6. Installation
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 (foil) 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!
6.1 Environmental Requirements
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

6.2 Heat Transmission
Caution
Provide adequate dissipation of heat, to ensure that the temperature does
not exceed +50 °C (+122 °F) at temperature measurment point T.
The surface of the camera may be hot during operation and immediately
after use. Be careful when handling the camera and avoid contact over a
longer period.
As there are numerous possibilities for installation, Baumer do not speciy
a specic method for proper heat dissipation, but suggest the following prin-
ciples:
▪operate the cameras only in mounted condition
▪mounting in combination with forced convection may provide proper heat
dissipation

T
Measure Point Maximal Temperature
T 50°C (122°F)
For remote temperature monitoring of the camera a temperature sensor is integrated.
Notice
The temperature sensor is able to deliver values of 0°C (32°F) to +85°C (185°F)
Take care that the temperature of the camera does not exceed the specied case tem-
perature +50°C (+122°F).

The quantum efciency characteristics of Baumer LXG - cameras with Visual Applets are
displayed in the following graphs. The characteristic curves for the sensors do not take
the characteristics of lenses and light sources without lters into consideration, but are
measured with an AR coated cover glass.

8.1.2 Shutter
All cameras of the LXG - camera with Visual Applets series are equipped with a global
shutter.
Pixel
Active Area (Photodiode)
Storage Area
Microlens
Global shutter means that all pixels of the sensor are reset and afterwards exposed for a
specied interval (texposure).
For each pixel an adjacent storage circuit exists. Once the exposure time elapsed, the
information of a pixel is transferred immediately to its circuit and read out from there.
Due to the fact that photosensitive area gets "lost" by the implementation of the circuit
area, the pixels are equipped with microlenses, which focus the light on the pixel.
8.1.3 Digitization Taps
The CMOSIS sensors are read out with 16 channels in parallel.

8.2 Timings
Notice
Overlapped mode can be switched off with setting the readout mode to sequential shut-
ter instead of overlapped shutter.
The image acquisition consists of two separate, successively processed components.
Exposing the pixels on the photosensitive surface of the sensor is only the rst part of the
image acquisition. After completion of the rst step, the pixels are read out.
Thereby the exposure time (texposure) can be adjusted by the user, however, the time need-
ed for the readout (treadout) is given by the particular sensor and image format.
Baumer cameras can be operated with two modes, the Free Running Mode and the
Trigger Mode.
The cameras can be operated non-overlapped1) or overlapped. Depending on the mode
used, and the combination of exposure and readout time:
Non-overlapped Operation Overlapped Operation
Here the time intervals are long enough
to process exposure and readout succes-
sively.
In this operation the exposure of a frame
(n+1) takes place during the readout of
frame (n).

8.2.1 Free Running Mode
In the "Free Running" mode the camera records images permanently and sends them to
the PC. In order to achieve an optimal (with regard to the adjusted exposure time texposure
and image format) the camera is operated overlapped.
In case of exposure times equal to / less than the readout time (texposure ≤ treadout), the maxi-
mum frame rate is provided for the image format used. For longer exposure times the
frame rate of the camera is reduced.
