  • Page 8: Power Ground

    GX1660 User Manual These ports conform to the IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-T standard for Gigabit Ethernet over copper. It is recommended that CAT5E or CAT6 compatible cabling and connectors be used for best performance. Cable lengths up to 100m are supported. For higher bandwidth requirements, both ports can be used in a link aggregation group (LAG) configuration.

  • Page 9: External Power

    GX1660 User Manual EXTERNAL POWER This connection provides the main power for the camera. The camera operates from a DC voltage between 5V to 24V. The current capacity of the power supply can be estimated by dividing the camera’s power requirement by the external power voltage. It is also recommended to factor this by about 50% as follows: Power supply current capacity = (power specification / external voltage) x 1.5...
  • Page 10 GX1660 User Manual SYNC OUTPUTS (1 to 4) These signals are optically isolated and require the user to provide a high voltage level (USER VCC) and signal common (USER GROUND). USER VCC can be from 5V to 24V. ICC is a function of USER VCC and load resistor R.
  • Page 11 GX1660 User Manual These signals only function as outputs and can be configured as follows: Exposing Trigger Ready Trigger Input Readout Strobe Imaging Any of the above signals can be set for active high or active low. RS-232 RXD and RS-232 TXD These signals are RS-232 compatible.

  • Page 12: Pin Function

    GX1660 User Manual LENS CONTROL PORT AS SEEN FROM BACK OF This connector provides the signals necessary to control the iris, focus, and zoom of most commercially available TV Zoom lenses. The camera can be configured to operate lenses with unipolar voltage requirements of 6V up to 12V or lenses which operate with bipolar voltages from ±6V up to ±12V.
  • Page 13 GX1660 User Manual DO NOT CONTACT CLEAN SENSOR UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Debris on the image sensor or optical components will appear as a darkened area or smudge on the image that does not move as the camera is moved. Do not confuse this with a pixel defect which will appear as a distinct point.
  • Page 14 GX1660 User Manual THE C-MOUNT IS ADJUSTED AT THE FACTORY AND SHOULD NOT REQUIRE ADJUSTING. If for some reason, the C-mount requires adjustment, use the following method. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen locking ring. Be careful not to scratch the camera. When the locking ring is loose, unthread the ring a few turns from the camera face.
  • Page 15 GX1660 User Manual Operating GigE Vision GX cameras using multiple network adaptors The GX series cameras offer two Gigabit Ethernet ports for image data transfer and control. Users can connect one or both ports on the GX to Ethernet adapter ports on a host computer.

  • Page 19 GX1660 User Manual o Download GigE Sample Viewer from www.alliedvisiontec.com. This will install the Sample Viewer application program, drivers, and optionally the Prosilica Filter Driver. The Filter Driver will improve CPU performance and is recommended. o Plug in the GX camera Ethernet cable(s) and power. Verify that the Green LED is a solid green.
  • Page 20 GX1660 User Manual The Green LED is the camera power indicator. If unlit, check the power adaptor. If possible, swap with one that is known to work. If using a custom power adaptor, be sure the adaptor supports the voltage and power requirements of the camera . If the LED still does not light up, contact AVT Canada Inc.

This can happen if you use a non AutoIP range on your NIC and it doesn’t have access to a DHCP server. Either change your NIC IP to be in the AutoIP range, or fix the camera IP address to be on the same subnet as your NIC.
