6.2 Operating considerations 21
Warning
The mainboard's temperature may not exceed 80°C!
• Observe that flammable objects, water or metal do not enter the camera interior. These may lead to failure or
accident.
• Do not modify the camera or use the camera with external covers removed. These may cause failure, void
any warranties and pose a safety hazard.
• Stop using the camera at the approach of electrical storm (thunder audible). Protect the camera from rain if
using it outdoors.
• In the event of abnormal functioning, switch off the camera and disconnect the power cord. Contact MATRIX
VISION.
6.2.2 Handling and cleaning
• Do not attempt to disassemble camera.
• When installing or removing a lens, take care that water or dust does not enter the inside of the camera.
6.2.3 Installing
Avoid installing or storing the camera in the following environments:
• Environments exposed to direct sunlight, rain or snow.
• Environments where combustible or corrosive gas exists.
• Excessively warm or cold environment (Operating ambient temperature: 0 to 45 °C)
• Humid or dusty environment.
• Place subjected to excessive vibration or shock.
• Environment exposed to strong electric or magnetic field.
• It is recommended to mount the camera on a thermoconducting surface such as aluminum or other metals
rather than plastic or wood.
• Please contact manufacturer or local distributor if you want to use additional enclosures for higher ingress
protection.
• Do not aim the camera lens at the sun or other very strong light sources.
6.2.4 Optimizing performance and life time
When the camera is used continuously for long time under high ambient temperature, the inside electrical parts may
deteriorate, resulting in shorter life span. Additional cooling by e.g. air convection is recommended.
6.2.5 Connectors
Confirm the power is off before connecting or disconnecting a signal cable. Grasp connectors by the body, not the
attached wires.
