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.

Camera applications and intended use
General use
• The user is responsible for operating the camera within the specifications
defined in the technical manual, and within appropriate environmental
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.

8
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 finished 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.

9
• 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, it 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
in cooperation with Allied Vision. Users who integrate the camera into an
application must comply with the rules and regulations concerning medical
devices.
Environmental conditions
The following values present environmental conditions that are safe for all
Bonito PRO cameras.
Condition Value
Operation (housing temperature) -20 °C to +70 °C (without condensation)
Storage (ambient temperature) -20 °C to +70 °C (without condensation)
Relative humidity, non-condensing 20 to 80% non-condensing

Overview of installation
Complete the steps listed below to successfully install your Bonito PRO camera.
Step 1: Install and configure the frame grabber.
Step 2: Connect the camera and ensure the camera is powered.
Step 3: Acquire your first image with the frame grabber software.
Installing and configuring the frame grabber
The procedure to obtain first image from your Bonito PRO camera is dependent
on the frame grabber GenICam browser or SDK.
The maximum cable length between the Bonito PRO camera and the host PC is
dependent on the bit rate and the type of coaxial cable used. For more
information refer to your frame grabber documentation.
Install the frame grabber in your host PC and configure the frame grabber
software including drivers, utilities, and libraries. Ensure the system BIOS
version is compatible with the frame grabber. For additional information, see
the technical documentation provided by the frame grabber manufacturer.

11
Connecting and powering the camera
Connect your Bonito PRO camera to your frame grabber via four 75Ωcoaxial
cables.
Bonito PRO cameras support CXP-6 speeds only. As such, all four cables must be
connected to the camera and the frame grabber. If less than four cables are
connected, the camera will not be discovered and you may receive an error in
the GenICam browser.
Power the camera via the Hirose I/O port using a compatible power supply.
Alternatively, you can power the camera via the CoaXPress connectors with a
frame grabber that supports PoCXP. If both power options are connected,
power via the Hirose I/O port will take priority.
Hirose 12-pin connector: colors and pins for power supply
When connecting an open-ended cable to a Hirose 12-pin connector, ensure
that the pins are connected to the correct wire as described in the table below.
Note that for powering up the camera, the power connection is necessary only.
