Phenomena Specific to Image Sensors
The following phenomena that may occur in images are specific to image
sensors. They do not indicate a malfunction.
BNC cable (supplied)
Outputs a composite video signal.
Note
Caution for other countries
White flecks
The output image is mainly used to adjust the view angle, and may not display
correctly, depending on the video format and image size settings.
The image may not display properly in the horizontal and/or vertical plane.
The image may be reduced.
The SNC-DH140/DH240/DH140T/DH240T operates on 24 V AC or 12 V DC.
The SNC-DH140/DH240/DH140T/DH240T automatically detects the power.
Use a power supply rated 24 V AC or 12 V DC which meets the requirements
for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and complies with Limited Power Source
according to IEC 60950-1.
Although the image sensors are produced with high-precision technologies, fine
white flecks may be generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays,
etc.
This is related to the principle of image sensors and is not a malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the following cases:
- when operating at a high environmental temperature
- when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)
Wiring cover
When you wire indoors, remove this cover and feed the cables through it.
