Handling
precautions
The lens of Matrox Iris GT is a sensitive device. It should never be touched directly.
Always cover the lens if the smart camera is not in use to reduce dust buildup.
If dust accumulates on the lens, use either a can of compressed air or a lens cloth
to remove the dust.
Available separately
You might have also ordered one or more of the following cables:
• GT-CBL-PWR/3*, an open-wire digital I/O and power cable. On one end is an
M12 male 17-pin connector. The other side consists of 17 separately-colored
wires. For more details about this cable, refer to Breakout board power source
connector subsection of the Open-wire connectors reference section, in
Appendix F: The breakout board. This cable is meant to connect your Matrox
Iris GT to power and third-party digital I/O devices.
• GT-CBL-ETH/5*, a 100/1000 BaseT cable with M12 8-pin connectors. This
cable is meant to connect your Matrox Iris GT to another computer or network
device.
• GT-CBL-VGAUSB*, a VGA via USB cable with a M12 12-pin male connector
on one end and a HD-15 female connector and a USB female connector on the
other end. This cable is meant to connect your Matrox Iris GT with MIL to your
display screen.
• BREAKOUT-BOX* (Matrox Breakout Box), a DIN-rail mountable connection
module that connects the digital I/O and power cable of your Matrox Iris GT to
third-party devices. Your Matrox Breakout Box also connects to a serial cable,
allowing you to view the RS-232 (serial) signal information of your Matrox
Iris GT through a terminal emulation program. Matrox Iris GT I/O signals can
be routed either through standard wire terminals or through opto-isolated paired
wire terminals. Each pair of opto-isolated wire terminals has a separate plug-in
base for G4 Opto-22 standard I/O modules; these modules provide high noise
rejection, the ability to safely connect high voltage equipment (either AC or DC)
to your Matrox Iris GT, and transient free "clean" switching. This product ships
with a M12 to DB25 cable that has a M12 male 17-pin connector on one end
and a DB-25 male connector on the other.
