Thermal Considerations and Mounting
If the internal temperature sensor reads 75 °C or more, the smart camera immediately halts
operation and becomes unresponsive. The IMG ACQ LED and the FAIL LED flash red. You
must remove and reapply power to the smart camera to recover from this condition.
To maximize the cooling efficiency of the smart camera, mount it to a thermally conductive
structure, as specified in the
Mounting the NI Smart Camera
section.
Mounting the NI Smart Camera
Caution
If you choose not to mount the NI Smart Camera to a thermally
conductive structure, do not position the smart camera with the heat sinks resting on
any surface. Doing so may violate the thermal requirements of the smart camera and
cause the smart camera to overheat. Refer to Appendix A,
Specifications
, for
temperature specifications.
Figures 8-2 through 8-5 provide the dimensional drawings necessary to create a custom mount
for the smart camera.
