IDS NXT vegas: Hardware description
3.2 Ambient conditions
Ambient temperature during operation
0 °C … +45 °C
+32 °F … +113 °F
Ambient temperature during storage
-20 °C .... +70 °C
-4 °F … +158 °F
Relative humidity*
20 % … < 100 %, non-condensing
Non-condensing means that the relative air humidity must be
below 100 %. Otherwise, moisture will form on the device
surface.
Vibration and shock resistance
Complies with DIN EN 60068-2-6 and DIN EN 60068-2-27
* Only if IP65 cables are used. Not used electrical connections must be closed with fixed covering caps.
3.3 Notes on ambient conditions
·
Avoid high air humidity levels and rapid temperature changes when using IDS NXT vision app-based
sensors.
·
Temperatures below +4 °C (+39 °F) combined with excessive relative air humidity levels can cause icing.
Provide sufficient heat dissipation so that the specified device temperature is not exceeded during operation.
In general, the following recommendations apply:
·
For a passive heat dissipation, mount the IDS NXT vision app-based sensor on a thermally-conductive
surface like a metal plate or a heat sink.
·
If necessary, provide an active cooling for example by means of a fan.
With increasing device temperatures, the image quality could be reduced due to thermal noise. It is
recommended to mount the IDS NXT vision app-based sensor to a heat-dissipating unit even if the device is
operated below the maximum specified temperature.
