Camera Mounting and Heat Sink Considerations

Up to tow op tional heat sinks can be installed on the Piranha4 cam era. As illu strated , they are id eally
p ositioned to allow close sp acing of the cam era s. These heat sinks are d esigned to p rovid e ad equ ate
convection cooling w hen not obstru cted by enclosu res or m ou nting assem blies.
Teled yne DALSA recognises that each cu stom er's ap p lication can be u niqu e. In consid eration, the P4
cam era heat sinks have been d esigned in su ch a w ay that they can be rep ositioned on the d ifferent faces
of the cam era or rem oved entirely, d ep end ing on the m ou nting configu ration and its heat sinking
p otential.
Rep ositioning or rem oval of the heat sinks m u st be p erform ed w ith care in ord er to avoid tem p eratu re
issu es. The cam era has the ability to m easu re its internal tem p eratu re. Use this featu re to record the
internal tem p eratu re of the cam era w hen it is m ou nted in you r system and op erating u nd er the w orst
case cond itions. The cam era w ill stop ou tp u tting d ata if its internal tem p eratu re reaches 80 °C.

Filters

CMOS cam eras are resp onsive to infrared (IR) w avelengths of light. Infrared light can be p roblem atic
w ith halogen light sou rces bu t is not a n issu e w ith w hite LED sou rces. When infrared light is p resent
w ith this cam era color fid elity is red u ced . To p revent infrared from d istorting the im ages you scan, u se
an IR cu t off filter su ch as a BG-38 on the lens.
