1. The TM-4000CL is available with either 8-bit processing or 10-bit processing. You must specify your choice of configurations when you purchase the camera. 2. The TM-4000CL series consists of the TM-4000CL (monochrome) and the TMC-4000CL (color). Unless otherwise noted, all information contained in this manual is relevant to both models.
External VINIT with pulse width. The duration between pulse edges controls the shutter speed externally. Internal shutter speed control. The speed control varies from 1/125 to 1/16,000 sec. The video signal and FDV starts with internal V reset timing related to shutter speed. TM-4000CL Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras...
• Three-Year Warranty The CCD solid-state image sensor allows the camera to maintain a superior performance level indefinitely while requiring virtually no maintenance. PULNiX backs all of the TM-series cameras with a three-year warranty. Warning: Unscrewing the camera cover or opening the camera in any way will void this warranty unless prior written approval is obtained from the factory.
The TM-4000CL is a compact 2K by 2K camera. Since all the electronics have been packed in a compact package, the outer case of the camera gets hot due to heat dissipation. For optimal performance, PULNiX recommends using a cooling fan to set up a positive air flow around the camera and following the precautions below.
• Make sure the camera has enough open space around it to facilitate the free flow of air. Please contact JAI PULNiX, Inc. at (800) 445-5444 or send an E-mail to imaging@jaipulnix.com if you have any questions. 2.2.2 Connector Pin Configurations 2.2.2 (a)
The 26CL-02-26 cable assembly has been standardized as the Camera Link cable. This cable has a 26-pin connector on both ends. This is a straight-through cable and the pin-out configuration is shown in Table 2 on page 5. Contact PULNiX for cable lengths other than 2 meters.
2.2.4 (b) PULNiX Power Cables If you are using PULNiX power cables such as the 12P-02S, please refer to the 12-pin connector pin- out diagram below. The cable pin-out diagram is shown in Figure 3 below. The color-coded leads use Gray for Ground and Yellow for +12V.
Standard RG-59 type coaxial cable should carry a full video signal for up to 500 feet. The TM-4000CL has a two-row binning mode that can be used to display real-time images on PULNiX’s PVM-942 or PVM-1242 monitors. These monitors are specially modified to accept a 30Hz progressive scan image.
Page 9 Installation The multi-conductor cable 12P-02S from PULNiX can be used to transmit analog video, power, sync. signals, and serial communication. The mini coaxial leads in PULNiX multi-conductor cables are designed for short runs of no longer than 50 feet.
The interline transfer architecture is also important to generate simultaneous shuttering. This is different from full frame transfer architecture which requires a mechanical shutter or strobe light in order to freeze the object motion. TM-4000CL Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras...
CC2 Camera Control line through the Camera Link cable to low (GND) or providing pulse- width control up to 1/15 frames. Please refer to Figure 2.2.2 on page 5 for pin-out information on the 12-pin connector. TM-4000CL Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras...
HD and the internal VINIT is delayed to set up the shutter speed period. The shutter speed is controlled by communication software from “1” to “8.” Video output timing starts right after the internal VINIT and single shots, FDV is output at the internal VINIT timing.

This helps a single frame grabber process multiple images in pipeline processing (sequential process). Note: When the ROI function is not used, make sure that the INTEG/ROI CCL input is kept logic high during Async. pulse width control mode. TM-4000CL Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras...
The TM-4000CL uses a CCD with 7.4 µm x 7.4 µm pixel and two-phase vertical shift register structure. The well capacity is 40,000 electrons. The theoretical dynamic range is 40,000:30 = 1333:1 (60 dB). TM-4000CL Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras...
Normal scanning mode the TM-4000CL is for 2048 x 2048 pixels. The standard speed with dual- channel output is 15 frame/sec at the pixel clock of 40 MHz. The progressive scan reads every line from TM-4000CL Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras...
