Introduction
Heat dissipation
Due to the small packaging and high speed of Mako cameras, take special care
to ensure that the housing temperature of the camera does not exceed 50 °C.
Following are general guidelines for heat dissipation:
• Mount the camera on a heat sink such as a metal bracket.
• Lenses, when attached to a camera, act as a heat-sink and help reduce
housing temperature.
• Ensure sufficient air flow. Use a fan if necessary.
Note

The housing temperature of the camera will gradually
increase during the first hour of operation and should
stabilize after that.
