Caution
!
The installer of the system is responsible for the safety of the system in
which the camera is integrated.

4.2 Ambient Temperature / Heat Transmission
Caution
Heat can damage the camera. Ambient temperature above 25 °C (77 °F)
requires heat dissipation measures. Provide adequate dissipation of heat,
to ensure that the temperatures does not exceed the specied values.
Baumer recommends the following methods for proper heat dissipation:
▪ Every form of convection around the device and mounting helps reduce
temperature. Prevent heat from becoming trapped!
▪ Mounting in combination with forced convection may provide proper heat
dissipation.
▪ Avoid mounting onto stainless steel. Stainless steel has a roughly 10-fold
lower thermal conductivity compared to aluminium.
▪ Do not install the device at the end of a prole; this will allow heat to
dissipate on both sides (higher temperature drops over a larger area)!
▪ Do not operate other devices in close proximity to the camera. Their
waste heat could additionally heat the camera.
▪ From an ambient temperature of +30 °C (86 °F) up to +40 °C (104 °F) the
camera requires forced air cooling (min. 0.9 m/s).
