Introduction Symbols Note This symbol highlights important information. Caution www This symbol highlights important instructions. You have to follow these instructions to avoid malfunctions. This symbol highlights URLs for further information. The URL itself is shown in blue. Example: http://www.alliedvision.com Precautions Caution Do not disassemble the camera housing. Warranty is void if camera has been disassembled. This camera contains sensitive internal components.
Introduction Caution Do not exceed environmental specifications. See environmental specifications limits in the Specifications section of this document. Special care must be taken to maintain a reasonable operating temperature. If the camera is operated in temperatures higher than the specified range, the camera should be mounted on a heat sink. Cleaning optics Caution Caution Allied Vision does not warranty against any physical damage to the sensor/filter/protection glass or lenses.
Introduction If it is determined that the debris is on the inside surface of the filter glass, or on the sensor glass, IR filter removal is necessary. Depending on the manufacturing date of your Prosilica GS camera, the IR filter may be slot type, or pinhole type. Slot type filters can be removed using a small flat head screw driver. Pinhole type filters require a pin spanner wrench for removal. Note A pin spanner wrench suitable for IR filter removal is available for purchase from Allied Vision.

Camera attribute highlights Camera attribute highlights Allied Vision cameras support a number of standard and extended features. The table below identifies a selection of interesting capabilities of the Prosilica GS camera family.
Filters Filters All Prosilica GS color models are equipped with an infrared block filter (IR filter). This filter is employed to prevent infrared wavelength photons from passing to the sensor. In the absence of IR filter, images are dominated by red and incapable of being properly color balanced. Monochrome cameras do not employ an IR filter. The figure below shows the filter transmission response for the IRC30 filter employed in the Prosilica GS cameras.
Camera dimensions Camera dimensions The Prosilica GS camera family offers several sensor orientation options. The camera variations are described below and detailed dimension drawings are provided in Mechanical drawings in the next section.

Mechanical drawings C-Mount flange focal distance Flange focal distance is the optical distance from the mounting flange to image sensor die. Prosilica GS C-Mount cameras are optically calibrated to a standard 17.526 mm optical flange focal distance, with a ±10 μm tolerance. www Prosilica GS cameras are shipped with adjustable C-Mount. The camera can also be built with a CS-Mount with a standard 12.50 mm optical flange focal distance and a ± 10 μm tolerance.
Mechanical drawings Image to infinity Use a C-Mount compatible lens that allows an infinity focus. Set the lens to infinity and image a distant object—10 to 15 m should suffice. Make sure the lens is firmly threaded onto the C-Mount ring. Rotate the lens and C-Mount ring until the image is focused. Carefully tighten the locking ring and recheck focus.
Camera interfaces Camera interfaces This chapter provides information on Gigabit Ethernet port, inputs and outputs, and trigger features. www Accessories: Please contact Allied Vision sales representative or your local Allied Vision dealer for information on accessories: http://www.alliedvision.com/en/about-us/where-weare.
Camera interfaces Gigabit Ethernet port The Gigabit Ethernet port conforms to the IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-T standard for Gigabit Ethernet over copper. We recommend using Category 6 or higher compatible cabling and connectors for best performance. www Note GigE Installation Manual offers detailed instructions for using Prosilica GS cameras. http://www.alliedvision.com/fileadmin/content/documents/ products/cameras/various/installation-manual/ GigE_Installation_Manual.

Camera interfaces I/O definition Camera power The Prosilica GS camera family has recently been updated to offer an expanded input power voltage range. The camera serial number is used to differentiate between cameras that offer 5–16 VDC and those that offer 5–25 VDC. Caution SN: 02-22XXA, 5–16 V. 12 V nominal. SN: 02-22XXB, 5–25 V. 12 V nominal. Note A 12 V power adapter with camera connector is available for purchase from Allied Vision: • • P/N: 02-8007A North America Supply.
Camera interfaces In 1 – opto-isolated In 1 is optically isolated and can be used in electrically noisy environments to prevent false trigger events. Tie Camera GND to Isolated IO GND to complete the trigger circuit. Compare to the non-isolated trigger, In 1 has a longer propagation time. It can be driven from 5 to 24 V with a minimum current source of 10 mA. See Camera I/O opto-isolated user circuit example for more information.
Camera interfaces Out 2– non-isolated Out 2 signal is not electrically isolated and can be used when environmental electrical noise is inconsequential and faster trigger response is required. Use Signal GND to complete the external circuit. The output signal is a low voltage TTL, maximum 3.3 V. Not suitable for driving loads in excess of 24 mA. See Camera I/O non-isolated user circuit example for more wiring information.

Input trigger voltage greater than 5.5 V will damage the camera. Output: The maximum sync output current is 24 mA, at 3.3 V.
Camera interfaces Video iris user circuit example Prosilica GS series cameras provide built-in auto iris controls for controlling video-type auto-iris lenses. These lenses are available from many popular security lens companies including Pentax, Fujinon, Tamron, Schneider and others. Remote iris lens control allows the camera to be more adaptable to changing light conditions.

Resolution and ROI frame rates Resolution and ROI frame rates This section charts the resulting frame rate from changing sensor region of interest (ROI), from full image to a single line. Note • • • • Frame rate data was generated using StreamBytesPerSecond = 124 MB/s and an 8 bit pixel format such as Mono8 or BayerRG8. Frame rates may be lower if using network hardware incapable of 124 MB/s.
