Caution

Heat can damage the camera. Heat must be dissipated adequately
to ensure that the temperature does not exceed the values in the
table below.

As there are numerous possibilities for installation, Baumer recom­mends no specic method for proper heat dissipation, but suggest
the following principles:

▪ operate the cameras only in mounted condition
▪ mounting in combination with forced convection may provide

proper heat dissipation
