M5xx Camera Connection (Older Terminal Blocks)
This camera uses three cables, one for Ethernet, one for power, and one for trigger signals. To con-
nect power, use the optional Hirose 6-pin unterminated cable (part number 606-0672-xx) without a
terminal block. Table 1 shows the power connections, table 2 shows the trigger connections.
To connect trigger signals, use one of two methods: a terminal block with a cable or an untermi-
nated cable. Use a terminal block (248-0136) with the optional Hirose 12-pin to HD-15 camera
cable (606-0673-xx). Without a terminal block, use the optional Hirose 12-pin to unterminated
cable (part number 606-0671-xx).
NOTE: Do NOT use the M2xx/M3xx terminal block (248-0141) to connect this camera. It will
NOT provide the correct signal levels.
NOTE 1: Pins 1 and 2 are tied together inside of the camera. Pins 5 and 6 are tied together inside of the camera. To avoid
a voltage drop when you use long wires between the power supply and the camera, we recommend providing camera
power VCC through separate wires between the power supply and camera pins 1 and 2. We also recommend providing
camera power ground through separate wires between the power supply and pins 5and 6 on the camera.
