5.2.2 Handling and cleaning
Do not attempt to disassemble camera.•
When installing or removing a lens, take care that water or dust does not enter the inside of
the camera.
•
5.2.3 Installing
Avoid installing or storing the camera in the following environments:
Environments exposed to direct sunlight, rain or snow.•
Environments where combustible or corrosive gas exists.•
Excessively warm or cold environment (Operating ambient temperature: 0 to 45 °C)•
Humid or dusty environment.•
Place subjected to excessive vibration or shock.•
Environment exposed to strong electric or magnetic field.•
It is recommended to mount the camera on a thermoconducting surface such as aluminum
or other metals rather than plastic or wood.
•
Please contact manufacturer or local distributor if you want to use additional enclosures for
higher ingress protection.
•
Do not aim the camera lens at the sun or other very strong light sources.•
5.2.4 Optimizing performance and life time
When the camera is used continuously for long time under high ambient temperature, the inside
electrical parts may deteriorate, resulting in shorter life span. Additional cooling by e.g. air
convection is recommended.
5.2.5 Connectors
Confirm the power is off before connecting or disconnecting a signal cable. Grasp connectors by the
body, not the attached wires.
5.2.6 Cleaning
Use a blower or a lens brush to remove dust on the lens or the optical filter.•
Do not disassemble front flange.•
Clean case with dry soft cloth. Use neutral detergent liquid if needed; wipe the cover with dry
cloth.
•
Do not use benzene, thinner, alcohol, liquid cleaner or spray-type cleaner.•
5.2.7 Adjusting the C-mount (mvBlueFOX3-2xxx-1xxx)
The mvBlueFOX3-2xxx-1xxx does not support back focus adjustment. However, with the four screw
locks at the front of the lens holder, it is possible to rotate the C-mount ring.
Warning:
In combination with mvBlueFOX3-2089 and mvBlueFOX3-2124 the C-mount lens holder has
to look upwards during the adjusting. Otherwise the aperture can jump out of the guide.
Loosen the screw locks with an Allen key (2.5 mm).•
With it, you can adjust the position of the lens, for example, to have the scale or the locking
screws of the lens at a specific position.
