Connect components in the cooling area (blue area in Figure 54) to a heat sink,
following the instructions of the manufacturer of the heat sink and the thermal
conductive media. Ensure effective cooling when you are Mounting the G1 BL
interface unit on page 184.
Mounting Alvium G1 cameras
NOTICE
Damage to camera electronics
Heat sinks can cause short circuits if they are not electrically isolated.
Avoid electrical contact between electronic components by unsuitable heat sinks
and thermal conductive media.

Heat sink compound
Because electronic parts vary in height, we have updated our recommendation:
• Use flexible heat sink compound to compensate for potential gaps between
the electronic parts to be cooled and heat sinks.
• Consider 1 mm to cover for worst case scenarios.
• For details, see the Alvium STEP files at
www.alliedvision.com/en/support/alvium-step-file-downloads.
CAUTION
Injury by falling camera (parts) or lenses
A falling camera or lens can cause injury.
• Ensure proper mounting of cameras and lenses, especially for dynamic
applications.
• Mount cameras as described in the instructions.
• Always make sure the mounting threads are intact.
• Fasten screws with maximum torque, using the entire thread engagement. For
less thread engagement, see Adapting maximum torque values on page 181.
• We recommend you to apply thread locking.
• Use a lens support for heavy lenses.
• Use an FPC cable support for G1 BL cameras, especially for dynamic
applications.
