The interface card is „hot-plug“-capable. You can therefore insert it
into the cardbus receptacle socket of your laptop while it is turned on.
With Windows 2000/Windows XP the card is automatically
recognized and installed.
In general no installation CD is required, since the software drivers are
already present in the operating system.
The FireWire card is equipped with 6-pin FireWire sockets.
Depending on the desired cable length, one of the following FireWire
cables can be used to establish a connection:
•
FireWire Connector Cable (6-pin/6-pin Type), 1.8 m
order Nr. WK096-1.8
•
FireWire Connector Cable (6-pin/6-pin type), 3.0 m
order Nr. WK096-3.0
•
FireWire Connector Cable (6-pin/6-pin Type), 4.5 m
order Nr. WK096-4.5
Caution!
Although the interface card has 6-pin sockets, the laptop will
generally not provide a power supply for the camera. Therefore you
will have to use an external power adapter for the camera.
To connect the camera proceed as described below:
•
First connect the camera’s power supply. You can use a high-
quality stabilized adapter of your choice, as long as it delivers 8 to
30 VDC (Direct Current) and 500 mA. We recommend that you
use the PHYTEC adapter SV001. Depending on the kit option you
have, this adapter may already be included on delivery.
Check the voltage settings of the adapter and select the appropriate
low voltage plug (5.5 mm outer diameter). When connecting be
sure that the polarity is correct (negative terminal, positive
terminal)
Plug the adapter into the power socket of the PCMCIA-FireWire
adapter PC-110 (
Figure 14: Power Connection: PC-110 Card).
