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 % … 100 %, relative, non-condensing * Only if GigE uEye FA lens tube and IP65/67 cables are used 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. Vibration and shock resistance Vibration and shock resistance of the cameras were tested as specified in EN 60068-2-6 and EN 60068-2-27.

7 Optical specifications · 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: x 17.526 bfl   x stands for the maximum immersion depth (see table below). Fig. 2: Camera front (sectional view) The data given in the table include the following tolerances as a safety clearance: · Immersion depth: 0.2 mm · Diameter: 0.2 mm Type Thread depth (min.) for diameter at lens end [mm] Ø A resulting maximum immersion depth [mm] minimum required back focal length [mm] C-mount 5 mm 24.0 11.0 6.5
