1.1. About This Manual
This manual contains basic information about the camera, product features, function
introduction, and care and maintenance, which is TUCSEN's internal document and
published content to make it easier for users to use TUCSEN cameras. This
document is disclosed only for the purposes stated above and does not constitute a
license, assignment or any other right of the owner. All risks and results of using this
document remain up to the user.
This document may include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors, and no
warranty is given for any damages resulting from such technical or typographical
errors. TUCSEN makes no commitment to update or maintain the information
currently contained in this document.
All brand and product names appearing in the documentation are trademarks or
registered trademarks of their respective owners. TUCSEN reserves all rights to the
copyright of the documents.
1.2. Cautions
Operation & Usage
Note
Do not drop, disassemble, repair or replace the internal
components by yourself. Failure to do so may damage the camera
device or cause electric shock.
If liquids such as water, beverages or chemicals enter the
equipment, stop using it and contact the nearest distributor or
manufacturer for technical assistance.
Do not touch the device with wet hands as this may result in
electric shock.
Do not allow children to touch the equipment without supervision.

Technical Support Email: [email protected] TEL: [phone]-818 Fax: [phone]-826
5
Make sure that the camera is used at the specified temperature
range. Otherwise the equipment may be damaged due to extreme
temperatures.
Installation & Maintenance
Note
Do not install it in a dusty and dirty area or near an air conditioner
or heater to reduce the risk of damage to the camera.
Avoid installation and operation in extreme environments where
vibration, high temperatures, humidity, dust, strong magnetic fields,
explosive/corrosive gases or gases are present.
Do not apply excessive vibration and shock to the equipment. This
may damage the equipment.
Avoid direct exposure to high intensity light sources and UV
irradiation, etc. This may damage the image sensor.
Do not install the equipment under unstable lighting conditions.
Severe lighting variations can affect the quality of the images
produced by the equipment.
Do not use solvents or thinners to clean the surface of the
equipment, as this can damage the surface of the housing.
Power Supply
Note
Please use the original power adapter of the camera, using a
mismatched power supply will damage the camera.
If the voltage applied to the camera is greater or less than the
nominal voltage, the camera may be damaged or not work
properly.
Please refer to the specification sheet for the nominal voltage of
the camera.
Make sure the power is turned off before connecting the power
cord to the camera. Otherwise, the camera may be damaged.

3. Installation
This chapter will introduce the installation of the camera, the frame grabber, and the
software, and how to connect the water-cooled camera to the water cooler.
3.1. Camera Installation
Connect one end of the CXP cable to the frame grabber and the other end to the
Dhyana 9KTDI camera (it is recommended to use a removal tool to assist in installing
the CXP cable). Lock the retaining ring, then plug in the power cable and turn on the
power switch to see the light come on.

Note:
When wiring, please ensure that the serial numbers of the 4 CXP ports on the camera
should correspond to the serial numbers of the frame grabber ports.
3.2. Frame Grabber Installation
Power off the computer and open the cover of the host as shown in Figure 3-2. Install
the frame Grabber into a PCIe slot with a transfer bandwidth greater than 850MB/s,
secure it with screws and then power on the computer. The maximum transfer frame
rate for different PCIe slots is shown in Table 3-1.
