TM-1402 Series Operation Manual
1 Introduction
1.1 Product Description
The JAI, Inc. TM-1402 series consists of high-resolution, high-speed progressive scan CCD cameras.1 The
progressive interline-type CCD permits full vertical and horizontal resolution of very high speed shutter images
and applications. The electronic shutter, which has speeds to 1/16,000 sec., can be reset asynchronously by
external pulse control. Several frame rates are available: 15, 30, 56, 98 fps. On-chip micro lenses provide
increased sensitivity.
The TM-1402 has a full dynamic range control function, which can be set at externally selectable lookup-table
(LUT) knee slopes to convert 10-bit input to 8-bit output, thereby optimizing the CCD’s full dynamic range in
the normal output signal range. The camera has an 8-bit, RS-644 digital signal output for interfacing with
external image-processing systems. All the key functions are externally controlled via RS-232C. The TM-1402CL
model has a Camera Link output and its key functions are externally controlled via differential serial
communication of Camera Link.
Applications for the TM-1402 include machine vision, medical imaging, intelligent transportation systems, highdefinition graphics, on-line inspection, gauging, character reading, archiving, and high security surveillance.
1.2 Features
•Miniature size and light weight
The printed circuit boards in the TM-1402 have been arranged based on a design philosophy that creates
modular electronics for the camera, giving it flexibility. In addition, the use of miniature solid-state
components results in a compact, lightweight camera that is 44mm x 44mm x 64mm in dimensions, and weighs
only 138 grams.
•Imager
The TM-1402 uses a progressive scan interline transfer CCD that has the following features:
− Resolution of 1392 x 1040 active pixels for excellent image quality.
− 4.65 x 4.65 μm square pixels for precise dimensional measurement.
− High-speed electronic shutter capability for high dynamic resolution of moving objects and electronic
iris control that eliminates the need for a mechanical shutter.
− Progressive scan CCD eliminates interlace deterioration of image and increases ease of computer
interface.
− High sensitivity and low noise at fast scanning. The CCD can drive faster than 50 MHz pixel clock rate
and has an excellent S/N ratio that is greater than 52dB.
− - The CCD for the TM-1402 has built-in microlenses.

series, including the TM-1402, TMC-1402, RM-1402, RMC-1402, TM-1402CL, TMC-1402CL, RM-1402CL and RMC1402CL.
Introduction 1
TM/TMC/RM/RMC-1402 Series
•Electronic shutter
The TM-1402 has a substrate drain-type shutter mechanism which provides superb pictures at various speeds
without smearing. A built-in manual shutter speed control selects the electronic shutter rate of 1/60 (nonasync mode only), 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1,000, 1/2,000, 1/4,000, 1/8,000, or 1/16,000 second.
With VINIT high (5V), the CCD keeps discharging. With a negative pulse to VINIT, the camera resets and purges
the charge momentarily. Then it starts integrating for the period of shutter control set by either an external
pulse width or internal shutter control. Progressive scanning permits a full 1040 lines of vertical resolution, as
compared to a conventional CCD camera which captures only half the vertical lines per shutter.
•Asynchronous reset (VINIT)
The TM-1402’s asynchronous reset is flexible and accepts external horizontal drive (HD) for phase locking.
When the VINIT pulse is applied, it resets the camera's scanning and purging of the CCD. There are two modes
to control the asynchronous reset and shutter speed:
− External VINIT with pulse width. The duration between pulse edges controls the shutter speed
externally.
− Internal shutter control mode. The speed control varies from 1/125 to 1/16,000 sec. The video signal
starts with internal V reset timing related to shutter speed.
•Output
The TM-1402 has an 8-bit RS-644 (LVDS) digital output for interfacing with external image processing systems.
The TM-1402 camera is also available with RS-422 digital output as an option (OP-93). The TM-1402CL has a
Camera Link output. The analog output is 1.0 Vp-p composite video (75 Ω).
•Asynchronous image capturing
The TM-1402 captures async reset images and provides single-shot video output with single FDV.This makes it
simpler for an ordinary frame grabber to capture the async reset images.
•Warranty
The CCD solid-state image sensor allows the camera to maintain a superior performance level indefinitely while
requiring virtually no maintenance. Please contact your factory representative for details about the warranty.
Warning: Unscrewing the camera cover or opening the camera in any way will void the
warranty unless prior written approval is obtained from the factory.
1.3 Functional Options
• RS-422 (digital) output (OP93) (TM-1402).
• 10-bit output (OP93-1).

2.2 Camera Setup
2.2.1 Heat Dissipation
The TM-1402 camera is a compact 1.4 megapixel camera. Since all the electronics have been packed in a very
small package, the outer case of the camera gets hot due to heat dissipation. JAI. Recommends using a cooling
fan to set up a positive air flow around the camera, and following the precautions below:
•Mount the camera on a large heat sink (camera bracket) made out of a conductive material such as
aluminum.
•Make sure the flow of heat from the camera case to the bracket is not blocked by a non-conducting
material like plastic.
•Make sure the camera has enough open space around it to facilitate the free flow of air.
