Lenses
The MCS640 is a process camera that has a full array of optional lenses available to meet the needs of most
applications. However, because of the extreme and application-specific nature of the camera system, it is
necessary that the appropriate lens be fitted and calibrated at the LumaSense Factory according to the
application requirements.
Contact LumaSense for further information on lens considerations for the MCS640 thermal imaging system.
The table and picture shown in Section 2.5 shows the correlation between the measurement distance,
different optics, and the size of the measurement fields.
Caution:
Do not use thinners, benzene, or other chemicals to clean the lens as these will damage the
lens coating.

Environmental Conditions
The MCS640 has an internal temperature sensor in the detector and is designed to withstand ambient
temperatures from 0 °C to 50 °C without a temperature-controlled enclosure. The temperature reading can be
displayed and read by image processing software via the Gigabit Ethernet connection.
In addition to temperature requirements, other environmental factors must also be considered when installing
the MCS640 thermal imaging system. For example, if the camera is going to be mounted in a harsh
environment, certain precautions must be taken to secure and protect the system from its surroundings.
Contact LumaSense for further information on environmental considerations and protective enclosures for the
MCS640 thermal imaging system.
