This Technical Manual is the guide to detailed technical information of the
camera and is written for experts.
For a quick guide on how to get started, read the AVT GigE Installation Guide
first.
Caution
Before operating any AVT camera, read the safety instructions
and ESD warnings in the AVT GigE Installation Guide.
Heat dissipation
Due to the small packaging and high speed of Mako cameras, take care to ensure
that the housing temperature of the camera does not exceed 45 °C. The follow-
ing are general guidelines for heat dissipation:
•
Mount the camera on a heat sink such as a metal bracket.
•
Lenses, when attached to a camera, act as a heat-sink and help reduce
housing temperature.
•
Ensure sufficient air flow. Use a fan if necessary.
Note
Housing temperature of the camera will increase during
power-up and initial operation. This temperature will
later stabilize.
