Classicationofthesafetyinstructions
In the User´s Guide, the safety instructions are classied as follows:
Notice
Gives helpful notes on operation or other general recommendations.
Caution
P i ctogram
Indicates a possibly dangerous situation. If the situation is not avoided, slight
or minor injury could result or the device may be damaged.

General safety instructions2.
Caution
Heat can damage the camera. Provide adequate dissipation of heat, to
ensure that the temperatures does not exceed the value (see Heat Trans-
mission).
As there are numerous possibilities for installation, Baumer does not
specify a specic method for proper heat dissipation.
Intended Use3.
The camera is used to capture images that can be transferred over a GigE interface to a
PC.

Installation6.
Lens mounting
Notice
Avoid contamination of the sensor and the lens by dust and airborne particles when
mounting the support or 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 dust cover (bag) on camera as long as possible!▪
Hold the print with the sensor downwards with unprotected sensor.▪
Avoid contact with any optical surface of the camera!▪
Environmental Requirements6.1
Temperature
Storage temperature -10°C ... +70°C ( +14°F ... +158°F)
Operating temperature* see Heat Transmission
* If the environmental temperature exceeds the values listed in the table below, the cam-
era must be cooled. (see Heat Transmission)
Humidity
Storage and Operating Humidity 10% ... 90%
Non-condensing
Heat Transmission6.2
Caution
Heat can damage the camera. Provide adequate dissipation of heat, to
ensure that the temperature does not exceed 50°C (122°F).
As there are numerous possibilities for installation, Baumer does not
specify a specic method for proper heat dissipation.
