Bonito PRO at a glance
Bonito PRO cameras have a CoaXPress CXP-6 4 × DIN 1.0/2.3 interface and was
developed in accordance with the JIIA CoaXPress Vision Standard Version 1.1.1.
The maximum cable length between the Bonito PRO camera and the host
computer is dependent on the bit rate and the type of coaxial cable. Bonito PRO
cameras are GenICam SFNC Version 2.2 compliant.
Applied standards
JIIA CoaXPress The JIIA is the Japanese machine vision standards body. The JIIA CoaXPress
Technical Committee is responsible for the preparation and maintenance of the
CoaXPress Standard.
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. 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.

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.
Use in medical devices
The camera provides basic adequacy to be used in medical devices, 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. Users who
integrate the camera into an application must comply with the rules and
regulations concerning medical devices.

Precautions
Heat risks
Electrical connections
CAUTION
Burns to skin by a hot camera
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
The phenomenon is commonly known: when walking on a carpet, we get charged.
Touching a door handle, we get an electric shock. 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
Verify all external connections in terms of voltage levels, power requirements,
voltage polarity, and signal integrity prior to powering the device.

Optical components
NOTICE
Heat dissipation
Operation outside the allowed 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 sensor
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
Cleaning optical components
This product can be damaged by some volatile cleaning agents. Avoid cleaning the
image sensor unless absolutely necessary. See Cleaning optical components in this
document.
Allied Vision can clean your camera as a service for you, if necessary. For more
information, contact Allied Vision support at https://www.alliedvision.com/en/

Shock and vibration
Cameras were successfully tested for compliance with:
• IEC 60068-2-6, Sinusoidal vibration testing
• IEC 60068-2-27, Non-repetitive shock testing
• IEC 60068-2-27, Repetitive shock testing
• IEC 60068-2-64, Random vibration testing
Cameras
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
Lenses
Provide the following conditions to keep dirt and droplets out of the optical system
of camera and lens:
• Dust-free environment
• Low relative humidity
•Nocondensation
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.
Deviations from the standard
• The cross-axis motion was not monitored
• Test shocks for random vibration testing were modified from 16 milliseconds
to 11 milliseconds due to limitation of the vibration test table.
NOTICE
If lenses or stress exceeds the range tested
• For heavier or longer lenses, support both the camera and lens
• Apply additional tests
