Camera Mounting and Heat Sink Considerations
Up to tow optional heat sinks can be installed on the Piranha4 camera. As illustrated, they are ideally
positioned to allow close spacing of the cameras. These heat sinks are designed to provide adequate
convection cooling when not obstructed by enclosures or mounting assemblies.
Teledyne DALSA recognises that each cu stomer‘s application can be unique. In consideration, the P4
camera heat sinks have been designed in such a way that they can be repositioned on the different faces
of the camera or removed entirely, depending on the mounting configuration and its heat sinking
potential.
Repositioning or removal of the heat sinks must be performed with care in order to avoid temperature
issues. The camera has the ability to measure its internal temperature. Use this feature to record the
internal temperature of the camera when it is mounted in your system and operating under the worst
case conditions. The camera will stop outputting data if its internal temperature reaches 80 °C.
Filters
CMOS cameras are responsive to infrared (IR) wavelengths of light. Infrared light can be problematic
with halogen light sources but is not an issue with white LED sources. When infrared light is present
with this camera color fidelity is reduced. To prevent infrared from distorting the images you scan, use
an IR cut off filter such as a BG-38 on the lens.
