1.7 Environmental Requirements
1.7.1 Temperature and Humidity
Housing temperature during operation: 0 °C ... +50 °C (+32 °F ... +122 °F)
Humidity during operation: 20 % ... 80 %, relative, non-condensing
Storage temperature: -20 °C ... +80 °C (-4 °F ... +176 °F)
Storage humidity: 20 % ... 80 %, relative, non-condensing
1.7.2 Heat Dissipation
You must provide sufficient heat dissipation to maintain the temperature of the camera housing at
50 °C or less. Since each installation is unique, Basler does not supply a strictly required technique
for proper heat dissipation. Instead, we provide the following general guidelines:
 In all cases, you should monitor the temperature of the camera housing and make sure that the
temperature does not exceed 50 °C. Keep in mind that the camera will gradually become
warmer during the first hour of operation. After one hour, the housing temperature should
stabilize and no longer increase.
 If your camera is mounted on a substantial metal component in your system, this may provide
sufficient heat dissipation.
 The use of a fan to provide air flow over the camera is an extremely efficient method of heat
dissipation. The use of a fan provides the best heat dissipation.
