Achtung

Note on pin assignment

The power supply (VCC) must be connected to pins 2 and 9. In addition, the power supply ground wire must be connected to all 4 GND pins (pins 1, 7, 8, and 14). If this is not possible due to insufficient space, connect at least pins 1 and 8 to the power supply ground wire.

For EMC reasons, the cable shield must not be connected to the GND wire.

Power supply

Voltage		Tolerance	Residual ripple
Minimum (at camera)	6 V	-10 %	max. 120 mVpp
Maximum	24 V	+10 %	max. 120 mVpp
Recommended	12 V	-	-

For information on the camera's power consumption, see Camera and sensor data chapter.

Achtung

Note on power supply

Please keep in mind that a voltage drop will occur when you use long cables for power supply to the camera. Choose the size of the cable in such a way that the supply voltage available at the input of the GigE uEye HE is 12 V.

To ensure a sufficient voltage (6...24 V) at the camera input, we recommend the following AC adapter voltages:

Power cable length

AC adapter voltage

up to 5 m

5-10 m

10-20 m

20-30 m

30-50 m

9-24 V

12-24 V

15-24 V

18-24 V

24 V

Achtung

Note on inrush current

The inrush current of the GigE uEye HE may temporarily increase to up to 2 A.
