Enclosure Specifications
The imaging engine 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.
Warning: The limited warranty (on page 31) is void if the following considerations are not adhered to when integrating the engine into a system.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Cautions
All 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 31), 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 be
