1. Handling Precautions
The camera must not be used for any nuclear equipment or aerospace equipment 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. Handle the camera with care.
・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.
[About Heat Dissipation]
CIS basically recommends you to use M42 mount or F mount lenses with VCC-12CL4R camera.
Lens mount conversion rings are prepared.
Using 4pcs of M4 screws at the front and fixing the camera on a metal frame also helps to dissipate heat effectively.

5.2. Formula to Calculate Manual Shutter Values
Formula : Exposure Time =Time for 1 line (Please refer to the chart below) ×Address 24 set value + 14.26μs
Camera Mode
Time for 1 line
2Tap Configuration mode
24.512μs
4Tap Configuration mode
12.256μs
8Tap Configuration mode
6.128μs
10tap Configuration mode
5.185μs
※The minimum setting value shall be 1 and the maximum setting value shall be clipped with 3000 or the total line number
for partial settings.
5.3. Manual Shutter Settings at CLK Sync. Mode (FAST Trigger Mode)
・The minimum setting value: 15μs (approximate value)
・The maximum setting value: 200ms (approximate value)
※At long exposure settings, bright spot may be noticeable.
・Setting unit: Per 1μs (approximate value)
※Slight differences may occur since it is generated by 74.25MHz clock.
5.4. Notes for Function Settings
※2 seconds shall be waited after power is turned on for the camera to operate properly.
※We don’t have an assumption that vertical image flip, horizontal image flip, partial settings, and one push auto white
balance trigger commands shall be reflected immediately. Please note that a dummy trigger is needed at trigger mode.
※When camera mode (Tap mode) is changed, please re-set other functions, too.
※When gain is set to over +36dB, image quality deterioration is inevitable. Please evaluate first.

(1) PoCL・・・To be selected when a PoCL frame grabber board is used and power is fed via the frame grabber
board.
(2) CL・・・ To be selected when Non-PoCL frame grabber board is used. Power shall be fed via 12pins circular
connector.
※Please make sure that power is OFF when changing the switch settings. If the switch setting was changed while the
power is ON, it may cause malfunction or damages to the camera.
※There is a mode that exceed the power consumption standard value (4.0W) of PoCL (×1 cable) power feeding.
We recommend to feed the power via both CL1 and CL2 at PoCL, or use 12pins circular connector.

7.9. Fixed Trigger Shutter Mode
□This is the mode to start exposure with external input trigger signals, and set the exposure time with serial
Commands.
□Trigger operation is H Sync., and V-sync. Reset system. The delay time (Exposure Time Delay) from detecting
trigger edge in the camera to actually starting exposure is 2H ~ 3H.
Since the external trigger signals synchronize with camera internal H signals, 1H jitter occurs to Exposure Time Delay.
The trigger pulse with the minimum 1H and more shall be input (Please refer to the table below for the details of 1
line width).

8Tap Configuration mode

10Tap Configuration mode
5.185μs
□There is an exposure time period for approx. 14.26μs at the edge right after the exposure output.
□Triggers can be accepted while outputting images. However, please note that the trigger signal to start the next video
outputting should not be input before the completion of outputting the prior images.
□Trigger input during the exposure time shall be ignored in the camera. (Please refer to (A) in the drawing below.)
Please note that the trigger shorter than 1 frame cycle shall not be used.
