4) Dust and dirt protection

a) Operate in clean environments.

b) Do not either touch glass plates by hand or have any object come in contact with glass surfaces.

Should dirt stick to a glass surface blow it off with an air blower. (For dirt stuck through static

electricity, ionized air is recommended.)

c) Clean with a cotton bud and ethyl alcohol if the glass surface is grease stained. Be careful not to

scratch the glass.

d) Keep in case to protect from dust and dirt. To prevent dew condensation, preheat or precool when

moving to a room with great temperature differences.

5) Exposure to high temperature or humidity will affect the characteristics. Accordingly avoid storage or

usage in such conditions.

6) CCD image sensors are precise optical equipment that should not be subject to mechanical shocks.

7) Make sure the input pulse should not be -1 V or below.

8) Normal output signal is not obtained immediately after device switch on. Use the output signal added

22500 pulses or above to

φ CLK clock pulse.
