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.

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.

Notice

Incorrect voltage can damage the camera.

  • You must supply camera and I/O power within the safe operating voltage ranges specified below.
  • Do not use negative voltage for an I/O line.

Camera Power

You can supply camera power either via Power over CoaXPress (PoCXP) or via the camera's I/O connector using an external power supply (AUX power).

Opto-Coupled I/O Input Line

Voltage Description
30 VDC Absolute maximum. This voltage must never be exceeded. Doing so may damage the camera and voids the warranty.
0–24 VDC Safe operating range.
0–1.4 VDC Indicates a logical 0 (with inverter disabled).
>1.4–2.2 VDC Region where the logic level transition occurs; the logical status is not defined in this region.
>2.2 VDC Indicates a logical 1 (with inverter disabled).
Input current: 5–15 mA

General Purpose I/O Lines

Notice

Applying incorrect electrical signals to the camera’s GPIO line can severely damage the camera.

Before you connect any external circuitry to the GPIO line, use the Line Mode parameter to configure the line for input or output.

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

Operation as Input

Voltage Description
30 VDC Absolute maximum. This voltage must never be exceeded. Doing so may damage the camera and voids the warranty.
0–5 VDC Safe operating range. The minimum external pull-up voltage is 3.3 VDC.
0–0.8 VDC Indicates a logical 0 (with inverter disabled).
>0.8–2.0 VDC Region where the logic level transition occurs; the logical status is not defined in this region.
>2.0 VDC Indicates a logical 1 (with inverter disabled).
  • Input current (high-level): <100 μA
  • Input current (low-level): <5 mA sink current from the GPIO input line without exceeding 0.8 VDC.

Operation as Output

Voltage Description
30 VDC Absolute maximum. This voltage must never be exceeded. Doing so may damage the camera and voids the warranty.
3.3–24 VDC Safe operating range.
<3.3 VDC Unreliable GPIO output.
  • Internal pull-up resistor: ≈650 Ω, with open collector. Many applications will have to provide an additional pull-up resistor.
  • Residual voltage ("on" state): ≈0.4 V at 50 mA and 25 °C  (77 °F) housing temperature. Actual residual voltage depends on operating temperature, load current, and production spread of electronic components.
  • Leakage current: <60 µA. Actual leakage depends on operating temperature and production spread of electronic components.
  • Maximum load current: 50 mA
  • Minimum load current: Not specified. However, consider the following:
      • Leakage current will have a stronger effect when load currents are low.
      • Propagation delay of the output increases as load currents decrease.
      • Higher-impedance circuits tend to be more susceptible to EMI.
      • Higher currents cause higher voltage drops in long cables.

For more information about the I/O lines, see the I/O Control section.
