2.1 Cyber security
ATTENTION
Unprotected network environment.
The device does not include IT security measures according to IEC 62443.
▷ Unauthorised read or write access to data is possible.
▷ Unauthorised manipulation of the device function is possible.
▶ Check and restrict access options to the device.
3 Intended use
The device is an image processing system that processes data from connected camera heads. After processing the data, the output values are calculated and sent to the higher-level system.
The device is required for the operation of the connected camera heads.
3.1 Application area
The device safety is rated for use under the following operating conditions according to EN IEC 61010-2-201:
- indoor use
• altitudes up to 4000 m
• relative air humidity up to max. 90 %, non condensing - pollution degree 2
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC): The unit is designed for use in industrial environments. This product may cause radio interference in domestic areas.
▶ If required, take appropriate EMC screening measures.
The IP rating has not been evaluated by UL® Underwriters Laboratories®.
4 Installation

Fig. 1: Rear of the device with the threaded M5 holes
Installing the device:
▶ Install the device with the help of the 4 threaded M5 holes on heat-conductive metal parts or fixtures.
▷ Observe the maximum tightening torque of 5.5 Nm for the threaded holes.
▶ Design a mounting fixture that can dissipate the thermal power loss.
▷ The mounting fixture must meet the following properties:
- thermal connection with a thermal resistance < 2.5 K/W,
- cooling surface of > 10x10 cm,
- good heat-conducting material, for example aluminium.
▶ Ensure sufficient convection on the device and mounting fixtures.
▷ Obstructions around the device and a high installation density may have a negative impact on convection.
▶ Connect the housing of the device to an earth potential.
▶ Avoid installation in heavily polluted environments.
4.1 Coordinate system
The origin of the coordinate system is in the centre of the threaded M5 holes (1).

5 Electrical connection
ATTENTION
The unit must be connected by a qualified electrician.
Protection class III (PC III) unit (IEC 61010-2-201 chap. 6.5.2.101.4).
The electrical supply must
- be provided only by PELV circuits (IEC 61010-2-201 chap. 3.111),
- not exceed 35 V DC during operation,
- not exceed 60 V DC in the event of a single fault and
- not exceed the permitted operating voltage of the unit (see data sheet).
Use energy-limited circuits for the electrical supply (IEC 61010-1 chap. 9.4). The energy of the circuit can be limited at an operating voltage of 24 V by an overcurrent protection device. The overcurrent protection device must switch off a current of 8.3 A in maximum 120 s. Observe the specific tripping characteristic. Possible overcurrent protection devices:
- fuse or
- non-adjustable and non-self-reclosing electromechanical device.
Separate the circuit from other, non-energy-limited circuits by at least basic insulation. The separation of external circuits must comply with IEC 61010-2-201, Figure 102.
▶ Disconnect power before connecting the unit.
For cable lengths > 30 m use an additional protection against surge voltages to IEC 61000-4-5.
▶ Use a maximum cable length of 20 m for the coaxial lines to the sensor ports.
▷ Longer coaxial cables will dampen the signal too much.
ATTENTION
Devices damaged due to overload
▷ A camera head has 2 connections. If both connections are connected to different image processing systems at the same time, an overload will occur. This will damage the devices.
▶ Connect a camera head to only one image processing system.
ATTENTION
The device may be damaged by quickly switching it off and on again.
▶ After switching off the device, leave it switched off for at least 5 s before switching it on again.

For the scope of validity cULus:
Minimum temperature rating of the cable to be connected to the field wiring terminals: 70 °C.
Observe when connecting the device:
▶ Use strain reliefs for cables connected to the device.
▶ Cover the unused sockets with protective caps (E73004). Tightening torque 0.6...0.8 Nm.
