We are not responsible for any lost time, profits or business, personal injury, property damage or similar loss, or any punitive, consequential or other direct, indirect or incidental damages.
Special products such as the Linespex Temperature Camera cannot be directed towards the sun, as this will damage the thermal sensor. It is also recommended to keep the temperature camera away from sitting in direct sunlight, if the camera enclosure and components itself get overheated, this can affect temperature reading accuracy.
The LineSpex warranty does not cover returns of products due to changes in budgetary availability after a purchase order has been fulfilled.
Our Recommendations
To protect your equipment from power related damages that could void your warranty, we recommend the use of a Double-Conversion Online Power Supply/Backup UPS to act as a filter for any surges cause by higher voltage equipment like machinery, generators, etc… This will help protect unexpected hard drive data loss and high voltage damage to both your recording and imaging equipment.
After connecting the BNC connectors, we strongly recommend using heat shrink wrap. This will seal the connections, keeping debris and moisture out, and preventing damage. The heat shrink wrap creates a tight barrier, improving the durability and reliability of the connections, even in tough environments. By using heat shrink wrap, you can extend the lifespan of your equipment and maintain the integrity of your camera systems.
In areas where the cameras might get wet, the BNC connector must be covered. We recommend using shrink wrap or an electrical enclosure to protect the connectors and prevent failure. This straightforward step is crucial for preserving the functionality and longevity of your BNC connections, especially in harsh manufacturing environments.
