Mechanical Specifications

Dimensions and Mounting Points

Bare Board Variant (daA1600-60um/uc only)

Mechanical Dimensions (in mm) for Bare Board Camera Models

On daA1600-60um/uc camera models, side-fill material (Loctite E1172A 15G) is injected beneath the sensor. The side-fill material is visible around the sensor. This material optimizes the mechanical robustness of the camera and does not impair camera operation.

Electrical Requirements

Danger

Electric Shock Hazard

Electric Shock Hazard Unapproved power supplies may cause electric shock. Serious injury or death may occur.
  • You must use power supplies that meet the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) and Limited Power Source (LPS) requirements.
  • If you use a powered hub or powered switch, they must meet the SELV and LPS requirements.

Warning

Fire Hazard

Fire Hazard Unapproved power supplies may cause fire and burns.
  • You must use power supplies that meet the Limited Power Source (LPS) requirements.
  • If you use a powered hub or powered switch, they must meet the LPS requirements.

Notice

Voltage outside of the specified range can damage the camera module.

You must supply camera and I/O power within the safe operating voltage ranges specified below.

Camera Power

You must supply camera power that complies with the Universal Serial Bus 3.0 specification.

The nominal operating voltage is 5 VDC, effective on the camera module's connector.

General Purpose I/O Lines

The camera module has two direct-coupled GPIO lines that are accessed via contact 3 and 4 of the I/O connector on the back of the board.

The GPIO lines have the following characteristics:

If you require a specific output logic level at all times, add a suitable pull-up or pull-down resistor. If you use a pull-down resistor, the resistor value should be 1.8 kΩ or greater so that the current limit is not exceeded.

Notice

Applying incorrect electrical signals to the GPIO lines may severely damage the camera module.

Before you connect any external circuitry to the GPIO lines, use the Line Mode feature to configure the line as an input or output line.

If a GPIO line is configured as an output line, never short-circuit the line.

Before you apply signals to the GPIO lines, connect the camera module to a USB port.

Make sure to apply appropriate input or output signal voltages as specified below.

Operation as Input

Voltage

Description

4.2 VDC Absolute maximum. This voltage must never be exceeded. Doing so may damage the device and voids the warranty.
0–3.4 VDC Safe operating range.
0–0.7 VDC Indicates a logical 0 (with inverter disabled).
1.8–3.4 VDC Indicates a logical 1 (with inverter disabled).
  • Maximum input leakage current: 10 μA
  • Internal pull-up resistor: 25 kΩ typical, 7 to 41 kΩ.
  • To increase the voltage allowed on the I/O input lines, attach the optional dart I/O board. The I/O board makes the camera module compatible with TTL input signals.

Operation as Output

Voltage

Description

3.4 VDC Absolute maximum. This voltage must never be exceeded. Doing so may damage the device and voids the warranty.
0–0.5 VDC Indicates a logical 0 (with inverter disabled).
2.4–3.3 VDC Indicates a logical 1 (with inverter disabled).
Maximum current allowed through the output circuit: 2 mA

USB 2.0 Compatibility

All Basler dart USB 3.0 camera modules are USB 2.0 backward compatible.

However, performance is limited when connected to a USB 2.0 port:

For information about suitable USB 2.0 host controllers and about optimizing the USB 2.0 data transmission rate, see the Recommended USB 2.0 Host Controllers for Basler dart and pulse Cameras application note.

Physical Interface

Connectors and Status LED

Camera Connectors and LED Indicator

I/O connector 6-pin socket connector with a 1.27-mm pitch dual-row receptacle. Provides access to the I/O lines.
USB 3.0 connector USB 3.0 Micro-B connector. Provides a nominal 5 Gbit/s SuperSpeed data transfer connection.
Status LED Indicates operation:
  • LED is blinking slowly: Device is being configured.
  • LED is lit permanently: Device is configured and operative.
  • LED is blinking rapidly: Internal error.

The LED can be turned off permanently by setting the DeviceIndicatorMode parameter to Inactive.

USB 3.0 Connector

Camera USB 3.0 Connector

The camera module's USB 3.0 connector is a standard Micro-B USB 3.0 connector. It provides a USB 3.0 connection to supply power to the device and to transmit video data and control signals.

Connection assignments and numbering adhere to the Universal Serial Bus 3.0 standard. The recommended mating connector is any standard Micro-B USB 3.0 plug.

Depending on how you integrate the Basler dart into your system, you must select a corresponding USB 3.0 connector that matches the orientation of the dart USB 3.0 connector in the mounted position. The orientation of the USB 3.0 connector is shown in the figure above.

I/O Board

The dart I/O board is available from Basler. It has the following benefits:

The board can be mounted on the back of the Basler dart circuit board. The connectors of the I/O board replace the standard I/O connector.

Contact your Basler sales representative to order the dart I/O board.
