1.1 Conformity
1 Introduction
1 Introduction | 2
ank you for purchasing a SVS-VISTEK camera. is camera is a
high-end electronic imaging device designed for use in Machine Vision
applications. It can be used in stationary and mobile applications.
Failure to operate the camera other than its intended use and making
modications to the camera and its components can lead to personal
injury or property damage for which the manufacturer assumes no
liability. Ensure that the intended use and safe operation of the camera
are not interfered with, even by unforeseen external forces. Intended
use and safe operation of the camera is described in this operation manual.
Operation of the camera has to be carried out only by trained personnel
who are knowledgable of the rules for prevention of accidents and
other general security measures for electrical devices. You can protect
yourself from injury and prevent damage to the camera and other
components through operation in the intended use and following the
safety rules.
Avoid injury or damage!
Read and understand Operating Manual before
operating this camera.
MANDATORY ACTION!
If any sign of overheating is observed, discontinue
the use immediately. In the event that smoke, smell,
or any other sign of overheating is observed, turn
the power switch of the system OFF immediately and
remove the power cable(s) from the system connec-
tors, like computer, camera, lightning. Do NOT try to
continue to use the system. To do so in spite of clear
signs of malfunction invites a fire, an electric shock
hazard, or serious damage to the system compo-
nents. In such case, contact the dealer/distributor
from which you purchased the system for repair
service.
1.2 Intended Use
MANDATORY ACTION!
If any sign of malfuctioning is observed, discontinue
the use immediately. Do NOT try to use the system
when it is malfunctioning. (Ex. No images on the
monitor) In the event of malfunction, turn the power
switch of the system OFF immediately and remove
the system power cables from the system components
connectors. In such case, contact the dealer/distribu-
tor from which you purchased the system for repair
service.
1 Introduction | 3
MANDATORY ACTION!
If any foreign object gets into the system components, dis-
continue the use immediately. Do NOT try to continue to
use the system. To do so invites a fire or an electric shock
hazard. In that case, turn the power switch of the system
components OFF immediately and remove the system
power cables from the system components connectors.
PROHIBITION!
Do NOT disassemble the system components.
Do NOT attempt to pull apart; repair, or modify the
system components on your own. To do so leads to a
fire or an electric shock accident. Contact the dealer/
distributor from which you purchased the camera for
repair/modifacation.
PROHIBITION!
Do NOT supply any power other than specified. The
system components are designed to work only under
specified voltage. Do NOT attempt to drive the system
components with the power other than specified. It
might invite a fire or a electric shock hazard.
PROHIBITION!
Avoid electromagnetic fields. There may be cases where
noise (vertical, horizontal, or oblique stripes) may appear
on the video output or other malfunctions may appear. Take
preventive measures on the electromagnetic-wave genera-
ting source so that the system components do not receive
the interference by the electromagnetic- wave. Take extra
precautions against electromagneticwave-interference if the
system components are used with a servomotor, inverter, or
other electromagnetic-wave- generating equipment.
PROHIBITION!
Do NOT use the system components in a high-humidity
environment. Do NOT place the system components near
a humidifier, or in other high-humidity environments. To
do so may cause a fire or an electric shock accident.
PROHIBITION!
Avoid strong shock against the system components. If
your system components are used in the system where
the connectors are subjected to strong repetitive shocks,
then the connectors may breakdown. If you intend to use
your system components in such a situation, make sure to
use an optional-connector-fixing-hardware to connect the
connector-plug to the system components body.
1.3 Safety first
AVOID LASER BEAMS ON SENSOR
Do not expose the sensor to direct laser beams – this
could damage the sensor.
1 Introduction | 4
PROHIBITION!
Do NOT expose the camera to sunlight or other
intense light directly. Its inner CCD (charge-coupled
device) might be damaged.
MANDATORY ACTION!
This camera is designed and guaranteed to work under
the temperature range of -10°C (+14°F)through +45°C
(+113°F). Only use the camera between these limits.
Usage outside of these limits will void the warranty.
MANDATORY ACTION!
When the system components are not in use, put a lens
or a lens-cap onto the lens mount so that the image pick-
up plane of CCD is protected from dust or other foreign
objects. If the glass plane of the CCD gets dirty, then
cleaning is recommended to be done only by specially
trained personel. If you are not confident of having this
ability, then contact the dealer/distributor from which
you obtained the camera.
PROHIBITION!
Do NOT stress any cable. It may damage the jacket
of the cable or break the wires inside.
MANDATORY ACTION!
Avoid condensation. When the system components are
moved from a cold place to a significantly warmer one,
we recommend placing the system in airtight plastic
bags. This allows the condensation to form on the bag,
thus protecting the camera as much as possible from con-
densation. Should the camera become wet, then dry the
camera thoroughly before connecting power and use.
PROHIBITION!
Do NOT short circuit any input or output signals. Other-
wise a malfunction or permanent damage may occur.
CAUTION!
Before mounting a lens, take extra care to ensure
that the lens is not tilted and that the threads of the
lens are not damaged. Also ensure that no dirt or
other foreign objects fall inside the lens mount or
are on the threads of lens or lens mount. Improper
mounting may cause the parts to become locked
together or contaminate the CCD cover glass.

sibility and held harmless for damages or
losses incurred by user in the following cases.
In case damages or losses are caused by fire,
earthquake, or other acts of Gods, the act by
third party, misuse by the user deliberately
or erroneously, use under extreme operating
conditions.
• In case indirect, additional, consequential
damages (loss of expected interest, suspen-
sion of business activities) are incurred as
results of malfunction or non-function of the
equipment, we shall be exempted from assu-
ming responsibility for such damages.

NOTICE
To avoid vignetting an optional F-Mount Adapter is
availabe for the evo8050.
NOTICE
Note: Using the available M42-to-C-Mount adapter on
cameras with sensors having a format larger than 1”
may produce vignetting - a darkening of the corners
and edges in the field of view caused by the geometry
of the optics which are used in C-Mount lenses. It is
recommended to use high-quality optical solutions
designed for the M42 x 1mm lens-mounting specification.
Please contact SVS-VISTEK or your local dealer for a
lens recommendation.
If you must use the M42-to-C-Mount adapter with a
large format sensor, then do not use a lens designed for
less than 1” sensors. Using a lens with a focal length
greater than 50 mm may also help reduce the vignetting
effect.
(Lens solutions for large format CCDs are e.g. available
from SCHNEIDER, QUIOPTIQ, ZEISS or SILL.)
