5.1 Ambient conditions
The temperature values given below refer to the outer device temperature of the camera housing. The
temperature inside of the camera housing is generally higher than the outer temperature and may be up to
70 °C (158 °F).
Device temperature during operation
0 °C … 55 °C
32 °F … 131 °F
Device temperature during storage
-20 °C … 60 °C
-4 °F … 140 °F
Humidity
20 % … 80 %, relative, non-condensing
Non-condensing means that the relative air humidity must be below 100 %. Otherwise, moisture will form on
the camera surface. If, for example, air has a relative humidity of 40 % at 35 °C (95 °F), the relative humidity
will increase to over 100 % if the air cools down to 19.5 °C (67 °F); condensation begins to form.
CAUTION! As the camera housing may get hot depending on the operating conditions there
may be risk of burns. Provide sufficient heat dissipation so that the housing temperature does
not exceed 55 °C (131 °F).
Notes on ambient conditions
· Avoid high air humidity levels and rapid temperature changes when using IDS cameras.
· Temperatures below +4 °C (39 °F) combined with excessive relative air humidity levels can cause icing.
Provide sufficient heat dissipation so that the specified device temperature is not exceeded during operation.
In general, the following recommendations apply:
· For a passive heat dissipation, mount the camera on a thermally-conductive surface like a metal plate or a
heat sink.
· If necessary, provide an active cooling for example by means of a fan.
With increasing device temperatures, the image quality could be reduced due to thermal noise. It is
recommended to mount the camera to a heat-dissipating unit even if the camera is operated below the
maximum specified temperature.

· Immersion depth for lenses
· Position accuracy of the sensor
7.1 Immersion depth for lenses
Some C-mount lenses reach deep into the camera flange. This may cause the lens to push against the back
of the filter glass inside the camera or even make it impossible to screw in the lens.
The table below indicates the maximum possible immersion depth. The actual immersion depth of a lens is
given in the relevant data sheet. As lens parts with a small diameter are allowed to reach deeper into the
camera flange, the immersion depths are specified based on the diameter (named as A, B, and C in the
image below).
Beside the immersion depth also the back focal length has to be considered, that means the distance between
the last lens and the sensor (named "bfl" in the image below). The back focal length can be calculated for C-
mount with the following formula:
x17.526bfl 
xstands for the maximumimmersion depth (see table below).

· Filter types
· Cleaning the filter glasses
10.1 Filter types
Every camera has a filter glass in the front flange to prevent the entry of dust particles. Color cameras by
default use an IR cut filter, which is required to ensure correct color rendering. The default filter glass in
monochrome cameras has no filter effect. Every camera model is available with different filter variants such as
daylight cut filters (type DL). The filter type is given at the end of the model name.
