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.

Camera Power

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

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

Cable Requirements

For more information about recommended USB 3.0 cables, see the Recommended Accessories for Basler USB 3.0 Cameras document.

USB 2.0 Compatibility

All Basler pulse USB 3.0 cameras are USB 2.0 backward compatible. However, functionality and data transmission rate of the camera will be 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 application note Recommended USB 2.0 Host Controllers for Basler dart and pulse Cameras.

If you operate a puA1280-54um/uc camera on a USB 2.0 port, image noise may increase. This is because the frame rate of the camera is usually lower when operated on a USB 2.0 port, and the image sensor of the puA1280-54um/uc produces more image noise at low frame rates.

To reduce image noise at low frame rates:

Physical Interface

Camera Connectors

USB 3.0 Connector

The camera’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 camera 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 a Micro-B USB 3.0 plug.

Tripod Socket

All pulse cameras are equipped with a tripod socket to attach the camera to a tripod. The socket has a standard 1/4-20 UNC thread.
