206 Basler sprint Mono Cameras
8.2 Fault Finding Using the Camera LED
During bootup, the camera loads firmware and performs initial self checks. Once bootup is
complete, the camera performs a continuous series of self checks. If an error condition is detected,
the LED will begin to flash. The number of flashes indicate the detected error as shown in Table 30.
If several error states are present, the LED outputs the error code that has the highest priority.
To get more information about the camera’s current condition, you can check the camera status as
described in Section 6.10 on page 148.
LED Description Priority
LED is not lit Power to the camera is not present or the input voltage is too low (see
Section Section 2.5 on page 30 and Section 6.8 on page 145).
LED is solid green for
several seconds, flashes
orange and then
becomes solid orange
This is the normal LED sequence at power on or after a camera reset.
Solid orange The camera has power and is OK. -
LED flashes with
gradually increasing
frequency
Indicates that the camera is busy performing a normal operation such
as generating shading tables. When the operation is complete, the
flashing stops.
-
Continuous red flashing An overvoltage condition has been detected (see Section 6.8 on
page 145).

(highest)
Continuous fast orange
flashing
General error. Please contact Basler technical support. 2
Continuous slow orange
flashing
One of the following errors is present:
No FPGA firmware is available.
Firmware available but error when booting the FPGA.
Please contact Basler technical support.
3
Repeated pattern of 6
slow orange flashes
An erroneous parameter set has been loaded.
Load another parameter set.
4
Repeated pattern of 5
slow orange flashes
Parameter error. For example, a parameter is set out of range or to a
value that is not valid.
