Camera Soft Error State Indication
Flash Red: 1
Flash Yellow: 1 The camera is over-temperature. Camera has exceeded the
40°C maximum recommended operating temperature for the
internal electronics and enclosure. This sequence will repeat
every four seconds as long as the camera remains “over-
temperature”.
Flash Red: 1
Flash Yellow: 2 The CCD is under-temperature. The CCD has exceeded the
-40°C minimum recommended operating temperature. This
sequence will repeat every four seconds as long as the CCD
remains “under-temperature”.
Flash Red: 1
Flash Yellow: 3 The camera DC supply voltage is below the 11V minimum
recommended operating level. This sequence will repeat
every four seconds until the supply voltage is raised above
this threshold.
Flash Red: 1
Flash Yellow: 4 The camera DC supply voltage is above the 14V maximum
recommended operating level. This sequence will repeat
every four seconds until the supply voltage is lowered below
this threshold.
Flash Red: 1
Flash Yellow: 5 The filter wheel has encountered a problem and is no longer
operational. The camera will still function, but will no longer
attempt to move the filter wheel. The filter wheel may be in
any position. Power to the camera must be turned off and on
to reinitialize the filter wheel.
Flash Red: 1
Flash Yellow: 6 The shutter has encountered a problem and is no longer
operational. The camera will still function, but will no longer
attempt to operate the shutter. The shutter may be in any
state. Power to the camera must be turned off and on to
reinitialize the shutter.
Hard errors occur when the USB communication channel to the computer malfunctions or
the camera has an unrecoverable internal error. The power to the camera must be turned
off and on to reinitialize the camera and USB connection to the computer. This class of error
is generally caused by problems with the USB connection between the camera and
computer or software and firmware version incompatibility. Hard errors always begin with
two Red flashes followed by a number of Yellow flashes.
