General Requirements
ESD
ESD protection has been taken into account when designing the EM2096 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 EM2096 must be sufficiently enclosed to prevent dust particles from gathering on the 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 EM2096:
Operating Temperature -20
℃
to 50
℃
Storage Temperature -40
℃
to 70
℃
Humidity 5% ~ 95% (non-condensing)
Thermal Considerations
Electronic components in the EM2096 will generate heat during the course of their operation. Operating
the EM2096 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. Given that, the
following precautions should be taken into consideration when integrating the EM2096.

Reserve sufficient space for good air circulation in the design.

Avoid wrapping the EM2096 with thermal insulation materials such as rubber.
