Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V4.2.0
Your safety
This section informs about issues related to your personal safety. Descriptions
explain how to avoid hazards and operate Goldeye G/CL cameras safely.
Handling lens mounts
The lens mount thread has sharp edges. Be careful these edges do not cut your
skin when mounting or unmounting lenses.
Handling hot cameras
If you hold the camera in your hands during operation, your skin may get hurt. If
you touch the camera when it is heated up, we recommend wearing protective
gloves.
Providing optimum heat dissipation
Operation outside the allowed temperature range can damage the camera. For
best performance and to protect the camera from damage, keep the housing
temperature in the specified operating temperature range.
Observe the following:
•
To avoid camera crashes, operate the camera with a lens or lens adapter
attached only.
•
For maximum heat dissipation, affix the camera to a heat sink, using the
mounting holes.
•
Use mounting base and heat sink with large surface areas.
•
Use a mounting base with a high thermal conductivity.
•
Reduce ambient temperature. For example, in an outdoor application with
direct sunlight, provide shading by an enclosure.
•
Provide ventilation or other active cooling of camera, mounting base, and heat
sink.
