If the product is disassembled, reworked or repaired by
other than a recommended service person, AVT or its
suppliers will take no responsibility for the subsequent
performance or quality of the camera.
•
The camera does NOT generate dangerous voltages
internally. However, because the IEEE 1394a standard
permits cable power distribution at voltages higher
than 24 V, various international safety standards apply.

Safety instructions
Caution
�
•
Make sure NOT to touch the shield of the camera cable
connected to a computer and the ground terminal of
the lines at the same time.
•
Use only DC power supplies with insulated cases. These
are identified by having only TWO power connectors.
•
Although IEEE 1394a is functionally plug and play, the
physical ports may be damaged by excessive ESD (elec-
trostatic discharge), when connected under powered
conditions. It is good practice to bring the metal part,
which is the shield of the IEEE 1394 cable, in contact
with the housing of the camera (before plugging it into
the camera) and, at the other end, in contact with
metal parts of the computer, before plugging it into the
port of the computer. This ensures that excessive
charge can flow safely to ground.
•
If you feel uncomfortable with the previous advice, or if
you have no knowledge about the connectivity of an
installation, we strongly recommend powering down all
systems before connecting or disconnecting a camera.

Safety instructions for board level cameras
Note
�
Read the Guppy Technical Manual and this safety instruc-
tions before use.
Abuse or misapplication of the camera may result in lim-
ited warranty or cancelation of warranty.
Caution-ESD
Board level cameras: ESD warnings
•
Only qualified personnel is allowed to install and oper-
ate the Board level cameras.
•
Board level camerass are delivered without housing.
Handle the sensor board and main board with care. Do
not bend the boards. Do not touch the components or
contacts on a board. Hold a board by its edges.
•
Sensor board and main board are sensitive to electro-
static discharge. To avoid possible damage, handle all
static-sensitive boards and components in a static-safe
work area. Follow the procedures below.
•
ESD (electrostatic discharge): Static electricity can
damage the sensor board or the main board of your
Board level cameras. To prevent static damage, dis-
charge static electricity from your body before you
touch any of your Board level cameras’s electronic com-
ponents, such as sensor board or main board. To do so,
use a static-safe workarea with static-dissipative mat
and wear a static-dissipative wrist strap. Do not hold
any components of your Board level cameras against
your clothing. Even if you are wearing a wrist strap,
your body is grounded but your clothes are not.
•
Do not remove the sensor board and main board from its
anti-static packaging unless your body is grounded.
•
ESD shielding: To protect the boards from radiation of
other modules or devices use a special ESD protective
housing.

Caution
�
Board level cameras: General Warnings
•
Be sure that all power to your board level cameras is
switched off, before mounting the sensor board or mak-
ing connections to the camera.
•
Do not connect or disconnect any cables during an elec-
trical storm.
•
Do not use your board level cameras during an electrical
storm.
•
To help avoid possible damage to the sensor board or
main board, wait 5 seconds after power is switched off,
before connecting or disconnecting any cable to the
board level cameras.
•
Ensure that nothing rests on the cables of your board
level cameras.
•
Keep your board level cameras away from radiators and
heat sources.
•
Do not spill food or liquids on your board level cameras.
Caution
�
Board level cameras: Loading
•

external pull relief so that no force is applied to the
connectors itself.
Caution
�
Board level cameras: Dirty environments
•
Always use clean boards.
•
To protect the boards from dirt like dust, liquids or
swarf always use the board level cameras only in clean
room environment or use a protective housing.

With Guppy cameras, entry into the world of digital image processing is sim-
pler and more cost-effective than ever before.
With the new GUPPY, Allied Vision Technologies presents a whole series of
attractive digital camera entry-level models of the FireWire™ type.
These products offer an unequalled price-performance relationship and make
the decision to switch from using analogue to digital technology easier than
ever before.
The AVT Guppy family consists of six very compact IEEE 1394 C-Mount cam-
eras, which are equipped with highly sensitive high-quality sensors (CCD,
CMOS).
Each of these cameras is available in black/white and color versions.
A large selection of different sensor sizes (type 1/2, type 1/3) and resolu-
tions (VGA, SVGA, XGA) ensures the suitability of the cameras for all applica-
tions.
The Guppy family consists of the following models:
Operating in 8-bit mode (CCD b/w only), the cameras ensure very high quality
images under almost all circumstances. The GUPPY is equipped with an asyn-
chronous trigger shutter as well as true partial scan, and integrates a number
of useful and intelligent smart features for image processing.

section of the camera. This greatly enhances the
risk for dust or particles to migrate on the sensor's
protection glass.
In order to remove the adapter:
Hold the camera so that the adapter points down-
wards while changing the adapter. Use optical
cleaning tissues for cleaning the sensor's protec-
tion glass if needed. Never use compressed air
for cleaning purposes.
Ask your dealer if you are not familiar with these
procedures.

Operating the camera
Power for the camera is supplied either via the FireWire™ bus or the camera
I/O connector’s pin 7.
The input voltage must be within the following range:
Vcc min.: +8 V
Vcc max.: +36 V
Control and video data signals
Guppy cameras have 1 input and 3 outputs. These can be configured by soft-
ware. The different modes are described below.
Note
�
•
An input voltage of 12 V is recommended for most effi-
cient use of the camera.
•
As mentioned above: The camera I/O connector sup-
plies power to the camera via a diode. This means that
there is no power out at pin 7 if the camera is powered
via the bus. Consult the factory if you need power out-
put at this pin instead of power in.
Note
�
Guppy board level cameras have 4 bidirectional inputs/
outputs: Outputs can be disabled via the Output Control Reg-
ister.
For further details, read Chapter Board level cameras: inputs
and outputs on page 103 and Chapter Board level cameras:
pulse-width modulation on page 103.
Warning
�
The Guppy outputs are not short-circuit-proof.
If there occurs a short-circuit at the outputs, the output
driver will be damaged.

Input
The inputs can be connected directly to +5 V. If a higher voltage is used, an
external resistor must be placed in series. Use at +12 V a 18 kΩ resistor and
at +24 V a 47 kΩ resistor.
