Manufacturer's Declaration and Guide – Electromagnetic Immunity
Overview: Guidelines for using the "CCD mono video camera" in specified electromagnetic environments are provided to ensure compliance with electromagnetic immunity standards.
Electromagnetic Immunity Specifications
  • Electrostatic Discharges (EN 61000-4-2): The camera withstands ±6 kV via contact and ±8 kV via air. Floors should be wood, concrete, or tiling, with relative humidity below 30% if synthetic materials are used.
  • Transient Voltage in Bursts (EN 61000-4-4): The camera handles ±2 kV for power supply lines and ±1 kV for input/output lines. Power supply quality should match typical hospital or commercial environments.
  • Voltage Surges (EN 61000-4-5): The camera endures differential mode ±1 kV and common mode ±2 kV. Power supply quality should be consistent with hospital or commercial standards.
  • Power Supply Voltage Variations (EN 61000-4-11): The camera tolerates dips and interruptions, with specific percentages of UT for varying durations. An uninterruptible power supply or battery is recommended for continuous operation during power interruptions.
  • Magnetic Field at Network Frequency: The camera should be used in environments with magnetic fields characteristic of typical hospital or commercial settings.
RF Immunity
  • Conducted RF (EN 61000-4-6) and Radiated RF (EN 61000-4-3): The camera is compliant with 3 Vrms from 150 kHz to 80 MHz and 3 V/m from 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz. Mobile and portable RF communication equipment should maintain a recommended separation distance based on the transmitter's frequency and power output.
Recommended Separation Distances
A table is provided for calculating the minimum separation distance between RF communication equipment and the camera, based on the transmitter's power output and frequency, to prevent electromagnetic interference.
Conclusion
The "CCD mono video camera" is designed to operate in controlled electromagnetic environments. Users must ensure compliance with specified conditions to maintain functionality and prevent interference.
