System Requirements
Environmental Requirements
Storage Temperature:

55°C
Operating Environment Temperature:
+5ºC to +30ºC; the environment temperature
at which system specifications can be guaranteed is +20ºC
Relative Humidity

50%:
non-condensing
Note:
For TE-cooled cameras, the cooling performance may degrade if the room
temperature is above +20°C.
Ventilation
Camera: Allow at least two (2) inches (50 mm) clearance around the vented covers. The
air needs to be less than 25ºC (above this temperature the CCD temperature can
begin to degrade). Where the camera is inside an enclosure, the enclosure needs
to have unrestricted flow to an open environment. The camera vents its heat out
the vents near the nose. The air intake is near the rear of the camera.
Power
Camera:
The ProEM+ camera receives its power from the supplied power supply,

Power Supply: The receptacle on the power supply should be compatible with the line-
