and special safety instructions/cautions depending on the camera model used.
General safety instructions
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.
• The camera does not 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
