1 input of the camera to be triggered. In normal practice, power for this input can be taken from the 12VDC power input of the camera if an additional 680-ohm resistor is installed in series between the 12VDC and the sensor circuit. A sensor device may also supply its own switched voltage across Pins 1 and 2 providing the current is held to between 10 and 20 milliamps, remembering that the 300 ohm series resistor of the camera must be taken into account. For any sensor, a minimum of 200ms is required to assure trigger recognition.

External Sensor 2 + Input (S2+)

Electrically identical to Pins 1 and 2, Pins 2 and 3 represent the second external sensor input.

Powering External Sensors

Because the IC-360 camera contains only an internal 330 ohm series resistor, an additional external series resistor is required to use the VersaCam IC-360’s own 12V power to operate sensor circuits without damage to the opto-coupler.
