4. HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
The Boson+ CZ 14-75 includes the 14-75 mm continuous zoom (CZ) lens integrated with the
Boson+ camera module. The CZ lens and infrared (IR) camera module are assembled at the
Teledyne FLIR factory to provide an infinity-focused IR image to the camera. Users must select
an accessory board and connect the power/communication cable for the camera system. It is
configured with a Camera Link® accessory board and power/communication cables in Figure 2
and Figure 4. Datasheet (Doc.# 102-2013-40) for the camera from Teledyne FLIR provides the
list of accessories. The lens controller and the camera need separate power and communication
cables. The input power of the lens controller is 12 VDC, and the input power for the camera
module is 3.3 VDC.

5. QUICK START GUIDE
5.1 Communication Port Selection
Figure 3. USB to RS232 converter and new COM port assigned from Windows OS
A USB-to-RS232 or USB-to-RS422 converter can be used to implement serial communication.
Most computers have USB ports as configurable serial communication ports. After the converter
driver is installed and recognized by the Windows OS, the specific communication port can be
found in the “Device Manager” of the Windows OS. Figure 3 includes a representative USB-to-
RS232 converter and a screenshot of the designated communication port assigned by Windows
OS, the “COM9.” The designated COM port number can then be entered in the settings window
for Terminal emulators.
5.2 Cable Connections
Figure 4 includes the Boson+ CZ 14-75 with the Camera Link® accessory board installed. The
power/comm cable for the lens controller should be connected to the 6-pin Molex PicoBlade
connector (Molex 53261-0671). The micro-USB 3.0 cable should be connected to the Camera
Link accessory board to provide power to the camera and stream the video signal.
