CS-Mount models have the filter or protection
glass mounted directly in front of the sensor. Tak-
ing out the filter or protection glass is not possi-
ble at customer site.
Ask your dealer for a camera with the respective
filter already installed.
All models have the filter or protection glass
mounted directly in the CS-Mount adapter. (Stan-
dard delivery is a CS-Mount camera). Taking out
the filter or protection glass is not possible at cus-
tomer site.
Ask your dealer for a camera with the respective
filter already installed.
C-Mount models have the filter or protection glass
mounted in the CS- to C-Mount extension adapter.
Ask your dealer for an extension adapter with the
intended filter already mounted.
In order to get a C-Mount camera, screw the 5 mm
C-Mount adapter onto the CS-Mount camera.
Unscrew the 5 mm C-Mount adapter to get again a
CS-Mount camera.
Removing the C-Mount adapter opens the front
section of the camera. This greatly enhances the
risk for dust or particles to migrate on the sensor's
protection glass.
In order to remove the adapter:
Hold the camera so that the adapter points down-
wards while changing the adapter. Use optical
cleaning tissues for cleaning the sensor's protec-
tion glass if needed. Never use compressed air
for cleaning purposes.
Ask your dealer if you are not familiar with these
procedures.
