If the
TemperatureControlTarget
of the camera
is
activated, the camera
heats the sensor and levels the temperature at the setpoint of +35 degrees
Celsius.
Operational statuses
explains the operational statuses that are indicated by the temperature
status LED on the camera back panel.
For TECless cameras, the LED will either remain off, not indicating any TEC status;
or it will turn red, indicating overheating.

Use an efficient heat removal device
If the camera has switched to
Alert
status, it is also recommended to provide a
more efficient heat sink for the camera housing before resuming operation.
However, additional heat dissipation arrangements are always advantageous.
