antistatic versions) around printed circuit boards.
*
Do not touch components on the printed circuit board with your hands or with conductive devices.
– Be careful when bending the flex cable of the Model without housing (-M1) (p. 56).
– Provide sufficient cooling because single components can reach high temperatures. Inadequate and
incorrect cooling invalidate the guarantee. For heat dissipation of the mvBlueFOX3-M2xxx-1111, we
recommend the surface of the FPGA (orange area of the following figure):
