3. Installation
In this section you will find information on the proper means of mounting your camera in your
system, connecting the camera to a frame grabber and power supply, as well as ensuring proper
electrical connections to the camera’s I/O signals.
3.1. Mounting the camera
The camera has 8 mounting holes, 2 each top, bottom and sides. See the mounting hole specifica-
tions in Section 2.4 for their location and specifications.
Ensure that the maximum internal thread depth indicated in Section 2.4 is not exceeded. The
maximum torque which can be applied to the mounting screws is 1.7Nm.
Using screws which are too long or are over-tightened may damage the camera!
3.2. Thermal management
Mounting the camera properly and adequately is required to ensure proper thermal management, which
ensures the best possible image quality. Thermal management means conducting heat away from the
sensor in order to keep it as cool as possible. Heat is one of the primary causes of dark current noise on the
sensor which increases photo response non-uniformity, dark signal non-uniformity, fixed-pattern noise
and other image degrading effects.
The optimal conduction of heat from the sensor to the front and side surfaces is ensured by the design of
this camera. In addition to its internal thermal management design, this camera comes with an active
cooling fan to help maintain a constant operating temperature at any given ambient temperature. How-
ever, it is still necessary to transfer heat away from the camera surfaces by mounting the camera to a solid
metal surface of adequate mass using the mounting holes found on the camera. The attachment of heat
sinks to the camera sides can also aid in the transference of heat.
This camera is designed to operate at an ambient temperature between 0°C and +40°C. Operating the
camera between 40°C and maximum 70°C will result in reduced image performance and camera lifetime.
Do not operate the camera at temperatures above 70°C!
3.3. Mounting a Lens
This camera is equipped with a lens mount designed for use with high-precision industrial lenses. All lens
mounts available for this camera are engineered with specific dimensions and very tight tolerances.
When mounting a lens to the camera, ensure that the lens is held parallel with the lens mount and never
forcibly assert pressure to attach the lens. Ensure that the lens is not cross-threaded to the mount.
Damage to the camera, lens mount and lens may occur!
When mounting an F-mount or L-mount lens (Leica M or equivalent), ensure that the lens is inserted prop-
erly before turning counter-clockwise until the locking tab clicks into place.
When removing an F-mount or L-mount lens, push the locking tab towards the camera body and turn the
lens clockwise.

3.4. Camera connections
The camera connections are laid out on the back panel of the camera as follows:
Power input connection
(Hirose 6-pin)
CoaXPress connection
(75Ω DIN 1.0/2.3 Type)
Control I/O connection
(Hirose 12-pin)
3.4.1 CXP Connections and interface standard
CoaXPress (CXP) is a state-of-the-art high-speed serial data interface developed for machine
vision devices (typically cameras) and hosts (typically frame grabbers) which defines the
plug-and-play detection, device/host setup, transfer of image data, device control and device
power using a single 75 Ohm coaxial cable. The interface between device and host is scalable and
consists of one master connection and optional extension connections to form a complete link.
The CXP connectors on the camera are of type 75 Ohm DIN 1.0/2.3 and conform to the latest CXP
standard specifications. The connections transfer image data, provide for camera control and
power when connected to a CoaXPress 4-port (DIN-4 or BNC-4) framegrabber. Because CXP is a
scalable interface, the user has the possibility to connect 4, 2 or 1 cables.
Fig. 3.2 shows the link configurations supported by the camera’s CXP interface.

3.4.2 Power input connection
The camera power input connector is a Hirose 6 pin connector (part # HR10A-7R-6S) and is used
exclusively to power the camera. Pin layout and configuration are shown in Figure 3.4.

Mating connector: Hirose HR10(A)-7P-6P
Figure 3.4 Power input connector
It is recommended to use a direct current (DC) regulated power supply rated to at least 2 Amps
current with output voltage of 24VDC ±10%.The camera employs a self-recovery fuse for protect-
ing against reverse voltage and overvoltage. However, applying reverse voltage or overvoltage
may damage the camera and void the warranty.
3.4.3 Control I/O connection
The Control I/O Connection is used for supplying the camera with an external TTL trigger input as
an alternative to inputing a trigger signal over the CXP connection. It is also used for supplying an
external strobe output trigger.
Only high quality 75 Ohm coaxial cables should be used without adapters or other couplings as these
deteriorate the high-frequency data signals and may lead to loss of data or a reduction in the maximum
usable cable length. When using multiple cables, all cables should have the same length to within less
than 1 meter tolerance. Please contact your local ISVI Partner for recommendations on proper cabling.
The CXP connection is designed to be plug-and-play. It has mechanisms for automatic camera detection,
link setup and camera/host setup. The order in which multiple cables are connected is not important and
there is no need to connect any particular connection when using fewer than 4 cables. Therefore, the
camera is hot-pluggable and the link will be recovered if there is a loss of connectivity.
Caution: Although the link to the host (frame grabber) will recover, this does not mean that an application
will recover after a loss of connectivity.
Caution: Although it has over-voltage protection, connecting long cables with stored charge may
damage the camera.

3.5 Trigger input circuit
Figure 3.6 shows the trigger signal input circuit of the 12-pin Control I/O connection. The trigger
signal entered is delivered to the internal circuit through a photo coupler.
Trigger pulse width must be a minimum of 1µsec. If trigger pulse width supplied to the camera is
less than the minimum allowed, the trigger signal will be the camera and an image will not be
taken.
