January 12, 2004 TM-4000CL Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras Operation Manual 1 Introduction 1.1 Product Description The PULNiX TM-4000CL series1 consists of dual-tap output, high-resolution, high-speed monochrome progressive scan CCD cameras. 2The interline-type CCD permits full vertical and horizontal resolution of very high speed shutter images and applications. The electronic shutter, which has speeds to 1/16,000 sec., can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control.
PAGE 10
Page 2 Introduction Applications for the TM-4000CL include machine vision, medical imaging, intelligent transportation systems, high-definition graphics, on-line inspection, gauging, character reading, archiving, and highsecurity surveillance. 1.2 Features • Miniaturized and lightweight The printed circuit boards in the TM-4000CL have been arranged based on a new design philosophy. This creates modular electronics for the camera, giving it flexibility.
PAGE 11
Page 3 Introduction • Output The TM-4000CL has a dual tap 10-bit or 8-bit Camera Link output. The analog output is 714 mVp-p composite video (75 ohms) on all models. • Dual-Channel Auto Black Level Balancing and Auto Gain The TM-4000CL, as a dual-tap output camera, has dual-channel auto black level balancing and auto gain balancing functions. • Integration The TM-4000CL is capable of capturing high-resolution integration images.

Page 4 Installation 2 Installation The following instructions are provided to help you to set up your camera quickly and easily. We suggest that you read through these instructions before you unpack and set up your camera system. 2.1 Getting Started 2.1.1 Unpacking Instructions We recommend that you save the original packing cartons for the cameras and accessories in case you need to return or exchange an item.
PAGE 13
Page 5 Installation • Mount the camera on a large heat sink (camera bracket) made out of heat-conductive material like aluminum. • Make sure the flow of heat from the camera case to the bracket is not blocked by a non-conductive material like plastic. • Make sure the camera has enough open space around it to facilitate the free flow of air. Please contact JAI PULNiX, Inc. at (800) 445-5444 or send an E-mail to imaging@jaipulnix.com if you have any questions. 2.2.2 Connector Pin Configurations 2.2.

PAGE 17
Page 9 Installation The multi-conductor cable 12P-02S from PULNiX can be used to transmit analog video, power, sync. signals, and serial communication. The mini coaxial leads in PULNiX multi-conductor cables are designed for short runs of no longer than 50 feet. Note: Make sure that no extraneous wires are visible which could cause a short. 2.2.6 Attaching the Camera Lens The TM-4000CL camera accepts 1.2" or larger format size C-mount lenses.

Page 11 Operation The TM-4000CL outputs the progressive-scanned image with an electronic shutter in two different formats: 1. Progressive-scanning digital and analog output The CCD signal goes through A/D and D/A converters and through 10-bit in, 10-bit or 8bit out look-up table (LUT). The analog output is the same as 75 ohms, 714mVp-p format available from BNC and 12-pin connector. The digital output is available via the Camera Link connector. 2.

VINIT HD INT.
PAGE 21
Page 13 Operation 3.5.2 External VINIT With Pulse Width No-Delay Shutter and ROI (Read-out Inhibit) (TM-4000CL) For multiple-camera applications such as 2D or 3D measurement and multi-angle inspection, simultaneous image capturing at an exact shutter timing for all cameras is a critical requirement. The TM-4000CL’s asynchronous pulse-width control mode provides no-delay shutter as standard.

Page 15 Operation A typical CCD camera does not use the full dynamic range due to the nominal gain and the output specification such as RS-170. The typical CCD camera’s gain is set at 16 to 22 dB and the RS-170 video level is 714 mV. Using 20 dB gain for the calculation, CCD output is limited to 714/10 = 71.4 mV. Since the CCD’s saturation voltage is 400 mV to 500 mV, it uses less than 1/5 of the full dynamic range.
