6.2 Status Lights
The cameras provide a set of status indicators on the back panel to give the user some visual
feedback on the camera operating state.
COLD: Indicates that the FPA has reached operating temperature
(<80K for InSb or SLS, 30C for InGaAs).
6.3 Power Interfaces
6.3.1 Power Interface [All except A6705]
24VDC nominal (20-28V acceptable), external AC-DC power converter is provided with the camera
system as a standard accessory. Power supply specifications are:
Input voltage range: 100-250VAC 50/60Hz
Current draw: 24 VDC at up to 4.0 amps input to the camera
Converter dimensions: 6.25 inches x 3.5 inches x 2.75 inch (L x W x H)
Converter weight: approximately 1 pound
The power input pinouts are shown in Figure 6-4.
Figure 6-4: A858x Power Input Pinouts
When using your own DC power supply, you should take note of the following information:
Output voltage: 24 VDC nominal (20-28V acceptable)
Current draw: 1.4 amps nominal steady state, 2.6 amps peak (during cooldown)
Power dissipation is <50 Watts steady state at nominal ambient temperature.
Mating Connector: Fisher Connectors, S103A052-130+E31 103.1/5.7 +B. (FLIR PN 26399-000).
The power cable should be 20AWG (stranded 10/30), 3 conductor, no shield, max diameter of 0.223
inches. (Example: Alphawire PN 882003)
