1.2 Product Key Features
The camera is equipped with On Semiconductor, USA Line scan CCD KLI-2113 which is Tri-linear
color CCD sensors.
Area of interest functions (AOI)
Two test image mode which makes more fault finding efficiency in the field.
Our camera design is compatible with several framegrabbers in available in the global market as it
offers very easy serial communication & camera configuration.
The CC1 control line is used by the camera as external sync inputs, CC2 line is optional line which
may use for camera reset (driver part). For external sync mode settings, The camera integration is
synchronized with external sync line.

1.4.2 Power Supply of camera

•





Warning!
Check camera supply voltage before using the camera.
Cut-off camera’s power supply before plug or un-plug and connectors.
Do not reverse the polarity of the input power! Reversing the polarity of the input
power can severely damage the camera and leave it non-operational.

Information!
Without sufficient cooling, the camera can get hot enough during operation. Allow
sufficient air circulation around the camera to prevent internal heat build-up in your
system and to keep the camera housing temperature during operation below
50°C. Provide additional cooling such as fans or heat sinks if necessary.

1.4.3 Warranty











Camera comes with 12 months warranty from the date of Invoice subject to following below terms.
Do not remove any of the camera’s labels. If labels are removed, user accepts that the warranty of
the camera is void.
Read this Manual first before using the camera
Keep foreign matter outside of the camera
Do not open the housing. Touching internal components may damage them. Be careful not to allow
liquids, flammable, or metallic material inside the camera housing. If operated with any foreign matter
inside, the camera may fail or cause a fire.
Electromagnetic fields: Do not operate the camera in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic fields.
Avoid electrostatic charging.
Transporting: Only transport the camera in its original packaging. Do not discard the packaging.
Cleaning: Avoid cleaning the surface of the CCD sensor if possible. If you must clean it, use a soft,
lint free cloth dampened with a small quantity of high quality window cleaner. Do not use ethylated
alcohol. Because electrostatic discharge can damage the CCD sensor, you must use a cloth that will
not generate electrostatic charge during cleaning (cotton is a good choice).
To clean the surface of the camera housing, use a soft, dry cloth. To remove severe stains, use a soft
cloth dampened with a small quantity of neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Do not use volatile solvents
such as benzene and thinners; they can damage the surface finish of the camera.
