Mounting bare board cameras
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 cameras 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
265.
• We recommend you to apply thread locking.
• Use a lens support for heavy lenses.
Heat dissipation and electromagnetic compatibility for bare board cameras
