2.4 Power Supplies
The camera requires a single voltage input (+12V to +15V). The camera meets all
performance specifications using standard switching power supplies, although well-
regulated linear supplies provide optimum performance. See the Performance
Specifications for current requirements.
When setting u p the camera’s power sup plies follow these gu id elines:
• Protect the camera with a fast-blow fuse between power supply and camera.
• Do not use the shield on a multi-conductor cable for ground.
• Keep leads as short as possible to reduce voltage drop.
See section 1.3 for power requirements.
WARNING: It is extremely important that you apply the appropriate voltages to your camera.
Incorrect voltages will damage the camera. Protect the camera with a fast-blow fuse between
power supply and camera.
Visit http:/ / vfm.dalsa.com for a list of companies that make power supplies that meet
the cam era’s requirements. The com panies listed should n ot be considered the only
choices. Many high quality supplies are available from other vendors. We assume no
responsibility for the use of these supplies.
2.5 Control Inputs, Camera Link
The camera accepts control inputs through the Camera Link MDR26F connector.
All inputs are optional. The camera ships in exposure mode 2 and with a 5 kHz line rate. All
Camera Control (CCx) signals are in a logic HIGH state.
Line rate can be set internally using the serial interface. Power-on rate is always 9600
baud. Data rate for the 40MHz model is always 40MHz. Data rate for the 30MHz model is
always 30MHz.
The external control signals, EXSYNC and PRIN, are optional and enabled through the
serial interface.
PRIN
PRIN is an optional input signal used for exposure control (PRIN).
