supply can reliably source 8.0W during operation while remaining within
the operating voltage range. Operation outside of the specified input
voltage range may result in unreliable operation or damage to the
camera.
●
The RedEdge-
MX
contains under-voltage and over-voltage protection
circuitry which nominally applies at 3.8V and 16.0V. However, over the
operating temperature range these cutoff voltages can vary by up to 0.2V.
For reliable operation, ensure the supply voltage remains within the
operating input voltage range at all times over the full range of operating
conditions.
●
Trigger input: The camera can be triggered either with a rising-edge
pulse, falling edge pulse or a PWM signal (such as is typically used with
standard servos). When using a PWM signal as the trigger, the camera
detects a transition from a “long” PWM to a “short” PWM (or vice-versa
depending on the configuration setup of the camera)

0.0 V DC to 5.0 V DC
Absolute Maximum Voltage
5.1 V DC
PWM Trigger Expected Range
1.0 ms to 2.0 ms
CAUTION
Care should be taken when multiple “grounds” are used for power and trigger
of the camera. Only one ground should be connected to the camera – typically
this is the ground that corresponds to the source of the power. If the ground of
the trigger signal and the ground of the power source are different, they should
not be joined together electrically at the camera. Contact
if further information is needed.
