Do not operate the camera beyond the environmental specifications
Due to the small packaging and high speed of Mako G cameras, ensure that
housing temperature of the camera does not exceed 45 °C. The following are
general guidelines for heat dissipation:
•
Mount the camera on a heat sink such as a metal bracket.
•
Lenses, when attached to a camera, act as a heat sink and help reduce housing
temperature.
•
Ensure sufficient air flow. Use a fan if necessary.
Avoid damage to the camera from high output current or voltage
•
Connecting the camera to a device exceeding the allowed maximum current
(20 mA per output) can damage the camera.
•
Providing Isolated Out Power > 30 V may damage the camera.
Do not disassemble the camera housing
This camera contains sensitive internal components. The warranty is void if the
camera is disassembled.
Camera housing temperature
Housing temperature of the camera increases during power-up and initial
operation. This temperature will later stabilize.
