Safety warnings
Caution

Electrostatic discharge
The camera contains sensitive electronic components which
can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge.
Use sufficient grounding to minimize the risk of damage.
Caution

Environmental conditions
Operate the camera in a dry and dust free environment. The
working temperature range (temperature of the camera
housing) depends on the camera model:
• Pearleye P-007 LWIR: + 25 °C to + 45 °C
• Pearleye P-030 LWIR: + 15 °C to + 35 °C
Only in this temperature range the camera reaches optimal
image quality. Outside the optimum temperature range, the
image may look oversaturated.
Regarding the signal quality of the camera it is an advantage to
operate the camera under constant ambient air temperature.
This can, e.g., be facilitated by assembling the camera on a
bigger metal corpus or by an additional active temperature
regulation.
The red LED at the backside of the camera (L3) or the value of
the register
T serves for examination. If L3 permanently
lights up or rather the lowest bit of T is set, the temperature
of the camera housing is outside the optimum. In this case
provide additional heating or cooling.
Note

Warm-up period
The warm-up of the camera takes 20 to 30 minutes.
To achieve best performance and accurate temperature
measurements, wait until the warm-up is complete.
