TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras

2.2 Camera Setup

2.2.1Heat Dissipation

The TM-6760 camera is a compact 648K x 484K camera. Since all the electronics have been packed in a compact package, the outer case of the camera gets hot due to heat dissipation. JAI, Inc. recommends the following procedure for optimal performance of the camera:

1.Mount the camera on a large heat sink (camera bracket) made out of conductive material like aluminum.

2.Make sure the flow of heat from the camera case to the bracket is not blocked by a non-conducting material like plastic.

3.Make sure the camera has enough open space around it to facilitate the free flow of air.

4.If possible, use a cooling fan to set up a positive air flow around the camera.
