General Safety Notices#

WARNING – Electric Shock and Fire Hazard / Risque de choc électrique et d'incendie

Unapproved power supplies may cause electric shock or fire or both. Serious injury or death may occur.

  • You must use power supplies that meet the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) and Limited Power Source (LPS) or the Electrical Source 1 (ES1) and Power Source 2 (PS2) requirements.

Les blocs d'alimentation non approuvés peuvent causer des décharges électriques ou des départs de feu, ou les deux. Celles-ci représentent un risque de mort ou de blessure grave.

  • Vous devez utiliser un bloc d'alimentation conforme aux exigences Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) et Limited Power Source (LPS) ou Electrical Source 1 (ES1) et Power Source 2 (PS2).
WARNING – Injury Hazard / Risque de blessure

Not securing the camera properly may cause serious injuries or death and damage the camera.

Due to the size and weight of the camera, there is a risk of causing serious injuries or death and damaging the camera if the camera falls from a certain height.

  • Make sure that the camera is attached securely to a suitable mounting body using at least two screws.
    See the topic about your camera model for mounting points and screw hole sizes.

Une mauvaise fixation de la caméra peut entraîner des blessures graves, voire mortelles, et endommager la caméra.

En raison de la taille et du poids de la caméra, il existe un risque de blessures graves, voire mortelles, et d'endommager la caméra si elle tombe d'une certaine hauteur.

  • Assurez-vous que la caméra est solidement fixée à un support approprié à l'aide d'au moins deux vis.
    Vous trouverez de plus amples informations quant aux points de montage et à la taille des fixations dans la rubrique relative au modèle de votre caméra.
NOTICE – Voltage outside of the specified range may damage the camera.
  • You must supply camera and I/O power within the safe operating voltage ranges given in the camera specification.
  • You must supply camera power with the correct polarity.
NOTICE – Using unsuitable lenses may damage the image sensor or the lens or both.

Make sure that your lens is compatible with the lens mount dimensions given in the Maximum Allowed Lens Intrusion topic. If you try to mount a lens with an overall lens intrusion that is larger than specified, you may damage the lens or the image sensor or both and the camera may not work properly anymore.

Suitable lenses are available via the Basler website.

NOTICE – Dust on the sensor may impair the camera's performance.
  • Always put the protective seal or cap in place when there is no lens mounted on the camera.
  • Make sure that the camera is pointing down whenever you remove or replace the protective seal or cap, a lens, or a lens adapter.
  • Never apply compressed air to the camera.
NOTICE – Using incorrect plugs may damage the camera's connectors.
  • Make sure that the plugs on the cables that you attach to the camera's pin connectors have the same number of pins as the corresponding connector.
  • The Micro-BNC (HD-BNC) connector must comply with the CoaXPress Standard version 2.0.
