System Installation

Carefully review the Precautions section in the previous chapter before performing any of
the procedures outlined in this chapter. Again, use only a Kinetix PCI Express data cable
and Kinetix PCI Express interface card with the camera. Using a different cable or
interface card may result in in unexpected errors or permanent damage to the system.

Introduction

The Kinetix camera system includes the following hardware components:

•

Kinetix Scientific CMOS Camera

•

USB 3.2 A to C data cable

•

A 12V/10A power supply with international power cord set

•

I/O to 8 BNC trigger break out cable, part number CBL-IO-8-BNC

•

USB memory device containing PVCAM library and drivers

•

Quick Installation Guide

•

PCI Express (PCIe) interface card

•

PCI Express data cable

•

C-mount front plate

•

F-mount front plate

•

T-mount front plate

Kinetix system components are linked by the PCI Express or USB3. data cable and controlled
by the host computer system. All these hardware components should be included with the
shipment. Keep all the original packing materials so you can safely ship the camera to
another location or return it for service.

If you have any difficulty with any step of the instructions, contact Photometrics Customer
Service.
