[Important]
(Note) Make sure to turn off the power switch of the camera before connecting or disconnecting the camera cable.
If the cable is connected or disconnected while the power is supplied, it may cause the camera troubles.
(Note) Make sure to turn off the camera and connected devices in advance before connecting the camera.
(Note) When a power supply unit other than Takenaka’s product that are separately sold is used, make sure that it complies
with the following rated specifications:
Power supply voltage: DC12V±10%
Current capacity: 400mAor over
Take into consideration the fact that inrush current of about 1Aflows in when power is applied.
Ripple voltage: 50mVp-p or less (recommended value)
Connector: 6 pin connector pin 1 (GND), pin 6 (+12VDC)
(Note) Some power supply units other than TAKENAKA’s products have different layout of power connection pins. Make sure
to check the compatibility of the power supply unit and the camera connection pins in advance.
Carefully note that any failure associated with power application to out-of-specification pins and others is subject to
charged repair.
(4-2) Input of Vinit signal (asynchronous trigger signal)
●How to input Vinit signal
If the camera is used in the asynchronous shutter mode, the Vinit signal (asynchronous trigger signal) must be input
from the user side unit.
The Vinit signal is input from Pin (4) of the “POWER” connector (6 pin connector) on the rear of the camera, or is input
as the CC1 signal from the “Camera Link” connector.
If the camera is connected to the power supply unit PU100 (or PU-97), with a Takenaka’s 12W series cable, connect
the Vinit signal (asynchronous trigger signal) to the trigger input terminal (“EXT” BNC in case of PU-97) of the power
supply unit (PU100).
(Note) OR operation (negative OR) is implemented inside the camera between Vinit1 input signal from Pin (4) of “POWER”
connector and Vinit2 input signal as CC1 signal of “Camera Link” connector (see thefigure below).
(Note) If either one of those are fixed to the L level (active state),
the Vinit signal (logical sum) is also fixed to the L level and
the trailing edge signal cannot be obtained. This would
result in failure in starting up the asynchronous shutter
operation. Make sure to fix the input signal on the unused
side to the H level or to keep it at high impedance level or
open state (no connection).
●LED Vinit signal monitor indicator
When this camera is set in the asynchronous shutter mode, the LED
indicator on the rear panel of the camera lights up in red for one shot
in response to the input of the external trigger signal (Vinit signal).
This allows the user to confirm the state of signal input.
The red LED lights up for a certain period of time (about 100 ms) on
each trailing edge of the trigger input pulse. If a next trigger signal is
input within this period, the lighting time of the LED will be retriggered
and extended.
Since the lighting of the LED responses only to the trailing edge of the
trigger input, it lights up only once for 100 ms even if the trigger input
pulse duration is longer than the one shot time of period.

●Recommended timing of asynchronous shutter
trigger signal (Vinit signal) for preset shutter/pulse width control
For the case of preset shutter mode
, the negative logic pulse is
applied within the width range from 1 H (one
horizontal
synchronous time) to 1ms as described below.
For this case, the
exposure operation starts in synchronization with the trailing
edge (the leading edge of pixel clock in the case of H-
reset
mode) of the internal HD pulse (horizontal synchronous signal)
after and closest to the trailing edge timing of the applied pulse.
For the case of the pulse width control exposure mode, numeric
value of the L level interval of the input Vinit pulse (shown as
Tvinit in the figure) is retrieved in synchronization with the trailing
edge of the
internal HD pulse (the leading edge of pixel clock in
the case of H-
reset mode), and the integer multiple number of H
(one
horizontal synchronous interval) that is closest to the
retrieved Vinit pulse duration is transmitted as nH (the integer
multiple number of pixel clock in the case of H-
reset mode) to
the inside of the camera. Then the shutter speed is determined
in response to the time nH.
Vinit
Tvinit
[For the case of preset shutter mode]
1H(horizontal scan time)≤Tvinit ≤1ms
(Theshutter exposure time is independent of the Vinit width.)
[For the case of pulse width control mode]
nH ≤Tvinit <(n+1)H (n is 1 or larger integer.)
(This isthe pulse width where shutter exposuretime =nH)
Fig. 4-3 Recommended Vinit signal timing waveform
(Note) In the pulse width control mode (without H-reset), the shutter exposure time is almost equal to the integral
multiple number of the horizontal synchronous time (H) that is closest to the Vinit pulse duration. More
specifically, however, the shutter exposure time is indefinite for the time period corresponding to 1H width in
the case of normal external trigger input (i.e. the case where the Vinit signal is not in synchronization with the
horizontal synchronous timing of the camera). It is improved by being employed in “with H-reset” mode
→Refer to the timing chart described in another section for the details.
(Note) When the shutter exposure time is very long (i.e. longer than one vertical synchronous time) in the pulse
width control mode, the S/N ratio of the image will be degraded due to the reduction of dynamic range of CCD
by the accumulation of thermal noise components of CCD image sensor in proportion to the shutter speed
and other factors. Therefore, if a long exposure time is employed, it is recommended to conduct experiments
using realistic exposure times in actual conditions to check for the appropriateness.

●Polarity reversal of Vinit2 input
The input polarity of the triggersignal (Vinit2) to be applied via CC1 of Camera Link can be inverted.
Some capture boards may have the polarity of the trigger signal input from CC1 that is fixed to positive logic (Llevel at
normal / H level at active), which is not compatible with the trigger signal of negative logic input (factory preset polarity
of this equipment). In this case, the input polarity of the trigger signal (Vinit2) via CC1 can be inverted to change from
negative to positive logic by the setting of the camera.
→Refer to “(6-3) How to set operation mode” for the specific setting method.
(Note) The setting of the polarity reversal is valid only for Vinit2. The input polarity of Vinit1 is always negative logic
regardless of this setting.

(4-3) Other input/output circuit
●Strobe signal output circuit
The internal outputcircuit is shown in the
right figure.
(!) The strobe signal of this camera is 3.3V
logic level.
(4-4) Strobe signal in continuous shutter mode
The default setting is OFF (no strobe signal in continuous shutter mode). Refer to the section (6-3) ”How to set operation
mode” for the detailed setting.As to the timing, it is described in section 8 on “Timing chart (vertical timing)”.
[Explanation] Use of strobe signal in continuous shutter mode
In the continuous shutter mode, only the incoming light for the time corresponding to the exposure time of the camera is valid.
Accordingly, when a lighting unit is used in the continuous lighting mode, the lighting in any time other than this exposure time period would
be wasted.
Since this equipment is capable of outputting strobe signal (STRB) even in the continuous shutter mode, this output is used as a trigger to
control a LED light or other lighting units that can be turned on or off, which helps eliminating the lighting during the useless lighting time.
The following benefits are derived from this type of lighting control:
●The consumption of the power to a light can be saved by way of lighting only during the valid time for exposure.
●The occurrence of smear is reduced because no light enters any time other than the exposure time periods.
(Note) When the strobe signal is used in the continuous shutter mode to make ON/OFF control on a lighting source unit,
the following must be taken into consideration:
Wherever possible, use a strobe lighting unit or others that are equipped with a power source separated from that
of the camera (electrically isolated power source) and a trigger input terminal (photo coupler input, etc.). If a lighting
unit that shares a power source or a ground circuit with the camera is turned on or off by the strobe signal, the
image output from the camera mayhave noise due to the influence of the fluctuation of the power supply voltage or
change in the electric potential that occurs at the ON/OFF timing.
Even when the insulation aforementioned is applied, the electromagnetic induction may lead to the occurrence of
noise on the image signal if the electric current of the lighting unit to be control is large. In this case, a measure
must be introduced to reduce electromagnetic induction noise arising from the lighting unit.
(4-5) Test pattern display function
When connecting this camera to an image capture board for the first time,
the use of the test pattern display function of the equipment makes it
easier to confirm that the output timing of the camera and the details of the
signal connection conform to the specifications of the capture board.
When the test pattern function is set to be ON, the imaging device outputs
not pictures but the test pattern as shown on the right.
The pattern is output in 8 bit depth (R,G,B) and is displayed in order of
yellow(255,255,0),blue(102,255,255),green(0,102,0),black(0,0,0),white(255
,255,255),red(255,0,0),orange(255,102,0), purple(51,0,255).
< Switching procedure to output test pattern>
①
Turn a test pattern on by means of serial communication via Camera connector or Camera Link.
②
Confirm that the orange and green lamps of LED displayon the rear panel are blinking alternately.
③
Save settings by means of serial communication, if it is required to display a test pattern at next start-up.
(Note)The output level of the test pattern signal is not influenced by the setting value of Gain and Offset
The factory default setting is OFF. The setting can be changed to ON using serial communication command “H’27” with
the argument [H’01].

(4-6) Monitoring function for internal temperature of camera
This camera is equipped with an internal temperature sensor to monitor the temperature inside the camera housing. This
function makes it possible to use the camera in a safer way even in a harsh environment in terms of temperature, for
example use in the open air. With the use of serial communication commands, this function also works to control the
forced air-cooling fan of the camera and peripheral devices and others.
●How to monitor internal temperature of camera
The following two methods are available for monitoring the internal temperature of the camera:
●
Turn on the MENU display and confirm it by the OSD over the image. (Temperature to be displayed in Celsius)
●
Confirm it by temperature data to be returned in response to the serial communication command ”H’3C,H’3D”.
(Numerical conversion is required separately)
(Note) Carefully note that the temperature data obtained by this monitoring function is not for the ambient temperature but
the internal temperature of the camera.As a general rule, the internal temperature of the camera is higher than the
ambient temperature because of the heat generation associated with the consumed electric power inside the
camera. Even when the temperature monitored by this function exceeds the value of the “Operation ambient
temperature” shown in the specifications of the camera, no operational trouble will be caused as long as the
ambient temperature is lower than the value of the specifications, and sufficient countermeasures against
temperature are taken.
●Detection performance for temperature data
Temperature resolution : 0.5°
Update interval of data : 0.4 sec.
Temperature detection accuracy: ±2°C (-40°C to +85° C), +3 to -2°C (55°C to 125°C)
Effective data range : -55°C to 125°C (as long as the operation ambient temperature of the camera is
within the range defined by the specifications.)
●Temperature data by RS-232C communication
The temperature data to be returned in response to the “H’3C,H’3D” command of RS-232C is generated in the
following format:
[Data format]
The lower 10 bits out of the 16 bits of the returned data are valid.
XXXXXD9D8…D0 (invalid upper 6 bits/valid lower 10 bits as the data)
Db=B’D9D8…D0 in the binary system shows a signed integer value in two’s complement form.
However, the effective range of the temperature data is limited to the following due to the operational restriction of the
temperature sensor:
Effective range of temperature data: -110 (-55°C) to +250 (125°C)
(Note) The accuracy of the values of the temperature data is not guaranteed when the operation ambient temperature is
not within the range defined by the specifications.
[Conversion method from returned data to temperature in Celsius]
The temperature in Celsius is computed as Tc from the following formula where Dt is the signed integer number converted
from the above described 10 bit binary value of “Db=B’D9D8…D0”:
Internal temperature of camera: Tc=Dt × 0.5°C
(Example 1) Where Td, the returned value of the temperature data, is “H’0032” in the hexadecimal system, it is
expressed in the binary system as follows:
Td=H’0032=B’0000.0000.0011.0010
∴Db=B’00.0011.0010 =+50 (Only upper 10 digits of Td are valid.)
Then, Tc is calculated from the following formula: Tc=+50×0.5°C=+25°C

(Example 2) Where Td, the returned value of the temperature data, is “H’03FA” in the hexadecimal system, it is
expressed in the binary system as follows:
Td=H’03F1=B’0000.0011.1111.1010
∴Db=B’11.1111.1010 (Only upper 10 digits of Td are valid.) →Dt=-6 (↓Refer to [Explanation])
Then, Tc is calculated from the following formula: Tc=Dt×0.5°C=-6×0.5°C=-3°C
[Explanation] Example of conversion algorithm from data in the complement number system to signed data
The following example shows how to convert 10 digit data in the complement number system into ordinary signed data:
(1)Whether the value is positive or negative is determined bychecking the uppermost bit (MSB) out of the 10 digit number.
When the MSB is 0, “+” is added, and when it is “1”, “-“ is added to the number (absolute value) to be obtained in
accordance with the below described (2).
(2) The absolute value is obtained from a binary number expressed in the remaining 9 digits including the lowermost bit
(LSB) as follows:
Simplyconvert into an integer number if the MSB is 0 (”+” sign) in accordance with (1).
Reverse each of all the 9 digits and add 1 to the result if the MSB is 1 (“-“ sign) in accordance with (1).
(3) The signed number is obtainedfrom (1) for the sign and (2) for the absolute value.
* In the case of the (Example 2) as above, its sign is “-“ because the MSB is 1 in accordance with (1). The absolute value
is “6” because of (invert(B'11111010)+ 1 = B'00000101 +1 = 5+1 =6) in accordance with (2). Therefore, this value (Dt) is
expressed as “-6” in the ordinary signed number system.
(4-7) Operation confirmation buzzer
The confirmation buzzer bleeps at the time of start-up after power is turned on and others.
The factory default setting is ON. This setting can be changed to cancel the buzzer.
[Procedure for switching buzzer between ON/OFF]
●The setting can be changed to ON using serial communication command “H’28” with the argument [H’01].

for the low speed shutter operation and the partial scan mode.
Table 5-1. Description of electronic shutter operation modes
Shutter mode
No shutter Electronic shutter is not used.
Exposure time of imaging device is equivalent to one frame time.
Exposure is continuously performed for each frame.
Continuous shutter Repeats exposure regardless of external trigger input (Vinit).
Repetition pitch is per frame.
Asynchronous shutter
Electronic shutter is released each time the external trigger is input (Vinit).
The permissible shortest repetition pitch is [exposure time + 1 frame time].
Type of
shutter speed
Normal shutter
(High speed shutter)
Shutter, the exposure time of which is less than one frame time, is used.
The shutter speed can be set as a preset shutter speed at 9 different levels both for the continuous
shutter/asynchronous shutter mode.
(!) As for the shutter speed of the conventional FC series cameras, 8 different levels for the
asynchronous shutter mode.
Low speed shutter The shutter, the exposure time of which is two frames or over, is used.
(Only for continuous shutter mode)
The shutter speed can be set as a preset shutter speed at 9 different levels.
(Note) This camera allows this setting only for the continuous shutter mode.
Pulse width control In case of the asynchronous shutter setting only, the shutter, shutter speed of which corresponds to the
pulse width (during Llevel) of the external trigger input (Vinit) , is released.
Shutter speed can be set as nH (n = 1 or larger integer number) in H (horizontal synchronous time) unit.
[Terminology] Preset shutter ·············This refers to the shutter speed setting other than those specified by the pulse
width control. More specifically, the shutter speed is preliminarily set by the
hypothetical shutter switch positions from “1” to “9” for the continuous shutter
operation or the asynchronous shutter operation. The shutter speed is defined in
the Table 6-1.
[Terminology] Pulse width control·······This is the way of setting or controlling the shutter speed by the width of the Vinit
signal that is externally input in the asynchronous shutter mode.
[Terminology] High speed shutter·······This means the shutter of which shutter speed is shorter than 1 frame time(=1
vertical synchronous time). The shutter speed is set as a preset fixed length of the
9 different levels that are determined by the position of the shutter switch
(continuous shutter and asynchronous shutter).
[Terminology] Low speed shutter ·······This means the shutter of which shutter speed is longer than 1 frame time. The
shutter speed is set as a preset fixed length of the 9 different levels that are
determined by the position of the shutter switch (continuous shutter).
(!) This camera does not support the functions of “low speed/asynchronous shutter” and “partial scan for the central area”.

(5-2) Setting of shutter speed
The shutter speed is determined by assigning “0 - 9” to the shutter switch position or by specifying the shutter speed in H
(Horizontal scan time) unit.
As this camera is not equipped with the substantive shutter setting switch, the shutter speed is specified by means of serial
communication command via serial communication software. →Refer to section 6 for the details.
The shutter speed setting is mainly decided by setting position “0” to ”9” of (Hypothetical) shutter switch.

Fig. 5-2 Conceptual diagram of gain and offset levels
(5-3) Level setting
The level setting is mostly divided into the
following two groups:
●Gain setting
This is to set the gain (amplification ratio)
of the preamplifier between the CCD
imaging device inside the camera to A/D
converter.
●Offset setting
This is to set the offset of the preamplifier
between the CCD imaging device inside
the camera toA/D converter.
→Refer to the next section (Section 6) for
the specific setting method.
(Note) As for the offset setting, it is recommended to use the factory default setting except for a special case.
(Note) Follow the procedure (gain setting →offset setting) if fine tuning of the offset value is required.
(5-4) MGC gain setting value (Manual gain control)
●Variable gain amplifier and integrated gain
The image signal output from CCD is amplified inside the camera
through the following fixed gain amplifier and then through the
variable gain amplifier before being input into theA/D converter.
The left block chart shows this flow.
(Note) The gain value (dB) describedhere is the one based on the CCD output (0 dB) as the baseline.
The equipment is controlled by giving 0 to 255 as the MGC setting value.
The correlation between this setting value and the MGC gain (Preamplifier
gain) is shown in the right graph.
(Note)When the CCD element receives excessive light with a low
gain value of the amplifier, the signals of the nonlinear section of the
CCD element and the preamplifier are output at the high brightness
area due to the restriction of the dynamic range of the CCD light
receiving element.
In this state, unnatural image (Note below) may appear in the
neighborhood of the saturating signal area of the image due to the
characteristic of the nonlinear section.
This phenomenon, which is associated with the saturation characteristic
of the CCD element, is not a failure arising from the camera.
→To eliminate this phenomenon, reduce the amount of light by stopping
down the lens and newly set a higher gain value. Then, the output signal
from the CCD element at the saturating area will be appropriately saturated
into a white level for the output.
(Note)The above described unnatural image represents the following states:
●Black and white look inverted at the saturating area.
●The outline of the saturating area is blurred.
●The saturating area slightly shifts upward or downward.
●The brightness value of the saturating area does not reach 1023. (when in 10 bit output)

2 “H reset” is switched by changing the operation mode of the camera.
(Note) Vsub voltage is appropriately adjusted before shipment, and therefore the setting value should not be changed
without a special reason. If the value is changed by mistake, it can be reset to the factory default by executing
“(6-5) Read out of factory default”.
[Explanation] Vsub voltage
Vsub voltage is the bias voltage (substrate voltage) that serves to control the blooming effect (resulting in blur or running
image at a saturating area) that arises from excessive light getting into CCD.
If a high Vsub voltage is set, the blooming effect can be reduced, although an excessively high voltage leads to a narrower
operation range of CCD because it is associated with a decrease in the saturating voltage of the CCD output.
It is appropriately set before shipment because the optimum Vsub voltage varies by CCD.
