Connecting an External Power Supply
All 4CXP cameras can either be supplied with power over coax (PoCXP) or via the Hirose connector
with an external power supply. MC4082/4083 cameras are equipped with a female 6-pin and
MC4086/4087 with a female 12 pin Hirose connector.
12 Pin Hirose Connector and I/O Signals
In case you prefer an external power supply for MC4086/4087, connect it with the 12 pin Hirose
connector (HR10A-10R-12PB (71)) at the back of the camera. The DC power supply has to deliver 12 -
24 V DC (7 W) (
page 11).
The 12 pin connector provides a strobe signal (STRB
OUT
) which is low during exposure and two inputs
for an external trigger (
page 39).
In case you assemble your own cable, pay attention to the pinning described below.

The I/O standard 3.3V LVTTL applies to all signal I/Os (STRB + TRIG).
WARNING
The power connector of the camera has to be connected
with a DC power supply providing 12 to 24 V DC.
Connecting a lower or higher supply voltage, an AC
voltage, reversal polarity (+/-) or using wrong pins of the
power connector may damage the camera and will void
warranty.
