1. Handling Precautions
The camera must not be used for any nuclear equipments or aerospace equipments with which mechanical failure or
malfunction could result in serious bodily injury or loss of human life. Our warranty does not apply to damages or defects
caused by irregular and/or abnormal use of the product.
Please observe all warnings and cautions stated below.
Our warranty does not apply to damages or malfunctions caused by neglecting these precautions.
Do not use or store the camera in the extremely dusty or humid places.
Do not apply excessive force or static electricity that could damage the camera.
Do not shoot direct images that are extremely bright (e.g., light source, sun, etc.), and when camera is not in use, put the
lens cap on.
Follow the instructions in Chapter 6, “External connector pin assignment” for connecting the camera. Improper
connection may cause damages not only to the camera but also to the connected devices.
Confirm the mutual ground potential carefully before connecting the camera to monitors or computers. Any AC leaks
from the connected devices may cause damages or destroy the camera.
Do not apply excessive voltage. (Use only the specified voltage.) Unstable or improper power supply voltage may cause
damages or malfunction of the camera.
The voltage ripple of camera power DC +12V±10% shall be within ±50mV. Improper power supply voltage may cause
noises on the video signals.
The rising time of camera power supply voltage shall be less than +10V, Max 60ms. Please avoid noises like chattering
when rising.

7.5. Note for Trigger Shutter Mode
①When the camera is initialized with trigger mode, dummy trigger signals shall be input 3times and more to
make the operation of CMOS stable.
②At trigger shutter mode, if the next trigger is input with a timing to complete exposure within 3H after FVAL
became “L”, the camera may stop outputting its images. When the camera stops operating, or when proper
image data cannot be output, send “SRST”command to re-start the camera.
※There might be a case when video out becomes black (black out).

③At trigger shutter mode, please be carefully noted the reduction of exposure time when the next trigger is
overlapped.
Please refer to the Section 5. Function Settings, Note for Manual shutter control at normal shutter mode.
④Do not input the next trigger during the exposure time with the timing as shown as (A) of Section 7.3.
Do not complete exposure of the next trigger while Reading out with the timing as shown as (A) of Section 7.4.
The next exposure can be started while reading out.
⑤Do not change the output Tap at trigger shutter mode. To change output Tap, change the mode to normal
shutter mode first.
⑥Ineffective lines would occur when exposure starts while outputting video at trigger mode. (Please refer to
Section 7.2. Vertical Sync Timing.

8. Serial Communication Function
The camera can be controlled externally via Camera Link serial communication function.
(1) The settings for RS232C
Baud rate
:115200bps or 9600bps
Data
:8bit
Stop bit
:1bit
Parity
:None
XON/XOFF
:None
(2) Control code
・The control code is ASCII code.
・The control code consists of command, parameter and CR (0x0d) or LF (0x0a). The Camera setting
data (including changes made) can be obtained by executing the command from PC to the Camera.
(3) How to set a Command
{Command Name} {Parameter 1} {Parameter 2} {Parameter 3}…
・Input {Parameter n}
With hexadecimal notation.
Start inputting with “0x” or “0X”.
Case-insensitive (Either a～f or A～F can be input).
Input range: 0x0000～0xFFFF
With decimal notation.
Only “0”～“9”can be input.
Input range: 0～65535
・At initialization, Prompt “>”is indicated after command is processed.
・Input command in capital letters following to the Prompt.
・Letters can be input up to 80 characters.
・Separate between a command and a parameter by one space.
・From the head of input character to the linefeed code CR (0x0d) or LF (0x0a) is analyzed as one command.
・Refer to the Section 5., Function Settings, for the detailed settings of address and data.
・The command from the PC will be received by the camera, and then echoed back.
