The Terminal Connector
66 Basler IP Camera
The pin numbering for the terminal connector on the camera is as shown below.
The pinout for the terminal connector is as described in Table 3.
Pin Function Description
1 Ground Ground (for camera power, for the I/O signals, and for the RS-232 serial port)
2 Camera Power Use this connection to supply power to the camera (if you are not supplying
camera power via PoE).
Nominal operating voltage: +12 VDC
Voltage applied: between +7 and +20 VDC
Maximum power consumption: 5 W
3 Input Normally, the input is connected to ground via a switch as shown in Figure 6 on
page 68. As shown in the table below, the input will be detected by the camera as
active or inactive depending on whether the switch is open or closed and whether
the input mode is set to normal or inverted.
See Section 3.8.1 on page 45 for more information about setting the input mode.
Switch Condition Input Mode Input Detected As
Open Normal Inactive
Closed Normal Active
Open Inverted Active
Closed Inverted Inactive
As an alternative, voltage from a device can be applied directly to the input. As
shown in Figure 7 on page 69, the voltage should be applied directly to the input
and not through a switch. As shown in the table below, the input will be detected
by the camera as active or inactive depending on the voltage level applied and
whether the input mode is set to normal or inverted.
Voltage Applied Input Mode Input Detected As
0 to +2.6 VDC Normal Active
+5.7 to +24.0 VDC Normal Inactive
0 to +2.6 VDC Inverted Inactive
+5.7 to +24.0 VDC Inverted Active
The area between +2.6 and +5.7 is a transition zone and should be avoided. The
voltage applied to the input must not exceed +24 VDC.
