    Heat accumulation in the device Heat can damage the device. Provide adequate dissipation of heat. As there are numerous pos- sibilities for installation, Baumer recommends no specific method for proper heat dissipation, but suggest the following principle: a) Every form of convection around the device and mounting helps reduce temperature. Pre- vent heat from becoming trapped! b) Mounting in combination with forced convection may provide proper heat dissipation.

This is to feed compressed air or tempering fluid for camera temperature control. For compressed air / tempering fluid connection (inlet (1) / outlet (2)) use male threaded M3 push-in fittings and plastic hoses, e.g.

  • Page 34: Lens Mount

    Installation Baumer Lens mount Avoid contamination of the sensor and the lens by dust and airborne particles when mounting the lens to the device! Therefore the following points are very important: Install the camera in an environment that is as dust free as possible! Keep the lens mount covered if no lens is attached Hold the camera downwards with unprotected sensor.
