Display Warning Graphics

 

 

The  Argus

®

  F-Type  is equipped with an advanced microprocessor based control 

and user warning system. In addition to controlling the automatic operation of the 
camera to ensure the best possible picture at all times, the control system provides 
graphics on the display to alert the user to certain conditions as follows: 
 

 

Over-temperature Warning 

As the circuitry within the camera approaches its maximum internal 
operating temperature, a warning symbol in the shape of a 
thermometer will appear to the left of the battery display. The camera 
will continue to operate at this temperature, but the user may see 

some degradation of the image quality. 
 
If the user ignores this warning and continues to operate the camera in very high 
temperatures, the warning symbol will flash. 
 

When the flashing temperature warning is present, the camera is very 
close to its absolute operating limit and  the image will start to degrade 
considerably. The user must remove the unit from the high ambient 
temperature at this time; failure to comply may result in permanent 
damage to the unit. Failure to act upon this level of warning may result in 
serious damage to the system and may invalidate the warranty. 

 

 

General System Failure Warning 

As part of the operation of the system, the microprocessor monitors 
certain functions and displays an internationally recognised warning 
symbol if it detects a fault. The warning, which takes the form of an 
exclamation mark within a triangle, will appear to the left of the 

battery status indicator. 

 

If the warning appears and if appropriate, turn the camera off and leave for five 
minutes. Turn the camera on and check if the warning symbol has disappeared. 
If the warning symbol is still present, or the symptoms return, contact e2v 
technologies. 
 

Failure to act upon this level of warning may result in serious damage to 
the system and may invalidate the warranty.
