Itala | INSTRUCTION MANUAL
HAZARD: always use suitable cables and power supplies that satisfy all the device
specifications. Failing to do so may result in damaging the camera, fire or injury to
the operator.
HAZARD: cables should be arranged carefully, avoiding pinching, sharp corners and
excessive tension. Failing to do so can lead to short circuits, damage to the appli-
ances or even fire.
4.2.5 Liquid lens
If the camera comes with the Liquid Lens Controller option, use a specific cable to connect the
camera GPIO port to an Opto Engineering® product integrating an electrically tunable lens. There
are two possible configurations:
• A dedicated point-to-point cable allows for a simple connection of the liquid lens when the
camera is powered via PoE.
• A dedicated Y-cable allows for simultaneous connection of liquid lens, power supply and
synchronization devices.
See section 6.17.1 for more information about the liquid lens connection and operation.
CAUTION: when using the Y-cable be sure to first connect the camera, then the
lens and finally the power supply. Never connect/disconnect the camera connector
while the lens and/or the power supply are connected. Failing to do so may result in
damaging the liquid lens integrated EEPROM.
CAUTION: always use the specific cable provided by Opto Engineering® to connect
the liquid lens to the camera. Failing to do so may result in damaging the camera or
the liquid lens.
NOTE: if the lens allows you to adjust the phase of the mount, choose an orientation that will
reduce the strain on the cable.
The orientation of the lens mounting can affect the image quality. Read the lens specifications
before the final installation of the vision system.
