UV/IR cut filter
In addition, color cameras are equipped with an UV/IR cut filter. Light with
wavelengths between 370nm and 670nm will be transmitted. As CMOS sensors are
susceptible to UV and IR rays outside the visible spectrum, UV/IR filter avoid blurred
images and therefore improve color images.
3.2 Operating temperature
If the camera is mounted on mechanical parts, the heat generated during operation
will be dissipated by the optionally attached fan, the cooling fins at the rear of the
camera, and the mechanical parts.
NOTICE The camera body temperature must not exceed the values specified in the technical
data (see "Technical data" on page16).
In case of overheating, the camera will automatically be switched off and the com-
munication between camera and PC will be interrupted.
INFO Durability of the camera will be reduced when being operated in an environment
that is constantly exceeding the maximum permissible operating temperature. In this
case, take additional cooling measures as described below.
NOTICE The camera is not intended for use on an isolated mounting plate or in a closed
housing because the temperature of the camera will rise continuously.
3.3 Additional cooling
INFO If the camera is e.g. mounted on a sturdy aluminum structure, not only cooling is
ensured but also a stable optical path. In addition, vibrations will be minimized
within the entire system.
If the ambient temperature is constantly exceeding 40°C, additional cooling is recom-
mended. This can be achieved by
lAir- or water-cooling system
lAir-conditioned housings
