Output Signals, Camera Link Clocking Signals
These signals indicate when data is valid, allowing you to clock the data from the camera to your
acquisition system. These signals are part of the Camera Link configuration and you should refer to the
Camera Link Implementation Road Map, available at our
these signals.

WARNING: It is extremely important that you apply the appropriate voltages to your camera.
Incorrect voltages may damage the camera. Input voltage requirement: +12 VDC to +24 VDC, 2
Amps. Before connecting power to the camera, test all power supplies.
Figure 8: 6-pin Hirose Circular Male Power Plug—Power Connector
The camera requires a single voltage input +12 VDC to +24 VDC. The camera meets all performance
specifications using standard switching power supplies, although well-regulated linear supplies provide
optimum performance.
WARNING: When setting up the camera's power supplies follow
these guidelines:
•
Apply the appropriate voltages.
!
•
Protect the camera with a 2 amp slow-blow fuse between the power supply and the camera.
•
Do not use the shield on a multi-conductor cable for ground.
•
Keep leads as short as possible in order to reduce voltage drop.
•
Use high-quality supplies in order to minimize noise.
If your power supply does not meet these requirements, then the camera
