The camera may also be triggered using the Trigger Setup tab in VPM Utilities.
Strobes
The camera triggers the strobe simultaneously with the camera shutter. Technical strobe specifications are listed in the
applicable strobe users guide.
A strobe is connected via the I/O connector on the rear of the camera using the optional Input/Output cable (PPT Part #
606-0607-02) and the optional terminal block (PPT Part # 248-0138). See “Input/Output” on page 5-1.
Strobe output signals on terminals 7 and 8 provide optically isolated, current-mode signals (300 mA maximum continuous
DC current at 20° C (68° F) – derated at higher temperatures).
If you use a strobe in combination with the camera's shuttering ability, a shroud is not necessary in most cases, provided
you set the shutter open time to a low value.
For more detailed information on configuring PPT strobe timing and duration, refer to the Impact Reference Guide.
PPT LED Ringlight
This section describes the optional PPT LED ringlight (PPT Part # 661-0376-xx) that can be used with the PPT A-Series
camera.
The last three digits of the part number indicate the LED color: BL = blue, IR = infrared, NIR = near infrared, RD = red,
and WHT = white. The ringlight can be mounted remotely, or directly on the A-Series camera body using the optional
LED ringlight adapter kit (PPT Part # 651-0131).
