Camera Interface
2.7 Converting Camera Link Output to RS-644
with a k-BIC (A402
On the A400k, video data is output from the camera in Camera Link LVDS format and parameter
change commands are issued to the camera using RS-644 serial communication via the frame
grabber. On older cameras, video data was output using an RS-644 LVDS format and commands
were issued using RS-232 serial communication via the host PC. The output from A402k cameras
can be converted to the older style of output by using a Basler Interface Converter for k-series
cameras (k-BIC). The k-BIC is a small device which attaches to the A402k with a Camera Link
compatible cable. For complete information on the k-BIC, refer to the k-BIC User's Manual and
the k-BIC Installation Guide that are available at www.basler-vc.com.

2.8 DC Power

A400k cameras require 12 VDC (±10%) power. The maximum power consumption is 6.5 / 7.0 /
7.5 W for the A402k / A403k / A404k respectively. The maximum current during constant operation
is 833 mA. Peak currents may occur. We recommend to use 1.5 A power supplies. Ripple must
be less than 1%.
Also, note the information about the 6-pin connector in Section
Section 2.2.2.
A Hirose plug will be shipped with each camera. This plug should be used to connect
the power supply cable to the camera.
For proper EMI protection, the power supply cable attached to this plug must be a
twin-core shielded cable. Also, the housing of the Hirose plug must be connected to
the cable shield and the cable shield must be connected to earth ground at the
power supply.
Make sure that the polarity is correct.
