Sony FCB camera block
As a module of the Sony FCB-9500 series camera, the biggest difference between FCB-EV9500M and FCB-EW9500H, FCB-EV9500L lies in the video output pixels and output interfaces. FCB-EV9500M outputs 1080P full HD quality through the MIPI interface. What are the differences in its detailed specifications? Xuanzhan Technology, an official authorized dealer of Sony (China), will explain it all to you in one go, allowing you to enjoy it from beginning to end.

6 Handling Precautions
6.1 Operating Temperature
Make sure that the temperature inside the equipment does not exceed the recommended operating temperature
6.2 Durability of the Image Sensor
The on-chip color filter of the sensor may be decolorized if a large amount of light enters into the sensor. Such
conditions of use should be avoided as no product warranty is given for de-colorization. Be sure to take protective
measurements against continuous exposure to intense light.
6.3 ESD Protection
Anti-ESD measures should be taken for this camera module in the same manner as semiconductor devices.
(1) Either handle bare handed or use non-chargeable gloves, cloth or material. Also use conductive shoes.
(2) When handling directly use a wrist strap.
(3) Install grounded conductive mats on the floor and working table to prevent the generation of static electricity.
(4) Discharge using ionized air or other means is recommended when handling this camera module.
6.4 Storage and Operating Environment
Avoid storage or use under high temperature, high humidity and dusty conditions.
6.5 Mechanical Strength
This camera module is a precision optical part, so care should be taken not to apply excessive mechanical shock or
force.
6.6 Remodeling
Any remodeling or process at customers should be avoided. No product warranty will be granted if the product is once
remodeled or processed.
6.7 Flash memory
The data in the Flash Memory should not be modified or overwritten. Once they are modified or overwritten, no
product warranty may be able to be given.
6.8 White Pixels
The image-sensing device is vulnerable to natural radiation such as cosmic radiation that may cause incidental defect
resulting in white pixel. Although these white pixels are corrected during the final inspection and adjustment process of
the camera module production, a minor number of the product might be affected during the storage and shipment, and
“white pixel” may appear on incoming stage at customer production site. As the occurrence of white pixels is due to
natural behavior, it’s beyond supplier’s control.
6.9 Vertical line noise in low light condition
Rarely a vertical line noise may happen in the case when a gain sets up in the low light condition.
It’s not a malfunction but the characteristic of CMOS Image Sensor
6.10 Safety Standards
This product is manufactured as an unfinished product and no particular safety standard is applicable to this product
alone. Users should ensure that finished products using this camera module conform to applicable safety standards.
6.11 Location of Use and Storage
Do not shoot extremely bright objects (lights or sun) for long hours. In addition, please refrain from using or storing
at the following locations.
– Extremely hot or cold place (Operating temperature: -5˚C to +60˚C(23°F to 140°F))
– Near TV/radio station which produces intense radio emission
– The place where is affected by reflects of fluorescent light or light from windows
– Under unstable illumination (Flickers will be generated)
– Place with intense vibration
– Where it is subject to radiation from laser beams
6.12 When using in outdoor camera
– The outdoor camera should install inside direct lightning protection zone. Lightning rod is mandatory for camera
install outside direct lightning protection zone.
– Surging protector for power supply and signal port must install for outdoor camera. The distance between surging
protector and camera should not longer than 0.5m.
– Shielded cable for power supply and signal should be use for outdoor equipment. The cable should lay inside iron
conduit. The conduit should be well grounded.
– Cable should lay under the eaves for outdoor engineering, Aerial cable is prohibited.
– The design of ground for outdoor equipment and cable should combine with ground of building and conform to
national and industry standard.
– The ground resistance must not exceed 4Ω when use independent ground. The area of ground cable must exceed
25mm2
