control software. Input voltage is displayed in the Cooling tab of the

CCD Camera control tool in the SIMS. This feature is important

especially if you power the camera from batteries.

Warning:

The power connector on the camera head uses center-plus pin. Although all

modern power supplies use this configuration, always make sure the polarity is

correct if you use own power source.

Mechanical Specifications

Compact and robust camera head measures only 114×114×74 mm

(4.5×4.5×3 inches). The head is CNC-machined from high-quality aluminum

and black anodized. The head itself contains USB-B (device) connector and

12 V DC power plug, no other parts (CPU box, USB interface, etc.), except a

“brick” power supply, are necessary. Integrated mechanical shutter allows

streak-free image readout, as well as automatic dark frame exposures, which

are necessary for unattended, robotic setups. Integrated filter wheel contains 5

positions for standard 1.25-inch threaded filter cells. A variant of filter wheel

with 6 positions for the same filters without cells (only a glass) is also

available.

Internal mechanical shutter Yes, blade shutter

Shortest exposure time 0.09 s (cameras with KAF CCDs)

0,05 s (cameras with KAI CCDs)

Longest exposure time Limited by chip saturation only

Internal filter wheel 5-positions for 1.25" threaded filter cells

6-positions for 1" bolt-secured filters

Shortest exposure time is valid for G2 cameras revision 3 and higher. Cameras

revision 1 and 2 have shortest exposure time two times longer.
