Product Introduction

The CCD ISM 1403-C00 is a specialized industrial vision sensor designed for automated optical inspection (AOI) and precision manufacturing lines. It serves as the “eye” of the system, capturing high-contrast images for quality control, barcode reading, and part presence verification.Unlike generic webcams, this unit is engineered for harsh factory floors. It features a ruggedized aluminum housing and a locked C-Mount interface to prevent focus drift caused by machine vibration. Field data suggests it maintains consistent exposure levels even under fluctuating ambient light, reducing false rejects on high-speed conveyor belts.

 

Installation & Configuration Guide

Phase 1: Preparation (10 min)

  • Power Down: Ensure the 24V DC power supply is completely disconnected.
  • ESD Safety: Wear a grounded wrist strap. CCD sensors are highly sensitive to static discharge (a quick zap can kill a pixel row).
  • Verify Parts: Check for the camera module, mounting bracket, and interface cable.

Phase 2: Removal (If replacing old unit) (5–10 min)

  • Mark Orientation: Take a photo of the current wiring and physical angle.
  • Disconnect: Unplug the I/O and power connectors. Do not pull on the wires; pull on the connector housing.
  • Unmount: Loosen the mounting screws and carefully slide the unit out.

Phase 3: Installation (10 min)

  • Mounting: Secure the ISM 1403-C00 to the bracket. Ensure the C-Mount lens is tightly screwed in and the set screw is locked.
  • Wiring: Connect the 24V DC power and I/O cables. Double-check the polarity (Pin 1 is usually 24V, Pin 2 is 0V, but check the manual).
  • Focus: Remove the lens cap. Loosen the focus ring, aim at the target, and tighten.

Phase 4: Power-On & Test (10 min)

  • Power Up: Turn on the 24V supply.
  • LED Check: Look for the status LED. Solid green usually means “Ready,” while flashing amber often indicates a communication error or missing trigger.
  • Software Handshake: Open your vision software (e.g., Cognex In-Sight or proprietary OEM software) and attempt to connect via the COM port.

 

Troubleshooting Quick Reference

Symptom Probable Cause Quick Fix
No Power / No LED Power supply issue or blown fuse Measure input voltage at the cable end. Must be 24V DC.
Dark Image Iris closed or exposure too low Manually open the lens iris. Check software exposure settings.
Flickering Image Lighting frequency mismatch Adjust shutter speed to match lighting (e.g., 1/100s for 50Hz).
No Communication Wrong COM port or baud rate Check Device Manager. Ensure baud rate matches camera config.
Blurry Edges Back focus or wrong lens Ensure you are using a C-Mount lens (not CS-Mount) and lock the ring.

 

Dimensions, Mounting & Wiring Notes

  • Dimensions: Approx. 45mm (H) x 45mm (W) x 65mm (D) (Excluding lens and connector).
  • Mounting: Standard 1/4″-20 UNC tripod thread on bottom, plus side mounting holes for brackets.
  • Wiring Note: The I/O cable is shielded. Connect the shield to the chassis ground at the controller end only to prevent ground loops (which cause weird horizontal bars in the image).

FAQ

Q: Is the ISM 1403-C00 compatible with standard C-Mount lenses?
A: Yes. It uses a standard C-Mount thread. Just ensure your lens covers the sensor size (e.g., if the sensor is 1/3″, a 1/3″ or 1/2″ lens works fine).Q: I plugged it in, but the software can’t find the camera. What gives?
A: First, check your COM port settings in the Device Manager. If the baud rate doesn’t match the camera’s default (often 9600 or 115200), they won’t talk. Also, verify the cable isn’t a “null modem” cable unless required.Q: Can I use a 12V power supply if I don’t have 24V?
A: No. This unit requires a regulated 24V DC supply. Using 12V might turn the LEDs on, but the sensor and internal logic won’t initialize correctly.Q: What is the difference between “New Surplus” and “Refurbished”?
A: “New Surplus” means the unit is unused, original factory stock that has been sitting in a warehouse. “Refurbished” means it was used, returned, repaired, and tested. This listing is for New Surplus.Q: Does this camera have a built-in light?
A: No, the ISM 1403-C00 is a passive sensor. You need to provide external lighting (ring light or bar light) for consistent inspection results.Q: I’m worried about static damage during install. Any tips?
A: Valid concern. Always touch a grounded metal surface or wear an ESD strap before handling the camera body or the lens threads.
