Page 15: Camera Applications And Intended Use
• The camera-supporting software can be obtained and installed separately from the camera. Usage of the software is solely the responsibility of the user. • The camera must not be disassembled. For all repair tasks, contact Allied Vision or one of Allied Vision's authorized representatives. -
Page 16: Your Safety
Compliance, safety, and intended use Your safety This section informs about issues related to your personal safety. Descriptions explain how to avoid hazards and operate Alvium CSI-2 cameras safely. Handling lens mounts The lens mount thread has sharp edges. Be careful these edges do not cut your skin when mounting or unmounting lenses. -
Page 17: Product Safety
The MIPI CSI-2 standard does not specify electrical connections as extensively as USB or GigE standard. Read specifications carefully. Allied Vision accessories help to avoid damage to the camera and connected components. See the Alvium Cameras Accessory Guide for suitable accessories. - Page 18 Compliance, safety, and intended use Electrostatic discharge (ESD) Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is dangerous for electronic devices, especially when tools or hands get in contact with connectors and electronic components. We recommend measures to avoid damage by ESD: • Unpacking: Remove the camera from its anti-static packaging only when your body is grounded.
