3 Introduction 3.1 Safety precautions With your card in hand, please take the time to read through the precautions listed below in order to prevent preventable and unnecessary injuries and damage to you, other personnel or property. Read these safety instructions carefully prior to your first use of the product, as these precautions contain safety instructions that must be observed.
3.2 Disclaimer KAYA Instruments will assume no responsibility for any damage that may ensue by the use of this product for any purpose other than intended, as previously stated. Without detracting from what was previously written, please be advised that the company will take no responsibility for any damages caused by: ...
This document is meant to serve as a hardware reference and installation guide for KAYA’s second generation frame grabbers: the Predator II CoaXPress, Komodo II CoaXPress, Komodo II CLHS and Chameleon II. The guide consists of 8 chapters split into two main parts: the first (chapters 5 through 11) refers to the hardware of the cards and includes an overview and interface layouts, PCIe working modes, LED sates, GPIO connectors and pinout, mechanical drawings, environmental conditions and electrical specifications.
Newest PCIe generations supported and maximal bandwidth for each card are listed in the following table: Card Newest Supported PCIe Generation Maximal Bandwidth (Newest PCIe Generation) Predator II CoaXPress Gen 2.4, up to 4 lanes 12 [Gbps] Chameleon II CoaXPress...

8 CoaXPress Cables CoaXPress is a new digital transmission standard that allows high speed data from a device, such as a camera, to be transferred to a host, such as a frame grabber. Each CoaXPress link supports up to 12.5 Gbps data rates, along with device power up to 13W and device control at up to 30 Mbps –...
9 General Purpose Input Output 9.1 GPIO Connectors Our second-generation cards come with one of two possible GPIO connectors: the 26-pin, 3-row D-Sub connector accessible from the front bracket (Komodo II CoaXPress and Predator I CoaXPress) and the 26-pin, dual row pin header connector that is located on the PCB itself (Komodo II CLHS and Chameleon II CoaXPress).

Figure no. 12 illustrates the process: Figure 12 – Pushing the Micro-BNC connector into place Once pushed all the way through, twist the connector clock-wise. The pin will move in the channel locking the connector in position: Figure 13 – Twisting the connector and securing it in position To remove the cable, repeat the process from finish to start: twist the connector counter-clock-wise and pull it out.
12.3 CLHS Cards 12.3.1 Installing & Removing SFP+ Modules The purpose of this section is to demonstrate how to install SFP+ transceiver module, attach an optical network cable and remove an SFP+ transceiver module. It is necessary to understand the correct way of installing and removing an SFP+ transceiver, as correct operation can protect the module from being damaged and ensure its stable performance.
8. Follow the exact steps to insert additional module into the camera’s fiber interface. Figure 14 – SFP+ Module Installation. (a) bale clasp open and dust plug removed, (b) Installing an SFP+ Module into a port 12.3.4 Connecting the Interface Cable to the SFP+ Module In order to properly connect the fiber optic cables, the following steps must be taken: 1.
12.3.5 Removing the SFP+ Module 1. Turn the camera and the computer off. 2. Disconnect and remove all interface cables from the ports. 3. Open the bale clasp on the SFP+ module with your index finger, or a small flat-blade screwdriver, in a downward direction, as shown in figure 15.
