1 of 23 Important Note Regarding Grounding and ESD Protection:
We have observed some inconsistencies in 3rd party 1394 interface cards grounding strategy. Some 1394 cards do not ground the 1394 shield to chassis ground on the host computer, and some cards exhibit a “partial” ground. Some professional vision cards assume that the camera ground will be provided by the vision system or apparatus the camera is mounted to. The ISG 1394 cameras require proper grounding and assume the 1394 cable shield provides a path to ground for the camera chassis. If this connection is faulty, the camera may exhibit an increased susceptibility to electro-static discharge. Please insure that the card you are using provides a ground path via the 1394 cable shield, or add a ground wire or other means to properly ground the camera.
