MOUNTING SPECIFICATIONS
Enclosure Specifications
The IS4920 imaging engine series was specifically designed for integration into
custom housings for OEM applications. The imaging engine’s performance will
be adversely affected or permanently damaged when mounted in an unsuitable
enclosure.
The limited warranty (on page 53) is void if the following
considerations are not adhered to when integrating the
IS4920 series area-imaging engine into a system.
E
lectrostatic Discharge (ESD) Cautions
All IS4920 imaging engines are shipped in ESD protective packaging due to
the sensitive nature of the engine's exposed electrical components.
• ALWAYS use grounding wrist straps and a grounded work area when
unpacking and handling the engine.
• Mount the engine in a housing that is designed for ESD protection and
stray electric fields.
ESD has the ability to modify the electrical characteristics of a
semiconductor device, possibly degrading or even destroying the
device. ESD also has the potential to upset the normal operation
of an electronic system, causing equipment malfunction or failure.
Airborne Contaminants and Foreign Materials
The imaging engine has very sensitive miniature electrical and optical
components that must be protected from airborne contaminants and foreign
materials. In order to prevent permanently damaging the imaging engine and
voiding the limited warranty (on page 53), the imaging engine enclosure must
be:
• Sealed to prevent infiltration by airborne contaminants and foreign
materials such as dust, dirt, smoke, and smog.
• Sealed to protect against water, humidity and condensation.
