7.7.2.1 Voltage Requirements
The following voltage requirements apply to the I/O output VCC (pin 10 of the 12-pin receptacle):
7.7.2.2 Line Schematic
The camera is equipped with four physical output lines designated as Output Line 1, Output Line 2,
Output Line 3, and Output Line 4. The output lines are accessed via the 12-pin receptacle on the
back of the camera.
As shown in the I/O schematic, each output line is opto-isolated. See the previous section for the
recommended operating voltage. The maximum current allowed through an output circuit is 50 mA.
A conducting transistor means a logical one and a non-conducting transistor means a logical zero.
Figure 40 shows a schematic circuit you can use to monitor an output line with a voltage signal. The
circuit in Figure 40 is monitoring output line 1.
Fig. 40: Typical Voltage Output Circuit
By default, the camera’s exposure active (ExpAc) signal is assigned to Output Line 1. The exposure
active signal indicates when exposure is taking place.
Voltage Significance
< +3.3 VDC The I/O output may operate erratically.
+3.3 to +24 VDC Recommended operating voltage.
