Description
OSID Emitters feature an acrylic lens, which typically prevents condensation. However, in highly humid conditions, condensation might still form on the lens, leading to significant signal loss. To mitigate this, an anti-condensation film can be applied to the Emitter lens. This film is easy to apply without requiring special tools or adhesives.
The anti-condensation film effectively prevents moisture buildup, maintaining lens clarity. Be aware, however, that the film reduces the maximum detection range by 10%. If the film becomes dirty, it can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Utilizing both the film and advanced Imager algorithms provides a cost-efficient solution for areas prone to moisture. Keep in mind that the OSID Imager includes a built-in heater, so applying the film on Imagers is not recommended.
In challenging environments where OSID-EH environmental housings are necessary and condensation is likely, both Emitter and Imager housings can also be fitted with the anti-condensation film. Using the film on both housings results in a 20% reduction in maximum detection range.
