Dust Protection—Cased Models
The camera housing is designed to prevent dust from falling directly onto the sensor's protective glass surface. This is achieved by placing a protective sticker (S-mount models); or a lens mount cover (CS-mount mono models); or an IR cut-off filter (CS-mount color models) that sits above the surface of the sensor's glass.
Warning! Cameras are sealed when they are shipped. To avoid contamination, seals should not be broken until cameras are ready for assembly on site.
Warning! Use caution when removing the IR filter. Damage to any component of the optical path voids the Hardware Warranty. Removing the IR filter alters the optical path of the camera, and may result in problems obtaining proper focus with your lens.
