Connect the Lens and Lighting

Complete the following steps to connect a standard C-mount lens and external lighting accessories to
the NI Smart Camera.

1.

Remove the lens cover from the smart camera.

2.

Gently align the threads on the base of the lens with the threads on the sensor opening, and twist
clockwise until the lens is secure.

The lens is now attached to the smart camera.

Lighting

The NI Smart Camera offers two options for controlling a light—a Direct Drive internal lighting
controller, or 5 V TTL or 24 V external strobe generation for use with a third-party lighting controller.
Refer to the NI 17xx Smart Camera User Manual for information about using the smart camera with
a light.

Note

The Direct Drive lighting controller is not available on NI 1722 smart cameras. NI 1722 smart

cameras support only 5 V TTL or 24 V external strobe generation.

Connect the Power Supply and I/O

To connect a power supply to the NI Smart Camera, complete the steps listed in one of the following
sections. Refer to the

Power Only

section to connect the NI desktop power supply directly to the smart

camera with no additional I/O. Refer to the

Power with Additional I/O

section to connect a third-party

power supply or if your application requires I/O, such as a trigger signal.

Caution

Use the smart camera only with a 24 VDC, UL listed, limited power source (LPS) supply.

The power supply will bear the UL listed mark, LPS. The power supply must also meet any safety
and compliance requirements for the country of use.
