Coming Soon

The Uniblitz FS series shutters do not require a driver for operation (only +5V to open and 0V to close), so for applications that require remote operation of the shutter from a TTL signal or USB interface, the VLM1B Interface Module is available.

This device also offers an optional Electronic Sync interface along with a SYNC Output BNC. Additionally, the device can be operated using a USB interface which will use the computer’s power to operate the VLM1B and the attached shutter.

The VLM1B is RoHS compliant.

Power Requirements	USB /Power Input: +5VDC 0.5A min (Compatible with USB5 +5VDC 1A wall adapter)
	A USB interface cable (USB A 2.0 to USB Micro B) can be used with the USB5 wall adapter, or it can be connected to a computer to supply power and data.
Pulse Input (BNC)	Input available for control of the shutter via a +5V TTL signal – pulse width determined exposure time.
	Active High or Active Low selectable with internal jumper. (Default – Active Low)
SYNC Output (BNC)	Output available for sync output.
	Active High or Active low output selectable with an internal jumper. (Default – Active High)
Shutter Connection	A 5-pin pluggable spring terminal interconnect for shutter termination and sync system interface to the VLM1B (wire colors shown from shutter. Yellow, Green, and Blue not available on shutters without optional electronic sync system installed.)
	Pin 1 – Shutter A (Red) Pin 2 – Shutter B (Brown) Pin 3 – Sync System E (Yellow) Pin 4 – Sync System Return D (Green) Pin 5 – Sync System +5VDC F (Blue)
General	Size (HWD): 0.59 x 3.42 x 2.73 in (15.0 x 86.9 x 69.3 mm) Weight: 2.28 oz (0.065 kg)
	LED Indicators: Green – Power. Yellow – Sync System Active (if shutter is equipped with electronic sync system)
	Open/Close Switch: Push to open and push to close operation. Green LED built in to the switch actuator for driver active indication.
	RoHS Compliant

USB/Power Input (1)	+5VDC 0.5A min (Compatible with the USB5 +5VDC 1A wall adapter). A USB interface cable (USB A 2.0 to USB Micro B) can be used with the USB5 wall adapter, or it can be connected to a computer to supply power and data.
Pulse Input BNC (2)	For shutter control via a +5V TTL signal – pulse width determined exposure time. Active High or Active Low (default) is selectable with an internal jumper.
Sync Output BNC (3)	For shutters equipped with electronic sync systems. Active High (default) or Active Low is selectable with an internal jumper.
5-Pin Pluggable Spring Terminal (4)	For shutter termination and sync system interface. The flying leads from the FS series shutters can connect directly to this terminal (no adapter is necessary).

LED Power Indicator (5)	Indicates the module’s power status.
LED Sync Status Indicator (6)	Indicates the module’s electronic sync status (if the attached shutter is equipped with an electronic sync system).
Manual Shutter Open/Close Switch (7)	Push to open and push again to close the shutter. A green LED on the push-button indicates when the driver is active.
