LED Indicators
The Falcon4-CLHS has one multicolor LED to provide a simple visible indication of camera state, as
described below. The CX4 connector does not have any status LED indicator.
Camera Status LED Indicator
The camera is equipped with one LED to display its operational status. When more than one
condition is active, the LED color indicates the condition with the highest priority. The following
table summarizes the LED states.

Flashing Green Looking for link; hardware is fine but connection not established.
Steady Green
Link established. Device and host connected and data transfer may take
place.
Fast Flashing Blue File Access Feature is transferring data such as a firmware update, etc.
Constant Red System error (for example, internal error).
Preventing Operational Faults due to ESD
Camera installations which do not protect against ESD (electrostatic discharge) may
exhibit operational faults. Problems such as random data loss, random camera
resets and other non-reoccurring control issues may all be solved by proper ESD
management.
Teledyne DALSA has performed ESD testing on cameras using an 8 kilovolt ESD generator without
any indication of operational faults. The two following methods, either individually or together will
prevent ESD problems.
• Method 1: Use a shielded/grounded power supply that connects ground to pin-10 of the I/O
connector. The camera case is now properly connected to earth ground and can withstand ESD
of 8 kilovolts, as tested by Teledyne DALSA.
• Method 2: Mount the camera on a metallic platform with a good connection to earth ground.
