Description
The American Dynamics series of Infrared
Illuminators provide outstanding results when used
with IR sensitive B/W cameras.
The light produced by the 1020 Series Illuminators
is invisible to the human eye, making these units
excellent for covert operations or where the use of
visible lighting is not possible.
The 1020 Series Illuminator uses 22 rows of LEDs
(Light Emitting Diodes) to consistently produce
peak wavelength infrared light. All 22 rows of
LEDs are wired in parallel to prevent Illuminator
shutdown should one individual LED, or one row of
LEDs, fail.
American Dynamics offers this Illuminator in 30-
watt and 60-watt configurations. The 30-watt
Illuminator provides coverage for indoor and small
outdoor areas where a range of approximately
20m (66ft) is needed. Where greater outside
distance is required, the 60-watt Illuminators
provide coverage up from 35m (115ft) to 55m
(180ft).
Features
Over-voltage shut-off
The 1020 Series Illuminators are designed with
over-voltage circuitry to switch the Illuminator off in
case of voltage surges greater than 15 Vdc. The
unit switches on once the voltage drops below the
15 Vdc level.
Temperature-related shut-off
The 1020 Series Illuminators are designed to shut
off when temperatures exceed 70°C (158°F). The
unit switches on immediately after the temperature
drops below this limit.
Power Supply Selection
A power supply is not included with the 1020
Series Illuminators. The user can select an
independent manufacturer's power supply or
choose the 1040-3060PSA Power Supply
produced by American Dynamics.
When selecting a power supply, bear in mind that
the 1020 Series Illuminators require a stable 13.5
± 0.5 Vdc input.
•
A power supply with large voltage output
fluctuations will drive the Illuminator protection
circuitry into shut-down mode.
