The camera requires a single voltage input (+12 to +15V). The camera meets all
performance specifications using standard switching power supplies, although well-
regulated linear supplies provide optimum performance.
WARNING: When setting up the camera’s power supplies follow these guidelines:
• Apply the appropriate voltages
• 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.
• Use high-quality
linear supplies to minimize noise.
Note: Camera performance specifications are not guaranteed if your power supply does not meet
these requirements.
DALSA offers a power supply with attached 6’ power cable that meets the Spyder 3 CL
camera’s requirements, but it should not be considered the only choice. Many high
quality supplies are available from other vendors. Visit the http://mv.dalsa.com Web site
