ATR3CMOS16000KMA

USB3.0 TE-Cooling CMOS Camera 

Basic characteristic of ATR3CMOS- Series

ATR3CMOS series adopts SONY Exmor, Exmor R or Exmor RS CMOS sensor as the image-picking device with two-stage peltier cooling system. This will greatly increase the signal to noise ratio and decrease the image noise. Besides, smart internal heat transfer structure is used to transfer the heat radiation. Electric fan is used to increase the heat radiation power. USB3.0 is used as the data transfer interface. 

ATR3CMOS series comes with advanced video & image processing application ToupSky; providing Windows/Linux/ macOS/ Android multiple platform SDK(Native C/C++, C#/VB.NET, Python, Java, DirectShow, Twain, etc); 

The ATR3CMOS series can be widely used in low light environment capture and analysis, as well as the astronomy application. 

The basic characteristics of AR3CMOS series are as follows:

• Standard 2”+M42x0.75 mount camera with SONY Exmor, Exmor R and Exmor RS CMOS sensor
• The resolution ranges from 1.7M to 26M
• Two-stage TE-cooling with controllable electric fan assist
• Working temperature can be regulated to specified temperature
• Smart structure to assure the heat radiation efficiency and avoid the moisture problem
• Up to 42 degrees temperature drop ensures high quality image with low noise
• Up to 1-hour long time exposure
• USB3.0 5Gbit/second interface ensuring high speed data transmission
• Ultra-FineTM color engine with perfect color reproduction capability
• With advanced video & image processing application ToupSky
• Windows/Linux/macOS/Android multiple platform SDK 

Specific characteristics of ATR3CMOS16000KMA

Dimension of ATR3CMOS16000KMA

The ATR3CMOS camera body, made from tough, alloy, ensures a heavy duty, workhorse solution. The camera is designed with high quality IR-CUT to protect the camera sensor and block the IR light. No moving parts included. These measures ensure a rugged, robust solution with an increased lifespan when compared to other industrial camera solutions.

Camera Dimension and Its Mount

1 Protective window, AR window for mono camera, IR-cut filter for color camera 

2 M42F x 0.75 thread

3 Air inlet

4 Thermo outlet

5 USB 2.0 HUB

6 USB 3.0/ USB 2.0 port

7 DC 12V 3A power port, 5.5 x 2.1mm

8 LED indicators: 1) Power LED. 2) System LED. 3)TEC LED. 4)Fan LED

Camera Mechanical Connection with Adapter

The camera can be connected to a telescope with proper adapter, or the camera lens. The most common adapters are already included in the package, but we also provide some specific adaptors based on the requirement. 

The female flange to the sensor is 17.5mm. The ATR3CMOS16000KMA comes with M42x0.75 mount and can connect to telescope with the M42x0.75 thread in a direct way. 

The ATR3CMOS16000KMA can also connect to the telescope who use 1.25” or 2” eyepieces by M42M-1.25” or M42M- 2” adapter.

Camera Mechanical Connection with Lens

1 Nikon-M42 adapter

2 EOS-M42 adapter

3 Nikon lens

4 Canon lens

5 ATR3CMOS camera with M42Fx0.75 mount

Camera Electric Connection with Accessories

On the back side, there are 3 connection ports: DC 12V/3A power port, USB3.0/ USB2.0 port and USB-HUB. 

Due to the significantly larger power consumption of the sensor the camera (including the cooling system) is now booted up only by 12V/3A power supply. USB3.0 no longer workds as a power source but only as a data communication method. The USB-HUB provides connection with other devices, which allows user to avoid the mess of cable management. Once another device is connected through the USB-HUB, it will be connected to PC device through the USB3.0/USB2.0 port.
