[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, it may cause the camera troubles.
(Note)
Make sure to turn off the camera and connected devices in advance before connecting the camera.
(Note)
When a power supply unit other than Takenaka's product that are separately sold is used, make sure that it complies
with the following rated specifications:
Power supply voltage: DC12V±10%
Current capacity: 400mA or over
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 side unit.
The Vinit signal is input from Pin (4) of the "POWER" connector (6 pin connector) on the rear of the camera, or is input
as the CC1 signal from the "Camera Link" connector.
If the camera is connected to the power supply unit PU100 (or PU-97), with a Takenaka's 12W series cable, connect
the Vinit signal (asynchronous trigger signal) to the trigger input terminal ("EXT" BNC in case of PU-97) of the power
supply unit (PU100).
(Note)
OR operation (negative OR) is implemented inside the camera between Vinit1 input signal from Pin (4) of "POWER"
connector and Vinit2 input signal as CC1 signal of "Camera Link" connector (see the figure below).
(Note)
If either one of those are fixed to the L level (active state),
the Vinit signal (logical sum) is also fixed to the L level and
the trailing edge signal cannot be obtained. This would
result in failure in starting up the asynchronous shutter
operation. Make sure to fix the input signal on the unused
side to the H level or to keep it at high impedance level or
open state (no connection).
● LED Vinit signal monitor indicator
When this camera is set in the asynchronous shutter mode, the LED
indicator on the rear panel of the camera lights up in red for one shot
in response to the input of the external trigger signal (Vinit signal).
This allows the user to confirm the state of signal input.
The red LED lights up for a certain period of time (about 100 ms) on
each trailing edge of the trigger input pulse. If a next trigger signal is
input within this period, the lighting time of the LED will be retriggered
and extended.
Since the lighting of the LED responses only to the trailing edge of the
trigger input, it lights up only once for 100 ms even if the trigger input
pulse duration is longer than the one shot time of period.
Take into consideration the fact that inrush current of about 1A flows in when power is applied.
