10 PI-MTE System Manual Version 4.C
Inspect the supplied power cord. If it is not compatible with the power socket, replace the
cord with one that has suitable connectors on both ends.
Replacement power cords or power plugs must have the same polarity and power rating
as that of the original ones to avoid hazard due to electrical shock.
Precautions
To prevent permanently damaging the system, please observe the following precautions:
Do not mix and match ST-133 Controllers and cameras. The controller shipped
with your camera has been modified to operate with the camera included in the
PI-MTE system you ordered. The "System ID" number on the camera and the
controller serial labels must be the same.
Always switch off and unplug the ST-133 Controller before changing your
system configuration in any way.
The CCD array is very sensitive to static electricity. Touching the CCD can
destroy it. Operations requiring contact with the device can only be performed at
the factory.
If you are using high-voltage equipment (such as an arc lamp) with your camera
system, be sure to turn the controller power ON LAST and turn the controller
power OFF FIRST.
Use caution when triggering high-current switching devices (such as an arc
lamp) near your system. The CCD can be permanently damaged by transient
voltage spikes. If electrically noisy devices are present, an isolated, conditioned
power line or dedicated isolation transformer is highly recommended.
Never connect or disconnect any cable while the system is powered on.
Reconnecting a charged cable may damage the CCD.
Never prevent the free flow of air through the Model ST-133 by blocking the air
vents.
Never operate a liquid-assisted PI-MTE camera with coolant at a temperature
below that specified for it.
