Temperature control
109 Goldeye G Technical Manual V 2.0.0
The temperature setpoints
The Goldeye temperature control allows to switch between setpoints
automatically or manually. If set to Auto, it switches up or down to the next
setpoint, based on the conditions inside the camera.
• Switch to a higher setpoint:
If the Goldeye temperature control is no longer able to keep the sensor tem ‐
perature at the current setpoint, the camera switches up to the next setpoint.
An appropriate set of non ‐ uniformity correction data is applied.
• Switch to the lower setpoint:
The camera switches down by one setpoint if the camera housing temperature
allows to stabilize the sensor temperature at the lower point.
• Switch the sensor off:
If the internal camera temperature exceeds a preset alert limit, the camera‘s
overheat protection circuit powers down the sensor and Alert state is indicated
by red color of the temperature status LED.
To control and regulate the internal camera temperature, several temperature
sensors are placed within the camera.
Temperature setpoint settling time
If the setpoint of the sensor temperature controller is changed, it takes approx.
half a minute until the desired temperature is reached. During this period, the
image quality may be reduced to some degree.
Only the sensor board is switched off
If the internal temperature exceeds the Alert limit, only the sensor board is shut
down. The cameras power supply is not switched off.
