4. How to Operate
(4-1) Connection method
● Connection
Refer to the connection example between the camera and
peripheral devices (Fig. 4-1).
(1) Remove the cover of the lens attachment section and
attach a lens (option).
(2) Connect the camera head to a power supply unit(option) with a
camera cable (option).
The maximum allowable length for camera cable is 10 m.
(3) Connect the LAN connector on the rear of the camera to the LAN
connector of PC through LAN cable(Cat-5e or greater).
The maximum allowable length for a standard LAN cable is 100m.
Also, the maximum allowable length for a hi-flex LAN cable is 30m.
(4) Turn on the power switch of the camera after
confirming the connecting condition.
In 1 or 2 seconds after the power is turned on,
the operation indicator LED on the rear panel of
the camera changes from orange to green to show
that the camera is in operation.
(5) Set the camera operation modes in accordance
with the setting instructions for the operation
modes and the shutter speed that are described
in another section.
(Note)
The maximum allowable lengths of the camera cable and the LAN cable aforementioned are not for the purpose of
guaranteeing the operation of the camera. Proper image signals may not be obtained even when the cables are
within the allowable ranges, depending on the installation conditions of the camera, cables in use and others.
Especially for a camera cable (Power cable), the voltage of the terminal end on camera side is required to be within
a voltage range of the specification (12V±10%) with the camera being connected.
(Note)
As the LAN card, use a separately recommended product or a LAN port equipped with recommended Ethernet
controller(PHY).
[Important]
(Note)
Make sure to turn off the power switch of the camera before connecting or disconnecting the camera cable.
If the cable is connected or disconnected while the power is supplied, troubles may be caused.
(Note)
Make sure to turn off the camera and connected devices in advance when the camera is connected.
(Note)
When a power supply unit other than Takenaka's camera power supply units that are separately sold is used, make sure
that it complies with the following rated specifications:
Power supply voltage: DC12V±10%
Current capacity:
Ripple voltage:
Connector:
(Note)
Some power supply units other than TAKENAKA's products have different layout of power connection pins. Make sure to
check the compatibility of the power supply unit and the camera connection pins in advance.
Carefully note that any failure associated with power application to out-of-specification pins and others is subject to
charged repair.
(4-2) Input of Vinit signal (asynchronous trigger signal)
● How to input Vinit signal
If the camera is used in the asynchronous shutter mode, the Vinit signal (asynchronous trigger signal) must be input
from the user unit.
The Vinit signal is input from Pin (6) of the "POWER" connector (12 pin connector) on the rear of the camera.
If the camera is connected to the power supply unit PU100 with a Takenaka's 12W series cable, connect the Vinit
signal (asynchronous trigger signal) to the trigger input terminal of the power supply unit (PU100).
(Note)
Though the asynchronous trigger signal can be given by serial communication command via GigE interface, it
is not suitable for real-time image capturing as it gets delayed following packet forwarding.
(Note)
When the camera is in OSD menu displaying status (when the operation indicator LED blinks in green), periodic
trigger signal continues to be supplied from internal CPU so that OSD display is updated on regular basis.
In this state, the external trigger signal (Vint) can not be accepted.
Turn the OSD menu to hidden status to make Vint signal input effective.
1.2A or over (recommended value)
Take into consideration the fact that transient current of about 1.8A flows when power is applied.
50mVp-p or less (recommended value)
12 pin connector 1 pin (GND), 2 pin (+12VDC)
