Compliance, safety, and intended use
FPC cables
FPC cable position and orientation
Short circuits of FPC cables can damage the camera or connected hardware. Insert
FPC cables into FPC connectors with cable guiding tabs matching the connector's
side guides. See Connecting FPC cables on page 39.
FPC cables and stress
Over-stressed FPC cables can damage the camera and connected hardware. When
connected devices are twisted against each other or pulled apart from each other
with too much force, the FPC cable is over-stressed. Spring contacts of FPC
connectors are worn out, causing short circuits and unreliable electrical
connections.
• Allow only slight bending of the FPC cable (minimum bending radius: 10 mm).
• For strain relief, see Strain relief for all cable connections on page 26.
No hot-plugging for FPD-Link III
Alvium FP3 cameras do not support hot-plugging. Hot-plugging can destroy the
camera and connected hardware by high inrush current.
Disconnect power supplies before connecting or disconnecting devices from each
other.
Signal quality
Noise and electromagnetic interference can disable camera functions.
• Avoid squeezing cables and bending cables over edges.
• Avoid contact to metal surfaces, causing electromagnetic interference.
• Please use cables recommended by Allied Vision.
Camera power
Operating cameras beyond the specified range damages cameras. Cameras are
powered using the HSD STP connector, using a limited power source (LPS),
according to IEC 62368-1. For maximum power input, see your camera's
specifications in the Alvium FP3/GM2 User Guide. The camera is not intended to
be connected to a DC distribution network.
Only use power supplies that meet the insulation requirement according to PELV
or SELV. For details, please refer to IEC 61140.
Use only power supplied via the deserializer board
Alvium FP3 cameras use the same 10-pin TFM connector as Alvium G1 and G5
cameras. But the 10-pin TFM connector on Alvium FP3 cameras must not be used
as power input.
• Use the 10-pin TFM connector only as power output and for I/O control.
