CHAPTER 2

When Your System Arrives

When your system arrives, check the shipping cartons for wrinkled or damaged corners, holes through the cardboard, or

other signs of rough handling or abuse. If you find any signs of damage, ask the delivery service to make a note on the

delivery receipt describing the damage.

Carefully remove the A-Series camera, cabling, and accessories from the shipping package. Place the equipment on a

table and inspect each item. Save all packing materials so you can repack the system in case you need to move or ship it.

Extreme temperature precautions: If your system arrives in very cold or hot weather, allow all the equipment to reach

room temperature before plugging it in. Exposing cold equipment to a warm room can cause condensation. If condensa-

tion forms, wait for the equipment to dry completely before applying power.

Before You Set Up the System

Before we shipped your A-Series camera, we did the following:

•Ran the setup program and specified a default software and hardware configuration. See page 2-4 for more infor-

mation about setting up the hardware. Refer to the Impact Reference Guide for software configuration information.

•Set a default Internet Protocol (IP) address and a default IP Mask value. You will need to change the IP address if

you have multiple devices on a network. (See Chapter 6 of this manual for more information.)

Preventive Maintenance

Warning: There are no user-serviceable parts inside the PPT device. To avoid electrical shock, never open the case.

Avertissement: Il n'y a aucune partie utilisateur-utile à l'intérieur du dispositif d'impact. Pour éviter le choc élec-

trique, n'ouvrez jamais la valise.

This section contains tips to keep your system trouble-free and operating smoothly.

•The PPT A-Series camera should be fastened to a stable, solid surface so the camera body is well supported.

•Keep the outside of the unit clean and free of oil and dust. You can clean the unit with a mild cleanser. Do not use

an abrasive cleaner and never immerse the unit in water.

•Verify that all cable connections are correct and tight. Secure the cables to prevent accidents or damage to the

device connectors.

•Disconnect camera cables when you move the camera. After the camera is moved, verify cable and power cord

connections.

•Regularly monitor the condition of all cables. Frayed or damaged cables should be repaired or replaced immedi-

ately.

Before You Call

If you have a problem with your system, you can contact your distributor or call PPT VISION. Before calling, however,

review the preceding maintenance checklist to ensure you are not overlooking an obvious reason for your problem.

The Troubleshooting Guide in Chapter 6 of this manual is designed to help with some hardware problems. By reviewing

that chapter before you call, you may be able to resolve some problems on your own. At the very least you can rule out

some possible causes of a hardware problem. Then when you do call, support can focus on the most likely suspects and

resolve your problem more quickly.

When you call for support, be prepared to answer to the following questions:

•What are the model and serial numbers of the PPT device you are using? To find them, look on the back of the unit.

•Have you added, replaced, or reconfigured your hardware recently? This includes any changes to the camera or

other components.

•What version of Impact Software Suite you are running? To find it, click the information icon on the title bar of

one of the Impact components.

•Have you updated or replaced any software on your client computer lately?

Basic Hardware Components

Camera Mounting

The PPT A-Series camera should be fastened to a stable, solid surface so the camera body is well supported.

Warning: There are no user-serviceable parts inside the PPT device. To avoid electrical shock, never open the case.

Avertissement: Il n'y a aucune partie utilisateur-utile à l'intérieur du dispositif d'impact. Pour éviter le choc élec-

trique, n'ouvrez jamais la valise.

This equipment is to be powered by a Listed power supply for the U.S. and Canada, or a power supply that meets the

requirements for use where either IEC60950 or EN60950 is applicable.

•To ensure safe operation, the system power must be properly grounded. If the unit is mounted within a rack, verify

that it is reliably connected to electrical ground. The ground terminal on the +24V power input must be connected

to the grounded chassis/enclosure of the power supply. This insures electromagnetic compliance and proper opera-

tion.
