28 Piranha4 2K and 4K Camera Color User's Manual03-032-20180-06 Teledyne DALSAAC-MS-00108 Heat sink for 2k and 4k modelsCamera mounting and heat sink considerationsUp to two optional heat sinks can be installed on the camera. As illustrated, they are ideally positioned toallow close spacing of the cameras. These heat sinks are designed to provide adequate convection coolingwhen not obstructed by enclosures or mounting assemblies.Teledyne DALSA recognises that each customer’s application can be unique. In consideration, the P4camera heat sinks have been designed in such a way that they can be repositioned on the different facesof the camera or removed entirely, depending on the mounting configuration and its heat sinkingpotential.Repositioning or removal of the heat sinks must be performed with care in order to avoid temperatureissues. The camera has the ability to measure its internal temperature. Use this feature to record theinternal temperature of the camera when it is mounted in your system and operating under the worstcase conditions. The camera will stop outputting data if its internal temperature reaches 80 °C.FiltersCMOS cameras are responsive to infrared (IR) wavelengths of light. Infrared light can be problematicwith halogen light sources but is not an issue with white LED sources. When infrared light is presentwith this camera color fidelity is reduced. To prevent infrared from distorting the images you scan, usean IR cut off filter such as a BG-38 on the lens.
