General Requirements
ESD Precautions
ESD has been taken into consideration during the design of EM2037 and the engine is shipped in ESD
safe packaging. Use care when handling the engine outside its package. Be sure grounding wrist straps
and properly grounded work areas are used.
Dust and Dirt
EM2037must be sufficiently enclosed to prevent dust particles from gathering on the imager and lens.
Dust and other external contaminants will eventually degrade the engine`s performance.
Environment
Good operation of EM2037 requires environment to meet below standards:
Working Temperature
-20°C to 55°C
Storage Temperature
-40°C to 80°C
Humidity
5% ~95% (non-condensing)
Thermal Consideration
Care must be taken when designing the engine into any system. High-power components (like CPU, CIS,
LEDs and PMIC) on EM2037 may cause internal heating in high duty cycle scanning applications. In a
continuous scanning or high use circumstances, the engine sectional temperature can rise to 30°C.
When the ambient temperature is high, the image noise level may be increased and the image quality
may be degraded.
Methods below are suggested so as to reduce power consumption and heating:
Avoid long term use of LEDs in continuous mode
Reserve space for air convection during design.
Avoid wrapping EM2037 with heat insulation materials like rubber.
Installation Orientation
Figure 2-1 illustrates the proper position and front view for installation of EM2037.
