The camera requires a single voltage input (12 to 15V). Ensure you measure a minimum of 12V at the
camera power connector and not at the power supply. The voltage drop across power cables can be
large enough to supply too low of a voltage to the camera for it to operate properly.
WARNING: When setting up the camera’s power supplies follow these guidelines:
•
Protect the camera with a fast-blow fuse between power supply and camera.
•
Power surge limit at 500 mA.
•
12 V power supply. Nominal 0 to 3A load resulting in ~20 A/s current ramp rate
•
Power supply current limit needs to be set at >2 A.
•
Do not use the shield on a multi-conductor cable for ground.
•
Keep leads as short as possible to reduce voltage drop. Long power supply leads
may falsely indicate that the power supply is within the recommended voltage range
even when the camera at the connector is actually being supplied with much less
voltage.
•
Use high-quality
linear
supplies to minimize noise.
•
Use an isolated type power supply to prevent LVDS common mode range violation
•
It is extremely important that you apply the appropriate voltages to your camera.
Incorrect voltages will damage the camera. Protect the camera with a fast-blow fuse
between power supply and camera.
•
Performance specifications are not guaranteed if your power supply does not meet
these requirements
Note: If power is supplied to both PoCL and the Hirose power connector, the camera will use
the PoCL supply. However, DALSA recommends connecting only one power supply to the
camera..
Visit the www.dalsa.com Web site for a list of companies that make power supplies that meet the
camera’s requirements. The companies listed should not be considered the only choices.
