Precautions

NOTICE
If you are supplying power to the camera via Power over Camera Link (PoCL), you must use a
PoCL compliant frame grabber and you must use Camera Link cables that are specifically
designed for PoCL as specified in the Camera Link standard. Failure to use a PoCL compliant
frame grabber or the correct cables can result in severe damage to the camera.
If you are supplying power to the camera via the 4-pin M5 connector, the voltage of the power to
the camera must be between +10.8 VDC and +13.2 VDC.
1. If the voltage is greater than +13.2 VDC, severe damage to the camera can result.
2. If the voltage is less than +10.8 VDC, the camera may operate erratically.
Applying power with the wrong polarity can result in severe damage to the camera.
NOTICE
Making or breaking Camera Link connections incorrectly can severely damage the camera.
1. If you are supplying power to the camera via the Camera Link connection (PoCL), be sure
that the power to the frame grabber is switched off before you connect or disconnect the
Camera Link cables.
2. If you are supplying power to the camera via the 4-pin M5 connector, switch off the power
supply for the camera before you connect or disconnect the Camera Link cables.
NOTICE
An incorrect plug can damage the 4-pin connector.
The plug on the cable that you attach to the camera's 4-pin connector must have 4 female pins.
Using a plug designed for a smaller or a larger number of pins can damage the
connector.
NOTICE
The lens thread length is limited. If a lens with a very long thread length is used, the camera can
be damaged and will no longer operate properly.
Refer to the Ace Camera Link User's Manual for more details about the maximum lens thread
length.
