Do not stare into beam when adding, removing, or
changing cables. Cognex recommends to unpower the
reader any time you make physical changes to it.
CONNECT YOUR READER
1. Connect the I/O+RS232+24V cable to your reader.
2. For a network connection, connect your reader, through an Ethernet
cable, to your network.
3. Connect the cable to a 24V power supply.

DataMan 300 Series Imager Specifications
Specification
DataMan 300 Series Imager
Image Sensor
1/1.8 inch CMOS
Image Sensor Properties
6.9 mm x 5.5 mm (H x V); 5.3 µm square pixels (DataMan
300 and 302), 4.5 µm square pixels (DataMan 303)
Image Resolution (pixels)
• DataMan 300: 800 x 600
• DataMan 302: 1280 x 1024
• DataMan 303: 1600 x 1200
Electronic Shutter Speed
• minimum exposure: 5 µs (DataMan 300 and 302), 12 µs
(DataMan 303)
• maximum exposure: 1000 µs with internal
illumination/100000 µs with external illumination
Image Acquisition at Full
Resolution
• DataMan 300 and 302: up to 60 fps
• DataMan 303: up to 40 fps
Lens Type
• S-Mount 10.3 mm F:5 (with optional liquid lens)
• S-Mount 16 mm F:9
• C-Mount lenses (with limitations, see below)
Limitations to C-Mount lenses:
• The length of the thread may not exceed 5.4 mm.
• The back side of the lens may not exceed beyond the C-Mount threads. Possibly a lens
spacer is required.
•
When using the C-Mount lens cover, lens dimensions including spacer and filters may
not exceed 32 x 42 mm (diameter x length).
To avoid accelerated aging of built-in illumination LEDs, which results in light intensity
degradation, consider the following duty cycle limits above 25°C (77°F):
• at 35°C (95°F): 4% duty cycle, for example, 750 µs exposure and 18493 µs interval
• at 45°C (113°F): 2% duty cycle, for example, 350 µs exposure and 18093 µs interval
or 1000 µs exposure and 50000 µs interval
