Spectral Response

ON Semiconductor MT9P031 Spectral Response

The spectral response curve excludes lens characteristics, light source characteristics, and IR cut filter characteristics.

IR Cut Filter

To achieve best camera performance, Basler recommends using a dielectric IR cut filter.

The filter should transmit in a range from 400–≈700 nm, and it should cut off from ≈700–1100 nm.

Integrated IR Cut Filter (CS-Mount Variants Only)

Basler dart CS-mount color cameras are equipped with an IR cut filter. The filter is mounted in a filter holder inside the lens mount.

The IR cut filter has the following spectral characteristics:

Wavelength [nm] Transmittance
420–600 Tmin ≥ 90 %

T

avg ≥ 92 %
650 ± 10 T = 50 %
700–1000 Tavg ≤ 1 %
1000–1100 Tavg ≤ 5 %

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.

Physical Interface

Connectors and Status LED

Camera Connectors and LED Indicator

FFC Connector 28-pin flat flex cable (FFC) connector. Provides connections for LVDS image transfer, input and output signals, and power supply. Standardized I²C lines are integrated, which are used for camera configuration via the Basler pylon Camera Software Suite.
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.

FFC Connector

The 28-pin connector on the camera is a flexible flat cable (FFC) connector by Hirose Electric Co. It is specifically designed for shielded and impedance-controlled flexible flat cables. However, standard flexible flat cables without a ground layer can also be inserted. They will make good electrical contact, but you may notice a high rate of bit errors. For more information, see the BCON for LVDS Hardware Design Guide.

The connector order code is Hirose FH41-28S-0.5SH(05).

FFC Connector Pin Numbering and Assignments
