2 - 2 SE3300 Integration Guide
Thermal Considerations
The SE3300 engine includes several high-power components (e.g., sensor, LEDs) that dissipate heat during
operation. The engine temperature can rise above ambient temperature when the engine is running at 60
frames per second with full illumination and aiming on. These extreme conditions can increase sensor noise,
degrade image quality, and impact the engine’s longevity. Use care when designing the SE3300 for integration
into the target application.
Other recommendations to reduce engine power consumption and heat removal include but are not limited to:
•
Using reduced frame rates (e.g., 15 fps)
•
Reducing internal illumination intensity
•
Mounting on a solid metallic surface that facilitates heat removal
•
Selecting a housing design that allows for natural or forced convection
Note that running in continuous 60 fps with both aiming and illumination enabled full time is highly uncommon.
In typical decoding and image capture applications, any rise in engine temperature is minimal.
External Optics (Aiming LED Lens and Imaging Lens)
Do not subject external optical components on the SE3300 engine to any external force. Do not hold the
engine by an external optical component. This can place excessive stress in the mechanical joints that secure
the components, which can cause failures such as joint cracking or breaking.
Image and Document Capture
For specific information on image and document capture applications, contact a Motorola sales representative
for a technical document on image capture using the SE3300.
Regulatory Information
The SE3300 imager engine meets the accessible LED light limits for an IEC Class 1M LED product. Any
product containing the SE3300 can meet these same regulations. Contact a Motorola sales representative for
further details.
For devices intended for international sale, see the IEC/EN60825-1:2001 standard.
Complies with IEC 60825-1:2001 (for LED devices).
