2.2.3 Hardware Installation Steps When Powering the
Camera with a Separate Power Supply
To install the camera hardware, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the power to the host PC that contains your frame grabber is switched off.
In the following step, you will be removing the plastic seal from the camera's lens
mount. To avoid collecting dust or dirt on the imaging sensor, be sure that the lens
mount is pointing down when you remove the seal.
2. Remove the plastic seal from the lens mount on the camera and mount a lens on the camera.
3. Mount the camera in your test setup.
4. If you obtained the power supply for your camera directly from Basler:
a. Make sure that the power supply is not plugged into an AC outlet. (The power supply must
not have AC power applied to it at this point.)
b. Connect the plug on the power supply's output cable to the 4-pin power connector on the
camera. Make sure that the screw lock on the connector is securely fastened to the camera.
c. Go on to step 5.
If you are using a power supply that was not obtained from Basler:
a. Refer to the Interface chapter in your camera user's manual and locate the information
regarding camera input power. Make sure that your power supply can meet the input power
requirements.
b. In the Interface chapter of the user's manual, locate the information regarding the power
connector on your camera. Make sure that the output cable on your power supply is
correctly wired and that the cable is terminated with the proper type of plug. If the cable is
miswired or the incorrect plug is used, severe damage to the camera can result.
c. Make sure that the power supply is not connected to an AC outlet. (The power supply must
not have AC power applied to it at this point.)
d. Connect the plug on the power supply's output cable to the 4-pin power connector on the
camera. Make sure that the screw lock on the connector is securely fastened to the camera.
e. Go on to step 5.
5. Plug one end of a Camera Link cable into the base SDR connector on the camera and the
other end of the Camera Link cable into the base configuration connector on your frame
grabber.
6. Plug one end of a Camera Link cable into the medium/full SDR connector on the camera and
the other end of the Camera Link cable into the medium/full configuration connector on your
frame grabber.
(Note: if you will be operating you camera in a fashion that only requires the base Camera Link
configuration, it is not necessary to attach a cable to the medium/full connector. For more infor-
mation about when a camera will use the base configuration and when it will use the medium/
full configuration, see the camera user's manual.)
