6.9.2 Camera Power Overvoltage Condition Detected
The required camera power voltage for the camera is 12 VDC ± 10%.
If a camera power power voltage between 14 and 18 VDC is applied to the camera, a camera power
overvoltage condition will be detected. The LED on the back of the camera will begin to flash red.
When the camera power voltage is returned to its normal range, the error condition will clear and
the LED will stop flashing.
(Note that if the camera power voltage rises above 18 VDC, the camera’s internal power will switch
off as described in Section 6.8 on page 145.)
You can check to see if the camera has detected a camera power overvoltage condition with the
Camera Configuration Tool Plus (CCT+) or by using binary read commands from within your own
application to read the camera’s inquiry registers.
With the CCT+
With the CCT+ (see Section 7.1 on page 156), you use the Voltage Error parameter in the Camera
Information parameters group to determine if a camera power overvoltage condition has been
detected. If the value is 1, a camera power overvoltage condition is present.
By Reading Inquiry Registers
You check for an overvoltage condition by reading the value of bit 6 in the Camera Status field of
the Camera Status Inquiry Register (see page 161). If the bit is set to 1, a camera power overvoltage
condition is present.
See Section 7.2.1 on page 158 for an explanation of Inquiry Registers and Section 7.3.1 on
page 197 for an explanation of using read/write commands.
Note
The Voltage Error parameter in the CCT+ and bit 6 in the Camera Status field
of the Camera Status Inquiry Register will be set to 1 when the camera detects
a camera power overvoltage condition. They will remain set to 1 until the
condition is corrected, i.e., the camera power voltage is returned to its normal
range.
Applying a camera power voltage greater than 25 VDC may seriously
damage the camera. See Section 6.8 on page 145 for more information.
