Heat Dissipation - Basler acA2040-55 User Manual

Specifications, Requirements, and Precautions

1.11.2 Heat Dissipation

You must provide sufficient heat dissipation to maintain the camera housing temperature at the
maximum value or below as specified for the camera during operation (see above). Since each
installation is unique, we only provide the following general guidelines:
Make sure a lens is mounted on the camera.

In all cases, you should monitor the temperature of the camera housing and ensure that the

temperature does not exceed the maximum specified value for the housing temperature during
operation. 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.
Provide sufficient heat dissipation by e.g. mounting the camera on a substantial, thermally

conductive component that can act as a heat sink and by using a fan to provide an air flow over
the camera.
To ensure good image quality, we recommend not to operate the camera at
elevated temperatures.
