NOTICE
Heat dissipation
Operation outside the allowed temperature range can damage the camera. For
best performance and to protect the camera from damage, keep the housing
temperature between the specified operating temperature.
Observe the following:
•
Keep the camera passive cooling fins free of dust and other contaminants.
•
For maximum heat dissipation, affix the camera to a heat sink, using the
mounting threads.
- Use mounting base and heat sink with large surface areas.
- Use a mounting base with a high thermal conductivity.
•
Reduce ambient temperature. For example, in an outdoor application with
direct sunlight, provide shading by an enclosure.
•
Provide ventilation or other active cooling of camera, mounting base, and heat
sink.
NOTICE
Image sensor
Image sensors are sensitive to excessive radiation: focused sunlight, lasers, and
X-rays can damage the sensor. Monochrome and NIR models are not fitted with
filter or protection glass. Consider, when removing the lens or dust cap on these
cameras, the sensor is not protected against dirt or scratches.
NOTICE
Cleaning optical components
This product can be damaged by some volatile cleaning agents. Avoid cleaning the
