Mechanical Considerations
8.1 Mechanical Interface
During storage and transport, the camera should be protected against vibration, shock,
moisture and dust. The original packaging protects the camera adequately from vibration and
shock during storage and transport. Please either retain this packaging for possible later use or
dispose of it according to local regulations.
8.1.1 Cameras with GigE Interface
Fig. 8.1 shows the mechanical drawing of the camera housing for the Photonfocus 1280/1600
CMOS cameras with Gigabit Ethernet interface (all values in mm).

For long life and high accuracy operation, we highly recommend to mount the
camera thermally coupled, so that the mounting acts as a heat sink. To verify
proper mounting, camera temperature can be monitored using the GeniCam
command DeviceTemperature under GEVDeviceControl.
