1. General Information Thanks for purchasing a product of the Baumer family. This user´s guide explains how to install cameras in a enclosure to protect your vision system and achieve IP 69 K protec- tion. Read this manual carefully and observe the notes and safety instructions! Support In case of any questions please contact our Technical &...

Warranty Notes If it is obvious that the device is / was reworked or repaired by other than Baumer techni- cians, Baumer Optronic will not take any responsibility for the subsequent performance...
Protection Caution Inappropriate handling of the enclosure or any parts thereof may lead to a leaky enclosure and may cause damage to the enclosed camera. Baumer can take no liability for damages caused by improper handling. Caution The enclosures have been designed for a typical machine vision applica- tion where the camera set-up is done once in order to build an application.

Notice The housing improves the temperature management for the camera in use, the environ- mental temperature may be 5 K higher than in applications without housing.
3.2.2 Clamp elements assembly The mounting with clamp elements ensures flexible camera positioning and good heat dissipation. Follow these steps for a vibration proof camera positioning. Remove the blue cover foil from the double sided adhesive heat conductive tape. Place the clamp element with the adhesive tape on the top side of the camera.
Page 15
Place the quick-lock element loose onto the opposite side of the camera body. No adhesive tape is required here, as the clamp element block already determines the camera orientation. The dot mark on the two eccen- tric screws should face the cam- era, prior to insertion of this as- sembly into the enclosure profile (otherwise the camera assembly...
Page 16
In order to secure the camera assembly in position, turn the ec- centric screw at the front clock- wise or anti-clock-wise! The clamp elements are fully ex- tended, if the dot mark points to the enclosure wall. However, depending on the cam- era tolerances, it might not be re- quired to fully extend the clamp elements –...
3.2.3 Cable gland Notice The cable gland maintains the high IP68 rating if done carefully! Position the holes evenly across the seal insert with at least 2 mm distance to the rim of the cable gland and 3 mm distance be- at least at least at least...
Page 18
Feed the cables through the nut and the cable gland. After cable and camera position- ing insert the cables from the side into the seal insert. These special pliers are helpful – alternatively use a screwdriver to open up the cut in the cable gland seal.
3.2.4 Rear wall assembly The rear wall preparation is done ex works from Baumer. However – please note these steps in case the rear wall has been dismantled. Housing Base Set B with bayonet rear wall Place the rear wall on the back of the housing.
Page 20
Turn the rear wall clockwise one eighth turn (45°) until it stops. Notice If no stop is noticeable, then you must tighten the screws a little. Tighten the screws crosswise only so far that the light blue cov- er seal is flush with the surface of the housing.

4. IP rating and chemical resistance Caution As a large number of chemical substances are used, we ask for your under- standing that we can not test them all. The chemical substances must be tested on an discreet area of the device under application conditions to evaluate if they are suitable.
4.2 Chemical resistance of sealing materials 4.2.1 EPDM, TPE This table hase been compiled from several sources, the classification may therefore vary and is a general guideline only! 1 = very good chemical resistance; 2 = good resistance; 3 - 4 = limited resistance; 5 - 6 not resistant EPDM temperature (min.;...

5. Cleaning 5.1 Cleaning and care of acrylic glass (Tube M60 / M62) Acrylic glass must not come into contact with organic solvents such as diluents, alcohols, fuels, etc. Also normal window cleaners usually contain alcohol. Dilution fumes in workshops are also harmful. These substances react with acrylic glass and cause the material to become brittle and build up internal stresses.
