http://www.toshiba-teli.co.jp/en/Notes on using this product● Handle carefully
Do not drop the equipment or allow it to be subject to strong impact or vibration, as such action may cause
malfunctions. Further, do not damage the connection cable, since this may cause wire breakage.
● Environmental operating conditions
Do not use the product in locations where the ambient temperature or humidity exceeds the specifications.
Otherwise, image quality may be degraded or internal components may be adversely affected. In particular,
do not use the product in areas exposed to direct sunlight. Moreover, during shooting under high temperatures,vertical stripes or white spots (noise) may be produced, depending on the subject or camera conditions (suchas increased gain). However, such phenomena are not malfunctions.
● Check a combination with the lens
Depending on the lens and lighting you use, an image is reflected as a ghost in the imaging area. However,this is not because of a fault of the camera.
In addition, depending on the lens you use, the performance of the camera may not be brought out fully due
to deterioration in resolution and brightness in the peripheral area, aberration and others.
Be sure to check a combination with the camera by using the lens and lightning you actually use.
When installing a lens in the camera, make sure carefully that it is not tilted.
In addition, use a mounting screw free from defects and dirt. Otherwise, the camera may be unable to be
removed.
Install a next lens; its dimension of protrusion from bottom of the screw is equal to or less than 4.9 mm. If alens does not stand to this condition, it might not be installed to this camera.
CS-mount lensBottom ofthe screw

4.9mm or less

● Mounting to pedestal
When mounting this product to a pedestal, make sure carefully that lens doesn’t touch with the pedestal.

● Do not expose the camera's image-pickup-plane to sunlight or other intense light directly
Its inner CMOS sensor might be damaged.
● Occurrence of moiré
If you shoot thin stripe patterns, moiré patterns (interference fringes) may appear. This is not a malfunction.
● Occurrence of noise on the screen
If an intense magnetic or electromagnetic field is generated near the camera or connection cable, noise may
be generated on the screen. If this occurs, move the camera or the cable.
● Handling of the protective cap
If the camera is not in use, attach the lens cap to the camera to protect the image pickup surface.
● If the equipment is not to be used for a long duration
Turn off power to the camera for safety.
● Maintenance
Turn off power to the equipment and wipe it with a dry cloth.
If it becomes severely contaminated, gently wipe the affected areas with a soft cloth dampened with diluted
neutral detergent. Never use alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemicals because such chemicals may
damage or discolor the paint and indications.
If the image pickup surface becomes dusty, contaminated, or scratched, consult your sales representative.

[Phenomena specific to CMOS sensor]
Defective pixels

A CMOS image sensor is composed of photo sensor pixels in a square grid array. Due tothe characteristics of CMOS image sensors, over- or under-driving of the pixels results in
temporary white or black areas (as if these are noises) appearing on the screen. Thisphenomenon, which is not a defect is exacerbated under higher temperatures and longexposure time.
Image shading
The brightness of the upper part of the screen may be different from that of the lower part. Notethat this is a characteristic of a CMOS image sensor and is not a fault.

Notes on Connection:- Please confirm the power supply of the camera off when plugging in or pulling out the I/O Connector. It causes thebreakdown.
- If your camera is used in a system where its connectors are subjected to strong repetitive shocks, its connectors are
possible to break down. If you use your camera in such a situation, use an LAN cable with a lock screw, and secure
the camera cable as close as possible to the camera body for avoid physical shock to the camera connector.
- About Camera cable: In the case that electric-wire is long or thin, input voltage may not satisfy specifications of thepower supply voltage of the camera by voltage drop. Please confirm it before use.

● Anti-chattering process for Trigger input
In the characteristic of the open collector circuit, the signal is skewed. As a result, an unstable logic value
occurs. To filter out an unstable logic value, this camera has the anti-chattering circuit. Therefore, Random
Trigger Shutter operates only in the stable logic value.

BG series provide the scalable mode that can read out defined area of the screen.
In the scalable mode, camera reads out only necessary area at the normal speed and reads out other area
at high speed. The frame rate can be faster when the vertical height size is small. However, the frame ratecannot be faster only when the horizontal width size is small.
Only single rectangle is selectable. Concave or convex shape is not selectable.

ExposureControl
BG series is able to adjust exposure time by using electric shutter control.
This camera series provides two kinds of exposure time control mode.
- MANUAL mode

: The exposure time is determined by “ExposureTime” register setting value.

- AE mode: The exposure time is adjusted automatically by the photometry of the image.

By combining AE mode and AGC (ALC mode), it can adjust a wide range of brightness fluctuation of thesubject. About details of ALC mode, refer to "ALC Control" of "Functions".
When HardwareTrigger operation, you are able to control the exposure time by pulse width of external trigger
input signal.

Final convergence value = ReferenceLuminance x 2ExposureValue- Set a tolerance range of ALC operation
Set the following value to “ALCTolerance” register. Setting value is Float type.
Set convergence tolerance level for the ReferenceLuminance. When tolerance level is small, convergencelevel become more accurate, but it takes longer time to converge.

- Set a range of AE operation
Set the following value to “ALCExposureTimeMin”, “ALCExposureTimeMax” register. Setting value is Float
type. AE mode operates at a range of a register value.
You shall set “ExposureTimeMin” < “ExposureTimeMax”.
If you set “ExposureTimeMax” longer than a frame rate period, a frame rate may be slower than the registersetting.
The range of register setting depends on camera model, and camera operation mode.
