1. General Information
Thanks for purchasing a camera of the Baumer family. This User´s Guide describes how
to connect, set up and use the camera.
Read this manual carefully and observe the notes and safety instructions!
Support
In case of any questions please contact our Technical & Application Support Center.

Target group for this User´s Guide
This User's Guide is aimed at experienced users, which want to integrate camera(s) into
a vision system.
Intended Use
The camera is used to capture images that can be transferred to a PC.
It has a compact housing suitable for industrial use and are designed exclusively for in-
door use. The use in wet locations is permissible under consideration of the IP protection
class.
Notice
Use the camera only for its intended purpose!
For any use that is not described in the technical documentation poses dangers and will
void the warranty. The risk has to be borne solely by the unit´s owner.

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
Pictogram
Indicates a possibly dangerous situation. If the situation is not avoided, slight
or minor injury could result or the device may be damaged.
Danger!
Pictogram
Indicates an immediate imminent danger. If the danger is not avoided, the
consequences are death or very serious injury.
Disposal
Dispose of outdated products with electrical or electronic circuits, not in the
normal domestic waste, but rather according to your national law and the
directives 2002/96/EC and 2006/66/EG for recycling within the competent
collectors.
Through the proper disposal of obsolete equipment will help to save valu-
able resources and prevent possible adverse effects on human health and
the environment.
The return of the packaging to the material cycle helps conserve raw mate-
rials an reduces the production of waste. When no longer required, dispose
of the packaging materials in accordance with the local regulations in force.
Keep the original packaging during the warranty period in order to be able
to pack the device properly in the event of a warranty claim.
Warranty Notes
If it is obvious that the device is / was dismantled, reworked or repaired by other than
Baumer technicians, Baumer Optronic will not take any responsibility for the subsequent
performance and quality of the device!

2. General safety Instructions
Caution
Heat can damage the camera. Provide adequate dissipation of heat, to
ensure that the temperature does not exceed the value (see Heat Trans-
mission).
As there are numerous possibilities for installation, Baumer recommends
no specic method for proper heat dissipation, but suggest the following
principle:
▪operate the cameras only in mounted condition with free air circulation
▪mounting in combination with forced convection may provide proper heat
dissipation
see chapter „4.2 Ambient Temperature / Heat Transmission“ on page 25
Caution
Observe precautions for handling electrostatic sensitive devices!
