Operating precautions
(continued)
Turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting
the cables.
Always be sure to turn off the power before connecting or
disconnecting the cables.
Handle the unit carefully.
Do not drop the unit or subject it to strong impact or vibration.
Doing so may cause the unit to malfunction.
When the unit is not in use
Turn off the unit’s power when it is not in use.
When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not leave it
lying around, but be absolutely sure to dispose of it properly.
Do not touch the optical system parts.
The optical system parts are the very heart of the camera.
Under no circumstances must they be touched.
In the unlikely event that they have become dusty, remove
the dust by using a camera blower or by wiping them gently
with a lens cleaning paper.
Do not point the camera directly at the sun or a laser
beam no matter whether it is turned on or not.
Taking images of the sun, laser beams, or other brightly lit
subjects for prolonged periods of time may damage the MOS
sensor.
Personal computer used
If the same image is displayed for a prolonged period on a
PC monitor, the monitor may be damaged. Use of a screen
saver is recommended.
Concerning the IP address setting
Do not run the Easy IP Setup Software on a multiple number
of personal computers for a single camera and set the IP
address at the same time.
Otherwise, you will be unable to complete the proper
procedure and set the IP address correctly.
Do not allow foreign matter to make contact with the
rotating parts.
Otherwise, trouble may be caused.
Self-diagnosis function
When an abnormal operation caused by the effects of
extraneous noise or other factors continues for more
than 30 seconds during use, the unit’s reset operation
will automatically be triggered, after which the unit will
restart. After it has started up again, the same initialization
operation as when the power is turned on will be performed.
If abnormal operations occur frequently, it may be because
high levels of extraneous noise are being generated in the
environment where the camera has been installed.
These events will cause problems in the camera so consult
with your dealer as soon as possible.
Keep the unit away from water.
Avoid all direct contact with water. Otherwise, problems may
occur.
Maintenance
Turn off the unit’s power before proceeding with maintenance.
Otherwise, you may injure yourself.
Wipe the surfaces using a soft dry cloth. Avoid all contact
with benzene, paint thinners and other volatile substances,
and avoid using these substances. Otherwise, the casing
may become discolored.
Do not turn the camera head by hand.
Turning the camera head by hand may cause the unit to
malfunction.
Use the unit in an environment with minimal moisture
and dust.
Avoid using the unit in an environment with high
concentration of moisture or dust since these conditions will
damage the internal parts.
Disposal of the unit
When the unit has reached the end of its service life and is
to be disposed of, ask a qualified contractor to dispose of the
unit properly in order to protect the environment.
