†† Power consumption will increase with reduced ROI imaging and color interpolation.
††† Nominal operating voltage is 12V. Cameras have been tested at 12V.
* See Notes on Triggering in the Addendum.
***DUE TO THE SMALL PACKAGING AND HIGH SPEED OF THE GB CAMERAS, SPECIAL
CARE IS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN A REASONABLE OPERATING TEMPERATURE. IF THE
CAMERA IS TO BE OPERATED IN A WARM ENVIRONMENT, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE
CAMERA BE MOUNTED ON A HEAT SINK SUCH AS A METAL BRACKET AND THAT
THERE IS SUFFICIENT AIR FLOW.

rear view. 14 GND SIGNAL
The General Purpose I/O port uses a 3M 10214-55G3PC (or 3M 10214-6212PC) connector on
the camera side. The mating cable connector is 3M 10114-3000PE with shielded housing 3M
10314-3210-00X (X indicates color preference). This connector can be purchased from Prosilica
or from http://www.digikey.com.
See Addendum for more detail.
DO NOT EXCEED 5.5V ON SIGNAL INPUTS UNLESS OTHERWISE
INDICATED. SYNC INPUT 1 CAN BE DRIVEN FROM A HIGHER VOLTAGE IF
A CURRENT LIMITING RESISTOR IS USED TO LIMIT THE CURRENT TO
LESS THAN 10 MILLIAMPS.
