Page 4: Handling And Safety Instructions
≤ 30 m. Only open the housing if advised by IMAGO! ➔ Warranty void if product is opened without authorization by IMAGO. Please take special note of the voltage range which may be applied to the device. Otherwise, permanent damage to the device may result! Due to the characteristics and physical principles of flash memories, SSDs have a finite lifetime depending on the number of write operations. -
Page 5: Introduction
The integrated Real-Time Communication Controller (RTCC) ensures proper timing for trigger signals, inde- pendently from the operating system. The IMAGO SDK provides a consistent C++ and Python programming interface for controlling the RTCC. Due to its small size, powered by 24 V and without fan, the Vision Cam can be mounted into nearly every... -

Page 31: Mechanical Mounting Recommendations
Stainless steel (A2, A4 or SUS) is less suitable. Insulating materials like plastic or wood are not recom- mended. Figure 9: Material choice for the Vision Cam XM2 holder For applications where insulating materials are unavoidable, additional cooling may be necessary, e.g. by using active cooling. -
Page 32: Geometry / Contact Surface
Figure 12: Material thickness influence heat dissipation, thicker holder extends heat dissipation path Shorter conduction path between the device and installation results in better heat dissipation. Thin materi- als transport heat much faster than thick ones, therefore a mounting fixture should be as thin as possible. IMAGO Technologies GmbH info@imago-technologies.com; www.imago-technologies.com... - Page 33 4. When a holder is mounted onto low-conducting surface, the setup benefits from longer heat path to the surface (thicker and longer holder). 5. Heat sinks or active cooling is not necessary for most applications if the camera mount is designed properly. IMAGO Technologies GmbH info@imago-technologies.com; www.imago-technologies.com...
