5.5.2 Supplying Power Via the 4-Pin M5 Connector
Power can be supplied to the camera via the 4-pin M5 connector on the back of the camera.
Nominal operating voltage is +12 VDC (± 10%) with less than one percent ripple. Power
consumption is as shown in the specification tables in Section 1 of this manual.
Close proximity to strong magnetic fields should be avoided.
See Section 5.2.1 on page 26 for a description of the connector pinouts.
See Section 5.4.2 on page 30 for a description of the cable to be used with the 4-pin connector.
NOTICE
If the voltage of the power to the camera is greater than +13.2 VDC, damage to the camera can
result. 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.
1. Always make sure that the voltage of the power to the camera is within the specified range.
2. Always make sure that the polarity of the applied voltage is correct.
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.
Use of a plug with a different number of pins, can damage the pins in the camera’s 4-pin
connector.
NOTICE
Making or breaking Camera Link connections incorrectly can severely damage the camera.
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.
