Sophisticated algorithms keep the operation of the system within acceptable thermal parameters to ensure reliable operation over the device's lifetime.
Temperature is actively monitored at critical points within the system. If the device exceeds a recommended limit, the system response may include stopping active jobs. If this condition occurs, consider mitigation strategies to avoid overheating. It is required to power cycle the device to resume normal operation if one of these strategies is employed.
Mitigate the risk of overheating by:
Avoiding continuous trigger mode
Lowering trigger rate
Using external illumination
Operating in a cooler environment
Actively cooling with a fan
For optimal performance, ensure that the device does not exceed the recommended operating ranges listed below:
Operating Temperature
Temperature
Operating Range
Ambient Temperature
0°C to 45°C (non-POE, duty cycle-dependent)
If temperatures exceed the recommended operating range, additional heat-sinking strategies such as mounting to a metal infrastructure or forced convection via an external fan may be necessary. The Zebra Universal Mounting Bracket (BRKT-LMNT-U000) provides multiple options to mount to a metal infrastructure.
