Precautions
Controller Heat Sink Device!
The HG-TH Controller will operate satisfactorily in most environments (for example, on a
workbench or tabletop) with the heat sink and rubber feet mounted. The rubber feet and heat
sink may be removed if the Controller is mounted on a metal object that will act as a heat sink.
For more information, see HG-TH Camera Controller Dimensions and Mounting Holes, page 94.
Temperature
The HG-100K/LE will operate satisfactorily in an environment where the ambient temperature
is between –0° C and 45° C (32° F and 113° F). The HG-TH will operate in an environment where
the ambient temperature is between -0° C and 40° C (32° F and 104° F). The maximum humidity
is 80%, non-condensing, at 40° C.
Battery
The HG-100K/LE/TH battery pack contains small amounts of harmful substances. A battery pack
may explode if it is incorrectly replaced, exposed to fire or water, short-circuited or
disassembled. Do not put batteries in trash that is disposed of in landfills. Replace with
approved batteries only. When disposing of depleted batteries, comply with local ordinances
and your company’s safety standards.
Laser
Do not focus a laser beam on the sensor directly or by reflection, it will cause permanent
damage to the sensor. Any laser powerful enough to produce localized heating at the surface
of the sensor will cause damage, even if the camera power is off. Laser-damaged sensors are
NOT covered by the warranty.
Storage
Use the original shipping carton when transporting the HG-100K/LE/TH camera and Hub Sync
Unit (HSU). If you must ship your imager frequently, you may wish to purchase a carrying case.
Please contact your Redlake representative for details.
Signal Levels
Always check the voltage on the trigger line before connecting to the camera. Signal levels
above 5 volts at the Sync In and Trigger In TTL inputs can cause permanent damage to the
system. For additional information, see Configurable Connector, page 102 and Trigger Input
Connector, page 103.
Shock and Vibration
An operational Camera Controller, Camera Head and their interconnecting cables (Tether, STP,
and Gigabit Ethernet) have been tested to withstand a half sine pulse, 100G , 6 ms pulse width
and 1000 shocks in each of 3 axes. An operational Camera Controller and Camera Head, along
with their interconnecting cables (Tether, STP, and 1000Base-T Ethernet), have been tested to
withstand a sine sweep from 5 to 2500 Hz, at 1 octave per minute, at 5G rms, in each of three
axes.
