Item 7: AUXILIARY POWER PORT

This port is required to provide power to the camera.

This port provides threaded captivation of the power cable if required. The captivated cable
mating connector is the Switchcraft 760K. This connector can be purchased from AVT or from

http://www.digikey.com

.

Cameras designated as “A”, with serial number 02-2xxx

A

-xxxxx can accept an input voltage range

of 5V to 17V DC.

Cameras designated as “C”, with serial numbers 02-2xxx

C

-xxxxx and later versions can accept an

input voltage range of 5V to 24V DC.

However the suggested nominal voltage is 12V and cameras are tested at 12V.

Cameras will normally include a power supply. However compatible power supplies can also be
ordered separately from AVT (AVT P/N 02-8000A for North America or AVT P/N 02-8001A for a
Universal supply). The inner conductor is positive power and the external conductor is ground.

THE CAMERA POWER SUPPLY OPERATES MOST EFFICIENTLY AT 12V.
