If the license plates are over-exposed by the TNL-50 Flash then there are multiple possible solutions to correct
this problem. Some of these solutions involve changing some of the VISCAM 1000 system parameters to reduce
sensitivity to nighttime illumination. Other solutions involve changing the brightness of the TNL-50 Flash by
adjusting some of the internal Flash unit settings. Please see next chapter for a detailed description of the
possible solutions.

Repeat pressing the “Repetitive Trigger” button on the ENSetup toolbar to stop flash firing. Repeat the above
steps for each camera/flash.

TNL-50 Flash Settings
TNL-50 Flash unit come in three different versions: a white light, blue light and NIR light version. All of these
versions primarily work as flash (strobe) unit that illuminate vehicles and license plates when the cameras are
being triggered during low-light conditions.
Both the white and the blue light versions are visible to the human eye so they have an additional “Traffic
Safety Mode” feature built-in which provides a constant light output from the flash units between the bright
strobe flashes. This will make the bright strobe flashes seem less disturbing to the passing vehicles.
The strobe brightness and the Traffic Safety Mode brightness settings are adjusted individually depending on
the customer requirements.
It is possible to adjust the TNL-50 Flash settings directly from ENSetup.
The TNL-50 Continuous Light and Flash Light intensities are set up directly from the EN Setup Properties
window (Category “4 – Light”) by adjusting the “Flash Intensity”, “Flash Traffic Safety Night Intensity” and
“Flash Traffic Safety Day Intensity” settings seen below.
Figure 23.
TNL-50 Flash Intensity settings in ENSetup
The light intensities are all specified in percent of maximum intensity output.
Furthermore a dedicated “TNL-50 Light Settings” dialog can be opened using the context menu for the selected
TS(C)-5000EN camera by selecting the “->Advanced Settings->Configure TNL-50 Light Settings”.
Note
: as of firmware version later than Jan 2015 the Flash Intensity and Traffic Safety Intensity settings will
override TNL-50 settings. If you send commands directly to the TNL-50 to change intensity the camera will
change it back when it needs to adjust lighting.
