2.4 Power Supplies
The camera requires a single input (+12V to +15V). The camera meets all performance
specifications using standard switching power supplies, although well-regulated linear
supplies provide optimum performance. See the Performance Specifications for current
requirements.
When setting up the camera’s power supplies follow these guidelines:
•
Protect the camera with a fast-blow fuse between power supply and camera.
•
Do not use the shield on a multi-conductor cable for ground.
•
Keep leads as short as possible to reduce voltage drop.
See section 1.3 for power requirements.
WARNING:
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.
The companies listed below make power supplies that meet the camera’s requirements,
but they should not be considered the only choices. Many high quality supplies are
available from other vendors. DALSA assumes no responsibility for the use of these
supplies.

2.5 Control Inputs
The camera accepts control inputs through an MDR36F connector. All inputs are
optional. The camera ships in default, logic HIGH. The camera defaults (no external
input required) to maximum data rate, forward direction, maximum line rate, and
internal sync to trigger readout. Line rate can be set internally using the RS232 interface.
External control signals, EXSYNC, EXRCLK, and FORWARD, are optional and enabled
through the RS232 interface.
Control signals use EIA-644 (LVDS) format, which requires twisted pair cable. DALSA
recommends shielded cables. Maximum cable length depends on environmental factors
and EIA-644 limitations. See Appendix A.
Control signals are differential, requiring
complements denoted with a “B” suffix (e.g. BIN, BINB).
