Specifications

4.2 SHUTTER CONTROL UNIT (SC-745)- consists of
a manually controlled 8-position BCD switch that deter-
mines the exposure time of the sensor. It connects to
the TM-7CN/TM-7EX via a cable with a PC-6P male
connector that plugs into the 6-pin female connector
socket on the back of the camera. The SC-745 shutter
control is included with the camera.
4.3 POWER CABLES - all power cables use a PC-
12P female connector that fits into the 12-pin male con-
nector on the back of the TM-7CN/TM-7EX camera.
Due to the connector's miniature size, PULNiX recom-
mends purchasing the following pre-assembled cables:
KC-10 10 feet, 4 conductor cable (12V, GND); 12POX
Variable length, 8 conductor cable (12V, GND, Video,
Clock out, Sync out, Async Vinit input l)
Note: Consult PULNiX for custom cable assemblies.
4.4 LENSES - PULNiX offers a wide variety of 2/3
inch format mini lenses. Auto-iris lenses must have a
cable equipped with a PC-6P connector mating into the
6-pin female connector on the back of the camera.
Note: Normally, the TM-7CN and TM-7EX series can-
not do variable shuttering while using an auto-iris lens
because these functions share one 6-pin socket. The
user has to build his own interface in order to use both
an auto-iris lens and a shutter control switch. This is
done by separating the +12VDC, GND and video wires
(for the auto-iris lens), and the D
0, D1, and D2 controls
(for the BCD switch).
4.5 POWER SUPPLIES - PULNiX recommends the
following supplies:
K25-12 110V AC/12V DC, 2.1A power supply
P-15-12 220V AC/12V DC, 2.1A power supply
K50-12 110V AC/12V DC, 4.2A power supply
PD-12P 110V AC/12V DC, 0.5A power supply
SECTION 5 SETUP AND OPERATION
The operation of the TM-7 series requires a lens (mini
or standard C-mount), a 12V DC regulated power sup-
ply, power and video cable assemblies and, if needed,
a shutter control unit. Setup of the camera system is
as follows:
5.1 GETTING STARTED - Please begin by checking
your order to assure that you have received everything
as ordered, and that nothing has been overlooked in
the packing materials. It is a good idea to retain the
original packing cartons for cameras and lenses should
there be a need at a later date to return or exchange
an item. It is also recommended that any equipment
being sent to another location for field installation be
bench tested to assure that everything is fully opera-
tional as a system. The following steps outline the
setup procedure for PULNiX cameras.
5.2 POWER SUPPLY AND POWER CABLE SETUP
The TM-7CN/6CN and TM-7EX/6EX cameras use a
12-pin connector for power input. Consult the data
sheet packed with your camera. Generally Pin #1 is
Ground and Pin #2 is +12V DC. The other pins may
handle a number of other input and output functions;
this will be discussed in subsequent sections. For
users simply providing power through the 12-pin con-
nector, the DC-12P and PD-12P power supplies are
available with the 12-pin mating connector already
attached to the leads from the power supply. For those
using the PULNiX power cables such as the 12P-02,
KC-10, etc., be certain that unused leads are not
touching and that there is no possibility that leads can
short because of exposed wire (s).
The power connector may now be attached to the cam-
era. The 12-pin power connector is keyed and will only
fit in one orientation. Rotate the connector while apply-
ing slight pressure until the keyways line up. You may
now press the connector into place until firmly seated.
The 110V AC line cord may now be placed in the
mains recepticle, and the camera is now powered up.
