Installation

2.2 - CONNECTORS

There are six connections points on the iXon3 as shown in gure 8 above. There are four industry-standard SMB (Sub

Miniature B) connectors, details as follows:

• Fire (please refer to pages 51 - 63)

• Shutter(seepage 64)

• Arm (please refer to pages 51 - 63)

• Ext.Trig(ExternalTriggerInput) (please refer to pages 51 - 63)

terminated at source (i.e. in the camera head) for a 50Ω cable.

NOTES:

1. The termination at the customer end should be high impedance (>1K) as an incorrect impedance match

could cause errors with timing and triggering.

2. The External Trigger Input SMB is TTL level & CMOS compatible and has 470 impedance.

3. Signal diagrams of these connections can be found on page 79.

There is an I2C connection point and the pin-outs for this are shown in Figure 9 below:

The connection for the 26 pin interface between the camera and the PCI controller card is made via an MDR 36

connector shown in gure 8 above.

The Cooler Power connection is for the Power Supply Block (PSB) described on page 11.
