Environment and Lighting
Avoid strong ambient light sources
The imager used in this product is highly sensitive to ambient light. Do not operate this
device near windows or lighting fixtures that could influence measurement or data
acquisition. If the unit must be installed in an environment with high ambient light levels, a
lighting shield or similar device may need to be installed to prevent light from affecting
measurement.
Avoid installing sensors in hazardous environments
To ensure reliable operation and to prevent damage to sensors, avoid installing the sensor
in locations
●
that are humid, dusty, or poorly ventilated (for more information, see below);
●
with a high temperature, such as places exposed to direct sunlight (for more
information, see below);
●
where there are flammable or corrosive gasses;
●
where the unit may be directly subjected to harsh vibration or impact;
●
where water, oil, or chemicals may splash onto the unit;
●
where static electricity is easily generated.
Ensure that ambient operating and storage conditions are within specifications
The sensor's operating temperature is 0 to 40 °C.
For all sensors, the storage temperature is -30 to 70 °C.
For all sensors, relative humidity (non-condensing) is 25% to 85%.
The sensor must be heat-sunk through the frame it is mounted to. When a
sensor is properly heat sunk, the difference between ambient temperature and
the temperature reported in the sensor's health channel is less than 15 °C.
