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 to
the connector before you connect or disconnect the Camera Link cables.
NOTICE
The camera’s GPIO line can be set to operate as an input or as an output. Applying incorrect
electrical signals to the camera’s GPIO line can severely damage the camera.
1. Before you connect any external circuitry to the GPIO line, we strongly recommend that you
set the GPIO line to operate as an input or as an output (according to your needs).
2. Once the line is set, make sure that you only apply electrical signals to the line that are
appropriate for the line’s current setting.
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.
