Power supply
Certain camera functions need 12 V DC power supply. Power can be
sourced from batteries, wall adapters etc. Universal 100-240 V AC/50-
60 Hz, 60 W “brick” adapter is supplied with the camera. Although the
camera power consumption does not exceed 25 W, the 60 W power supply
ensures noise-free operation.
Warning:
The power connector on the camera head uses center-plus pin.
Although all modern power supplies use this configuration, always
make sure the polarity is correct if you use own power source.

Power consumption is measured on the 12 V DC side. Power
consumption on the AC side of the supplied AC/DC power brick is
higher.
The camera can be powered by unregulated 12 V DC power source –
the input voltage can be anywhere between 10 and 14 V. However,
cooling efficiency can degrade if the supply drops below 12 V.
C1+ camera measures its input voltage and provides it to the control
software. Input voltage is displayed in the Cooling tab of the Imaging
Camera tool in SIPS. This feature is important especially if the camera
is powered from batteries.
