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).

The internal temperature of some camera models can be queried.

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.

hint_attention

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
