Ambient conditions

Achtung

Avoid high air humidity levels and rapid temperature changes when using uEye cameras.

Temperatures below +4 °C (39 °F) combined with excessive relative air humidity levels can cause icing.

At ambient temperatures above 45 °C (113 °F), the image quality could be reduced due to increased thermal noise. It is recommended to mount the camera to a heat-dissipating unit when high ambient temperatures prevail.

Hinweis

The temperature values given above refer to the ambient temperature. The camera temperature that can be queried for some uEye models is usually higher than the ambient temperature and must not exceed than 70 °C (158 °F).

Achtung

Note on the GigE uEye SE/RE

When you supply this camera with 24V power, the maximum ambient temperature decreases by 5° C.

*1 Non-condensing

Hinweis

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.

USB uEye XS

Achtung

It is recommended to fix the USB uEye XS camera to a thermally conductive mounting material (e.g. the uEye XS tripod adapter or a metal plate). Otherwise, heat given off by the camera may reduce the image quality.

Vibration and shock resistance

Vibration and shock resistance of the USB uEye and GigE uEye cameras were tested as specified in DIN EN 60068-2-6(1996-05), DIN EN 60068-2-27(1995-03) and DIN EN 60068-2-29(1995-03). The mechanical shock was at 80 g; the vibration testing was performed with sinusoidal vibration at a frequency between 30 Hz-500 Hz and an amplitude of 10 g.

Achtung

USB uEye XS

The integrated optical system is very sensitive to shock or vibration in the direction of the optical axis if the focus is not on minimum or infinity.
