1. 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.
2. 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.
3. G3 camera measures its input voltage and provides it to the control
software. Input voltage is displayed in the Cooling tab of the Imaging
Camera control tool in the SIPS. This feature is important especially if
you power the camera from batteries.

G3 and G4 CCD Camera
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.
