The camera requires a single voltage input (12 to 15V). Ensure you measure a minimum
of 12V at the camera power connector and not at the power supply. The voltage drop
across power cables can be large enough to supply too low of a voltage to the camera for
it to operate properly.
!
WARNING: When setting up the camera’s power supplies follow these guidelines:
•
Protect the camera with a fast-blow fuse between power supply and camera.
•
Power surge limit at 500 mA.
•
12 V power supply. Nominal 0 to 3A load resulting in ~20 A/s current ramp rate
•
Power supply current limit needs to be set at >2 A.
•
Do not use the shield on a multi-conductor cable for ground.
•
Keep leads as short as possible to reduce voltage drop. Long power supply leads may
falsely indicate that the power supply is within the recommended voltage range even
when the camera at the connector is actually being supplied with much less voltage.
•
Use high-quality
linear
supplies to minimize noise.
•
Use an isolated type power supply to prevent LVDS common mode range violation.
Note: Performance specifications are not guaranteed if your power supply does not meet
these 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.

meet the camera’s requirements. The companies listed should not be considered the only
choices.
