THIS EVALUATION KIT SHOULD ONLY BE INSTALLED AND USED BY AUTHORIZED AND FULLY TRAINED PEOPLE. ALL IN-

STRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL AND IN THE RELATED DOCUMENTS HAVE TO BE FOLLOWED AND FULLY COMPLIED WITH. IN

ADDITION, THE INSTALLER AND USER IS REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH ALL LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS. SHOULD ANY

OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS NOT BE CAREFULLY FOLLOWED, SERIOUSLY INJURY MAY OCCUR. THE INSTALLER AND USER IS

FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFE USE AND OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM. IT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE IN -

STALLER AND THE USER TO ENSURE THAT THIS PRODUCT IS USED ACCORDING TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES AND STAN-

DARDS IN ORDER TO ENSURE SAFE OPERATION OF THE WHOLE APPLICATION.

ANY ALTERATION TO THE DEVICES BY THE BUYER, INSTALLER OR USER MAY RESULT IN UNSAFE OPERATING CONDITIONS.

ESPROS photo ics AG IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LIABILITY OR WARRANTY CLAIM WHICH RESULTS FROM SUCH MANIP-

ULATION.

THIS DEVICES MAY NOT BE USED FOR APPLICATIONS OTHER THAN THE EVALUATION OF THE DESIGNATED DEVICES.

THIS DEVICES MAY NOT BE USED IN SAFETY APPLICATIONS, EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES, OR IN A RADIOACTIVE ENVIRON-

MENT.

 IMPO TANT INFO MATION 

THIS CAME A COMES WITH ITS OWN CALIB ATED FI MWA E.

For proper operatio of the Evaluatio Kit upload the correct firmware from the CD ROM to the evaluatio board.

Do this each time, whe you are cha gi g the camera module.

User i terface:

Use the dialog “Firmware setti gs” Upload the bi ary file “epc60x_fw_xxx_se sor”

ALSO, MAKE SU E THAT YOU ALWAYS USE THE LATEST SOFTWA E VE SION ON YOU MAC / PC.

USE THE APP OP IATE INSTALLE THAT IS ALSO ON THE CD.

 IMPO TANT INFO MATION 

THIS CAME A COMES WITH FOCUSED OPTICS.

Do ot touch the le s. Do ot twist or tur the le s. Otherwise a degradatio of the measureme t occurs.
