Reference Manual ATOM one SSM500
3 General Usage
For regular operation the camera only needs a power supply. For controlling the camera a
RS485 connection is required.
This can be done with the optional RS485 USB converter. Connect the USB connector to
your PC and let the operation system install the required drivers. You can then use the
ProVideo GUI software to control the camera (see chapter 5).
Alternatively you can use a third party hardware controller to control the camera.
3.1 Power On/Off
After connecting the power cable, the camera will turn on automatically and the Sys LED
begins to blink green. The boot process takes about 20 seconds and is being visualized in
the OLED display. During boot the fan will spin at maximum speed.
If the camera has been turned on and the power is interrupted, the camera will turn on
again automatically once power is supplied again.
To power down the camera press the power button for ~3 seconds or use the
shutdown
command. During power down the fan will spin at maximum speed. The camera will then
enter standby mode.
In standby mode the Sys LED glows yellow. To turn the camera on again, press the power
button for ~3 seconds, or cut the power for at least 5 seconds before reconnecting it.
Note:
It is recommended to shut down the camera with the power button or
shutdown
command at the end of a production to ensure no corrupt image data is stored.
