Power Connector

Table 3: Hirose Pin Description
The camera requires a single voltage input (+12 to +15VDC). The camera meets all performance
specifications using standard switching power supplies, although well-regulated linear supplies provide
optimum performance.
WARNING: When setting up the camera’s power supplies follow these guidelines:
•
Apply the appropriate voltages
•
Protect the camera with a
fast-blow fuse
between power supply and camera.
•
Do not use the shield on a multi-conductor cable for ground.
•
Keep leads as short as possible to reduce voltage drop.
•
Use high-quality
linear
supplies to minimize noise.
•
Use an isolated type power supply to prevent LVDS common mode range violation.
Note:
Camera performance specifications are not guaranteed if your power supply does not meet these
requirements.
Teledyne DALSA offers a power supply with attached 6’ power cable that meets the Piranha HS camera’s
requirements, but it should not be considered the only choice. Many high quality supplies are available
from other vendors.
