6.2.3 Reduce surface temperature
With the following measures the surface temperature can be reduced:
► Mount the sensor on heat-conductive metal parts.
> A large-surface contact of the sensor with metal parts increases heat dissipation (e.g. aluminium).
► Use a heat conductor when mounting the sensor on metal parts.
> The heat-conductive effect is increased by means of the heat conductor. The heat conductor is
available as accessories (→ 6.4).
► Reduce obstructions around the device. Reduce the density of objects mounted near the device.
> Obstructions around the sensor and a high installation density may have a negative impact on
convection (air movement).
► Mount one or two heat sinks on the sensor.
> The heat sinks increase the surface of the sensor, reducing the surface temperature. The heat sinks
are available as accessories (→ 6.4).
► Reduce exposure time, frame rate or max. background distance.
> The operating mode used and the parameters can increase the surface temperature.
