Specifications, Requirements, and PrecautionsBasler pioneer 151.6 Environmental Requirements1.6.1 Temperature and HumidityHousing temperature during operation: 0 °C ... +50 °C (+32 °F ... +122 °F)Humidity during operation: 20 % ... 80 %, relative, non-condensingStorage temperature: -20 °C ... +80 °C (-4 °F ... +176 °F)Storage humidity: 20 % ... 80 %, relative, non-condensing1.6.2 Heat DissipationYou must provide sufficient heat dissipation to maintain the temperature of the camera housing at50 °C or less. Since each installation is unique, Basler does not supply a strictly required techniquefor proper heat dissipation. Instead, we provide the following general guidelines: In all cases, you should monitor the temperature of the camera housing and make sure that thetemperature does not exceed 50 °C. Keep in mind that the camera will gradually becomewarmer during the first 1.5 hours of operation. After 1.5 hours, the housing temperature shouldstabilize and no longer increase. If your camera is mounted on a substantial metal component in your system, this may providesufficient heat dissipation. The use of a fan to provide air flow over the camera is an extremely efficient method of heatdissipation. The use of a fan provides the best heat dissipation.
