WARNING:
Ensu re that all the correct voltages at fu ll load are p resent at the cam era p ow er connector
(irresp ective of cable len gth) accord ing to the p inou t d efined in section 2.2.3 Pow er
Connector. A com m on system p roblem is that the voltage d rop across the p ow er cable is
large enou gh that the voltage at the cam era d oes not m eet the p ow er i np u t voltage

2.2.1 LED Status Indicator
The cam era is equ ip p ed w ith a red / green LED u sed to d isp lay the op erational statu s of
the cam era. The table below su m m arizes the op erating states of the cam era and the
corresp ond ing LED states.
When m ore than one cond ition is active, the LED ind icates the cond ition w ith the highest
p riority. Error and w arning states are accom p anied by corresp ond ing m essages fu rther
d escribing the cu rrent cam era statu s.
