7.5 Camera Power
Camera power must be supplied to the 6-pin connector on the camera via a cable from your power
supply. Nominal operating voltage is +12 VDC (± 10%) with less than one percent ripple. Power
consumption is as shown in the specification tables in Section 1 of this manual.
Close proximity to strong magnetic fields should be avoided.
For more information about the 6-pin connector, see Section 7.2.2 on page 45 and Section 7.3.3 on
page 47.
For more information about the power cable, see Section 7.4.1 on page 48.
Applying Incorrect Power Can Damage the Camera
The camera’s nominal operating voltage is +12 VDC (± 10%). If the voltage
applied to the camera is greater than +13.2 VDC, severe damage to the
camera can result. If the voltage is less than +10.8 VDC, the camera may
operate erratically.
Make sure that the polarity of the power applied to the camera is correct.
Applying power with the wrong polarity can result in severe damage to the
camera.
CAUTION
An Incorrect Plug Can Damage the 6-pin Connector
The plug on the cable that you attach to the camera’s 6-pin connector must
have 6 female pins. Using a plug designed for a smaller or a larger number of
pins can damage the connector.
CAUTION
Making or Breaking Connections Incorrectly Can Damage the Camera
Be sure that all power to your camera and to your host PC is switched off
before you make or break connections to the camera. Making or breaking
connections when power is on can result in damage to the camera or to the
frame grabber.
If you can’t switch off the power, be sure that:
 The input power plug is the last connector that you plug into the camera
when making connections.
 The input power plug is the first connector that you unplug from the
camera when breaking connections.
