Camera interfaces

Power supply (pin 1-4)
The camera requires 12 V +5% DC. Current consumption depends on model. See
Chapter
Serial interface (pin 7, 8)
By use of the serial interface at pin 7 and 8 the camera can be controlled exter-
nally via a RS232 COM port.
A simple terminal program (e.g. HyperTerminal) is sufficient for manually con-
trolling the camera.
Mode input (pin 9)
The mode input provides a method for switching the camera between the con-
tinuous operation and image-on-demand (IOD) mode using an externally
applied signal. This input has the same function as the camera control signal
CC4. For more information: see Chapter
The current (1) which flows through the optocoupler and the integrated drop-
ping resistor should be > 5 mA and should not exceed 20 mA.
Input pin 9:
open/GND means continuous operation
5 V ... 20 V means image on demand
