The camera has been focused in the factory using a collimated bar target. Although it is possible to adjust
the focus, doing so may compromise the external seal of the camera and factory focus will be lost.
3.0 Basic Accessories
The Tau Camera can be simply used with either the VPC Module Accessory (FLIR PN 421-0039-00) or
the Camera Link Module Accessory (FLIR PN 421-0046-00). These accessories provide an easy way to
evaluate the camera core and access analog and, in the case of the Camera Link Module, digital video
during development. The Photon Replicator (FLIR PN 421-0040-00) allows access to a 30-pin SAMTEC
connector (SAMTEC Part Number: TFML-115-02-S-D-P) that can be useful for a cable connection. You
can find these and other accessories at http://www.flirshop.com.
3.1 VPC Module Accessory
The VPC module accessory includes USB-A to USB-mini B cable for power and communications, USB
power supply, European power adapter, MCX-to-BNC cable for analog video, and mounting screws.

3.2 Photon Replicator Board
Photon Replicator Board adapts the Tau camera's native 50-pin Hirose
connector to the 30-pin SAMTEC connector used on FLIR's Photon
cameras. The replicator board makes the Tau camera electrically pin-
compatible to a Photon camera, including the provision for operating the
Tau camera over the same input voltage range as the Photon camera: 5-
24VDC. Refer to the Photon 640 User’s Manual for more details including
pin definition.
A cast magnesium spacer and 4 socket-head machine screws are included.
