3.2
Operating temperature
Despite its high performance, the fanless CL camera is compact and works
silently. If the camera is mounted on mechanical parts, the heat generated dur-
ing operation is dissipated via the mechanical parts.
NOTE
To prevent camera damage, the camera’s body temperature must not
exceed 50°C.
NOTE
The camera is not intended for use on an isolated mounting plate or in a
closed housing where the temperature of the camera cannot dissipate.
3.3
Additional cooling
INFO
If the camera is e.g. mounted on a sturdy aluminum structure, not only cooling is
ensured but also a stable optical path. In addition, vibrations will be minimized
within the entire system.
If the ambient temperature is constantly exceeding 40 °C, additional cooling is
recommended. This can be achieved by
n
Air- or water-cooling system
n
Air-conditioned housings
