source including 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 30 W, the 60 W power supply ensures
noise-free operation.

Power consumption is measured on the AC side of the supplied 12 V AC/DC
power supply. Camera consumes less energy from 12 V power supply than
state here.
The camera contains its own power supplies inside, so it can be powered by
unregulated 12 V DC power source – the input voltage can be anywhere
between 10 and 14 V. However, some parameters (like cooling efficiency) can
degrade if the supply drops below 12 V.
G2 CCD camera measures its input voltage and provides it to the control
software. Input voltage is displayed in the Cooling tab of the CCD Camera
control tool in the SIPS. This feature is important especially if you power the
camera from batteries.
