Avoid electromagnetic interferences
For all power and interface connections, only use shielded cables or cables
recommended by Allied Vision.
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 or 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.

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 produces 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.
• For usage in product with specific safety requirements a Quality Assurance
Agreement with Allied Vision is required.
• The camera is intended for use in a commercial, industrial, or business
environment. The test phase and programming should be carried out by
advanced users.
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. For
usage in medical product, a Quality Assurance Agreement with Allied Vision is
required. Users who integrate the camera into an application must comply with the
rules and regulations concerning medical devices.

Installation and hardware
This chapter describes the components required for
your vision system including configuring the host
computer, frame grabber settings, and connecting
your Bonito PRO camera.

Installation and hardware

Precautions
Heat risks
Electrical connections
CAUTION
During operation, cameras get hot. Touching a hot camera with bare hands may
lead to injuries.
• For operation, keep the camera temperature below +70 °C.
• Ensure that instructed persons only handle cameras.
• Wear protective gloves when touching a heated-up camera.
NOTICE
ESD is dangerous for electronic devices, especially when tools or hands get in
contact with connectors. We recommend measures to avoid damage by ESD:
• Unpacking: Remove the camera from its anti-static packaging only when your
body is grounded.
• Workplace: Use a static-safe workplace with static-dissipative mat and air
ionization.
• Wrist strap: Wear a static-dissipative wrist strap to ground your body.
• Clothing: Wear ESD-protective clothing. Keep components away from your
body and clothing. Even if you are wearing a wrist strap, your body is grounded
but your clothes are not.
NOTICE
Do not operate the camera beyond the environmental specifications. See
environmental specifications limits in the Specifications chapter of this document.
Special care must be taken to maintain a reasonable operating temperature.
NOTICE
Verify all external connections in terms of voltage levels, power requirements,
voltage polarity, and signal integrity prior to powering the device.

Installation and hardware
18Bonito PRO Technical Manual V1.0.4
Optical components
NOTICE
Heat can cause damage to the camera. Operation outside the specified
temperature range can damage the camera. For best performance and to protect
the camera from damage, keep the housing temperature between the specified
operating temperature.
Observe the following:
• Keep the camera passive cooling fins free of dust and other contaminants.
• For maximum heat dissipation, affix the camera to a heat sink, using the
mounting threads.
- Use mounting base and heat sink with large surface areas.
- Use a mounting base with a high thermal conductivity.
• Reduce ambient temperature. For example, in an outdoor application with
direct sunlight, provide shading by an enclosure.
• Provide ventilation or other active cooling of camera, mounting base, and heat
sink.
NOTICE
Image sensors are sensitive to excessive radiation: focused sunlight, lasers, and
X-rays can damage the sensor. Monochrome and NIR models are not fitted with
filter or protection glass. Consider, when removing the lens or dust cap on these
cameras, the sensor is not protected against dirt or scratches.
NOTICE
The Bonito PRO camera can be damaged by some volatile cleaning agents. Avoid
cleaning the image sensor unless absolutely necessary. See the Cleaning optical
components chapter in this document.
Allied Vision can clean your camera as a service for you, if necessary. For more
information, contact Allied Vision support.
NOTICE
Provide the following conditions to keep dirt and droplets out of the optical system
of camera and lens:
• Dust-free environment
• Low relative humidity
• No condensation
To keep dirt out of the lens mount, hold the camera with the lens mount facing the
ground. Keep filter and camera back lens clean, because dirt becomes more visible
the closer it gets to the sensor.

Installation and hardware

Planarity mounts
Cameras and lens load
We tested one Bonito PRO X-1250B with an EF-Mount PA and one Bonito PRO
X-1250B NIR with an F-Mount (non-PA).
Lens simulators
Lens simulators were used to simulate lenses.
NOTICE
As monochrome and NIR models do not have an optical filter always attach a dust
cap when a lens is not attached to minimize the possibility of contaminants falling
on the sensor surface.
NOTICE
Modifying the factory default adjustment is under the responsibility of the user.
Exercise caution when modifying the planarity adjustment. Use a 1.5 mm hex ball
driver to loosen the three spring loaded screws, adjust the tilt adjustment screws
as required, then secure the screws.
Feature Properties
General description The lens simulators were made from aluminum.
Length 43 mm, from the lens mount front flange to the front face of the lens simulator.
Center of gravity 20.4 mm, out from the lens mount front flange along the z-axis.
Mass Approximately 517 grams each.
Table 5: Lens simulators properties
NOTICE
If lenses or stress exceeds the range tested
• For heavier or longer lenses, support both the camera and lens.
• Apply additional tests.
