The Terminal Connector
Basler IP Camera 67
We recommend that connections to the input and the output be made with shielded cable and that
the cable shields be connected to ground. If you are unable to connect the cable shields to ground
or if you use unshielded cable, we recommend that you install a ferrite bead on each cable near to
the camera to minimize electromagnetic interference.
4 Output The output employs an open collector transistor connected to ground as shown in
Figure 6 on page 68. As shown below, the output will or will not be connected to
ground via the transistor depending on the state of the output and whether the
output is set for the normal or the inverted mode.
See Section 3.8.1 on page 45 for more information about setting the output mode.
Note: If the output has been set to the inverted mode and you restart the camera
or you power it off and back on, the output will be in the normal mode during the
camera bootup process and will return to the inverted mode once the bootup
process is complete.

The maximum load is 100 mA and the maximum voltage is +24 VDC.
If an inductive load such as a relay is used with the output, a diode must be
connected in parallel with the load as shown in Figure 6.
5 RS-232 Transmit RS-232 transmit.
Note: RS-232 transmit on the camera should be connected to RS-232 receive on
your device.
6 RS-232 Receive RS-232 receive.
Note: RS-232 receive on the camera should be connected to RS-232 transmit on
your device.
