Read carefully these safety instructions before installing and using the product. The producer is not responsible for damages and injury, which can occur due to false handling of the product and ignoring the safety instructions. All warranty will be spoiled in this case.

Intended use

IDS industrial cameras are to be used to capture images for visualization and image processing tasks. They are designed for use in industrial environments. Please comply with the requirements for the proper use of this product. Failure to do so will render the warranty void.

•The product is not authorized for use in security relevant applications. If it used in security relevant applications, the customer is responsible for the necessary approvals.

•The CE, FCC and/or UL approval expires for all certified products when the product is modified or changed. In this case the customer is responsible for ensuring product conformity.

•The warranty expires if the product is improperly disassembled, reworked or repaired by the customer or a third party and IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH assumes no liability for defects. If you need service, please contact the support team.

•The product is not a toy. Operate and store out of the reach of children.

Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD)

Board-level cameras are especially sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Make sure to avoid mechanical or electrical damage of the printed circuit board or its connections. Wear ESD-protective clothing and observe the rules for handling ESD-sensitive components.

•Do not touch the printed circuit board while it is powered.

•Always hold the board by the edges to avoid the risk of electrostatic discharge damage.

•For optimum ESD behavior, a clearance of 4 mm from non-shielded housings must be maintained all the way around. For shielded housings, a smaller clearance is possible.

•Attach the board to a conductive surface using the fixing screws. If this is not possible, ensure an insulating connection.

•Use connecting cable with a low-resistance shield on both sides.

Installation, operation and maintenance

The product must be connected, taken into operation and maintained only by appropriately qualified personnel. The error-free and safe operation of this product can only be ensured if it is properly transported, stored, set up and assembled, and operated and maintained with due care. The installation, inspection, maintenance, extension, and repair may only be done by authorized personnel.

•Observe the specifications in the documentation when installing the product.

•Do not subject the product to direct sunlight, moisture or shock. Note in particular the permitted IP code of the product.

•Only operate the product under ambient conditions for which the respective product is approved. The use under other ambient conditions may result in damage.

•To avoid any damage to the connectors, only mount or remove the product with the cables disconnected.

•Lay cables in such way that no one is endangered.

•Before starting up, check if the electrical wiring corresponds to the specifications in the documentation. Faulty wiring (overvoltage, undervoltage) can result in a damage in the electronics.

Transport

•Only use ESD packaging for storage and transport of ESD-sensitive components.

•Keep packing materials like films away from children. Abuse may result in suffocation.

Operation and power supply

WARNING! Non-approved power supplies for camera operation may cause painful or dangerous electric shock. Serious injury or death may occur. Use a power supply that meet the safety extra-low voltage (SELV) and limited power source (LPS) requirements.

•In order to ensure electrical safety, we recommend using a shielded connection cable or grounding the camera housing so that the camera housing is connected to ground via the appropriate installation.

WARNING! If you use a USB hub with external power supply, the powered USB hub must meet the safety extra-low voltage (SELV) and limited power source (LPS) requirements.

CAUTION! As the camera housing may get hot depending on the operating conditions there may be risk of burns. Provide sufficient heat dissipation so that the housing temperature does not exceed 55 °C (131 °F).

NOTICE! Cameras with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) can be supplied with voltage both from an external source and via PoE. The camera should not be supplied through both voltage sources at once as this can irreparably damage the camera.

Correct disposal

Dispose the camera and accessories properly and separately from other types of waste to encourage recycling of reusable materials and to protect the environment.
