Heat dissipation with Alvium G1 BL
In addition to the instructions in Providing optimum heat dissipation on page 41,
observe the following:
Design Alvium G1 BL cameras into a heat dissipative housing with a high thermal
conductivity. See also Cooling area for the Alvium G1 BL sensor unit on page 178
and Mounting the G1 BL interface unit on page 184.
Keep the operating temperature in the specified range to enable best image
quality and to protect the camera from damage. Temperature values apply to a
relative humidity of 0 to 80 percent that is non-condensing.
Observe that not only the sensor unit must be cooled, but also the interface unit as
shown in Figure 2.
