Sensor safety instructions

Note



• There are no switches or parts inside the camera that

require adjustment. The guarantee becomes void upon

opening the camera casing.

• If the product is disassembled, reworked or repaired by

anyone other than a recommended service person, AVT or

its suppliers are not responsible for the subsequent

performance or quality of the camera.

•Thecameradoesnot generate dangerous voltages inter-

nally.

Note



• All color models are equipped with an optical filter to

eliminate the influence of infrared light hitting the sen-

sor. Please be advised that, as a side effect, this filter

reduces sensitivity in the visible spectrum. The optical fil-

ter is part of the back focus ring, which is threaded into

the C-Mount.

Caution



Sensor may be damaged

Light intensity or exposure time exceeding the saturation of

the sensor may damage the sensor irreparably.

This may occur in the following situations:

• Laser light hitting the sensor directly

• Bright light sources (e.g. sunlight) hitting the sensor

directly

• Camera is exposed to X-rays

Damages may be caused by:

• Overheating of color filters, microlenses or pixel struc-

tures

• Accelerated aging of color filters or pixel structures
