1. General
CM-140 MCL/CM-140 PMCL is a monochrome progressive scan CCD camera and the CB-140 MCL/CB-
140 PMCL is the equivalent Bayer mosaic progressive scan CCD camera. Both have 1.45 M pixels
resolutions.
While the MCL version is powered by an external 12-volt supply, the PMCL (Power over Mini-CL)
version is powered by a compatible frame grabber.
These cameras are suitable for a wide range of applications within factory automation, an also for
applications outside the factory floor, such as ITS (Intelligent Traffic Solutions), high-end
surveillance and medical.
The CM-140MCL-UV and CM-140PMCL-UV uses the same 1.45 M pixels CCD but having the
sensitivity in UV area.

For camera revision history, please contact your local JAI distributor.
2. Camera nomenclature
The standard camera composition consists of the camera main body and C-mount protection cap.
The camera is available in the following versions:
CM-140 MCL/MCL-UV/PMCL/PMCL-UV
Where Cstands for "Compact" family, Mstands for "Monochrome", 140 represents the resolution
"1.4 million pixel" , MCL stands for “ Mini-CL”interface , PMCL for “ Power over Mini-CL” and UV
for specific feature, UV sensitive
CB-140 MCL/PMCL
Where Cstands for "Compact" family, Bstands for "Bayer mosaic color", 140 represents the
resolution "1.4 million pixel" , MCL stands for "Mini-CL" interface and PMCL for “ Power over Mini-
CL”
