Caution
Case may become hot!
The user is responsible to take care for an appropriate cooling.
To prevent the Argos3D-P220 from overheating, it is strongly recommended, to keep away nearby objects.
This guarantees a constant airflow for proper cooling. This bounding box may be violated, when other
cooling techniques are provided.

4Interface Description
4.1 Signal naming
Signal names are usually written in capital letters. They are noted in positive logic (positive asserted). If the
signal is negative asserted an “n” will be added as prefix to the signal name.
Type:
The type describes the electrical characteristics of the signal. The following types are available:
•I Input
•O Output
•DN Negative Differential I/O
•DP Positive Differential I/O
•P Power supply
•3.3V TTL TTL compatible signal with 3.3V high level and 0V low level.
•50V tolerant Accepts input voltage levels up to 50V (2.5V high voltage threshold)

4.2.2 Power supply
The power supply pins are protected against wrong polarity.
Voltage range: 16V to 52V.
Note
Use inherently limited power sources only!
4.2.3 DIO
The digital Input-Output interface has an optical isolated input and output stage. Driven by the GPIOs 1
(output) and GPIO 3 (input). See the Software User Manual specifications for GPIO functionality.
The output stage is a solid state relais, and gives the possibility to use the output as a simple switcher. The
current is limited to 200mA.
If this interface is used as input, the corresponding output must be set to logically 0. Otherwise the input is
constantly shorted. The maximum LOW input detection voltage is 2V, the minimum HIGH input detection
volte is 5V.
4.2.4 Trigger In
The trigger Input is not optically isolated to minimize the propagation delay. But the input is protected
against 50V clamp voltages. A standard 3.3V TTL signal should be used.
4.2.5 RS485 Mounting Option
For some Applications a RS485 communication could be needed. Therefore the internal hardware could be
modified to route the RS485-A and –B signals to the connector in state of DI (RS485-A) and DIGND (RS485-
B).
Ask BECOM BLUETECHNIX for custom modifications.

1) Note
Valid for a frame-rate of 30fps and an integration time of 3500µs. The input current depends on
the applied frame-rate and integration time.
2) Note
The maximum operating temperature depends on the frame-rate and integration time.
3) Note
The connector is used as section point.
6.1.1 Input current
The average input current depends on the selected frame-rate (fps) and the integration time (tINT). The
following figure shows typical values. The values on the x axis shows the FITP which has been calculated
with the following equation:

The temperature on the casing can be reduced by mounting an additional heat sink on the cooling plate.
Caution
The user is responsible to take care for an appropriate cooling if the Argos camera is mounted
into a case.
Caution
Be careful to not stress the device beyond the limits, otherwise you may damage the device.
