Chapter 2 Installation
General Requirements
ESD
ESD protection has been taken into account when designing the EM3080-W and the engine is shipped in
ESD safe packaging. Always exercise care when handling the engine outside its package. Be sure
grounding wrist straps and properly grounded work areas are used.
Dust and Dirt
The EM3080-W must be sufficiently enclosed to prevent dust particles from gathering on the imager, lens
and circuit board. Dust and other external contaminants will eventually degrade the engine
’s performance.
Ambient Environment
The following environmental requirements should be met to ensure good performance of the EM3080-W:
Operating Temperature
-20
℃
to 60
℃
Storage Temperature
-40
℃
to 70
℃
Humidity
5% ~ 95% (non-condensing)
Thermal Considerations
Electronic components in the EM3080-W will generate heat during the course of their operation. Operating
the EM3080-W in continuous mode for an extended period may cause temperatures to rise on CIS and
decoder chip. Overheating can degrade image quality and affect scanning performance. When the engine
is used in high temperature environments, appropriate precautions should be taken in the integration
design.
