4.3.2 External Power Supply
All multi-sensor cameras except the multi-sensor cameras with VRmS-12 sensor
boards must be connected to an additional external power supply. Single-sensor and
remote-sensor cameras do not need an external power supply.
Use the power supply adapter PHIHONG PSA 15R-050P, if ordered as accessory. Al-
ternatively, use a power supply with the same output values (5 V DC ±5%, at least
15W).
Note
Depending on the accessory kit you ordered ( 2.3 on page 13), the external
power supply must be connected to cables with loose ends or to a 5 V receptacle.
Connecting the camera to an external power supply:
1. Connect the power adaptor to power (multi-sensor cameras only).
2. Connect the power adaptor cable to the camera’s power inlet (multi-sensor cam-
eras only).
3. If you have not already done so, connect the USB cable attached to the camera to
a USB 2.0 port of your host PC. Do not connect to a USB 3.0 port.
f The status LED starts blinking.
f If you have installed the camera software, the camera should be detected auto-
matically by the host PC. When Windows XP complains about missing WHQL
certification of the driver, click Continue Anyway to complete installation
f The camera is ready to use and the status LED should be on permanently.
