4.2.2 LED Status Indicator
The Lt Series has one multicolor LED located on the back panel, to provide a simple visible
indication of camera state, as described below.

4.3 Preventing Operational Faults due to ESD
Camera installations which do not protect against ESD (electrostatic
discharge) may exhibit operational faults. Problems such as random
camera resets and random loss of connections may all be solved by
proper ESD management.
The camera, when used with USB 3 power or a simple power supply, is
not properly connected to earth ground and therefore is susceptible to
ESD caused problems.
Teledyne Lumenera 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 to the ground pin of the I/O
connector. The camera body is now properly connected to earth ground and can withstand ESD
of 8 kilovolts.
• Method 2: Mount the camera on a metallic platform with a good connection to earth ground.
