20 Basler sprint Mono Cameras
1.7 Precautions
Applying Incorrect Camera Power Can Damage the Camera
The nominal voltage for the camera power is 12 VDC (± 10%). We do not
recommend applying a voltage less than 10.8 VDC or greater than 13.2 VDC.
The camera has camera power undervoltage protection that is triggered if the
voltage drops below 10.5 VDC. It also has camera power overvoltage
protection up to 25 VDC. See Section 6.8 on
page 145 for more detailed
information about camera power undervoltage and overvoltage protection.
Applying a camera power voltage greater than 25 VDC can seriously damage
the camera.
CAUTION
Making or Breaking Connections Incorrectly Can Damage the Camera
Be sure that all power to your camera and to your host PC is switched off
before you make or break connections to the camera. Making or breaking
connections when power is on can result in damage to the camera or to the
frame grabber.
If you can’t switch off the power, be sure that the camera power plug is the last
connector that you plug into the camera when making connections and the
first connector that you unplug from the camera when breaking connections.
CAUTION
An Incorrect Plug Can Damage the Camera’s 6-pin Connector
The plug on the cable that you attach to the camera’s 6-pin connector must be
a plug for 6 pins. Using a plug designed for a smaller or a larger number of
pins can damage the pins in the camera’s 6-pin connector.
