Your safety
This section informs about issues related to your personal safety. Descriptions
explain how to avoid hazards and operate Alvium USB cameras safely.
Handling lens mounts
The lens mount thread has sharp edges. Be careful these edges do not cut your
skin when mounting or unmounting lenses.
Housed cameras: handling hot cameras
If the mainboard temperature exceeds the specified maximum for more than two
seconds, the camera is powered off automatically. The current value for mainboard
temperature is output by
DeviceTemperature
. You can use this value to control
cooling by software, for example, to control a fan.
However, if you hold the camera in your hands during operation, your skin may get
hurt. If you touch the camera when it is heated up, we recommend wearing
protective gloves.
Providing optimum heat dissipation
Design bare board and open housing cameras into a heat dissipative housing with
a high thermal conductivity. For more information, see
on page 187. Keep the operating temperature in the specified range to
enable best image quality and to protect the camera from damage. Temperature
values apply to a relative humidity of 0 to 80 percent that is non-condensing.
