Mako G at a glance
Mako G cameras have a GigE compliant port and work with Gigabit Ethernet
hardware and cable lengths up to 100 meters. Mako G cameras are GigE Vision
V1.2 and GenICam SFNC V1.2.1 compliant.
Applied standards
GigE Vision® The GigE Vision standard is an interface standard for digital machine vision
cameras administered by the AIA that is widely supported in the machine vision
industry. In contrast, Gigabit Ethernet is the network GigE Vision is built upon.
GenICam™ GenICam is a machine vision standard hosted by the EMVA. The aim of GenICam is
to provide a generic configuration interface for cameras and devices independent
of the used interface technology (for example, GigE Vision, USB3 Vision, DCAM
IEEE 1394, Camera Link). This approach enables proper interoperability between
GenICam compliant hardware and software solutions without the need for
customization.
The GenICam standard consists of multiple modules that specify tasks to be solved.
Allied Vision cameras and software make use of these modules, like the SFNC that
standardizes feature names and types via an XML file or the transport layer
interface (GenTL) that is used to grab images.

CAN ICES-003
Allied Vision has demonstrated the fulfillment of the requirements relating to the
Mako G camera family:
• Directive 2014/30/EU (Electromagnetic compatibility)
• Directive 2011/65/EU, including amendment 2015/863/EU (RoHS)
• Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE)
Class B digital device
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
We caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.

Compliance and intended use
19Mako G Technical Manual V4.4.0
Avoid electromagnetic interferences
For all power and interface connections, only use shielded cables or cables
recommended by Allied Vision.
Camera applications and intended use
General use
• The user is responsible for operating the camera within the specifications that
are defined in this document, and within appropriate environmental conditions
and technical prerequisites, to ensure trouble-free camera operation.
• The camera is compliant with current data communication standards; however,
those standards do not allow for self-monitoring. Thus, the camera cannot be
used as a standalone device for security-related monitoring operations.
• The camera is a hardware product. Only when used with appropriate
accompanying software, the camera will produce the desired results. The
realization of intelligent solutions requires additional software that is suitable
to run with the camera.
• The camera is a component, it is neither a complete product, nor is it a ready-
made technical solution.
• The camera-supporting software can be obtained and installed separately from
the camera. Usage of the software is solely the responsibility of the user.
• The camera must not be opened. For all repair tasks, contact Allied Vision or
one of Allied Vision's authorized representatives.
• Observe the intended use. The camera must only be used for purposes that are
in conformity with the stated intended use.
• Additionally, refer to the warranty information on the Allied Vision website.
Use in medical devices
The camera provides basic adequacy to be used in medical devices as well,
however, is not specially designated for operation in medical devices. When used
as part of a medical device, a review of the specific application is necessary. Users
who integrate the camera into an application must comply with the rules and
regulations concerning medical devices.
