3.13 Camera Temperature
A202k series cameras include a sensor that measures the temperature on one of the electronic
boards inside of the camera. The readings of this sensor allow you to monitor that ventilation
works correctly.
You can use the Read Camera Temperature binary command to read out the current temperature
(see Section 4.2.5.9).
3.14 Camera Status
The A202k monitors its status by performing a regular series of self checks. The current status of
the camera can be viewed in several ways:
• with the Camera Configuration Tool Plus. You can use the Camera Status information in the
Camera Information group (see Section 4.1 and the configuration tool’s on-line help) to check
a list of several possible errors and an indication of whether those errors are present.
• with binary commands. You can use the Camera Status command (see Section 4.2.7) to
check if the camera has detected any errors.
• by checking the LED on the back of the camera. If certain error conditions are present, the
LED will flash (see Section 6.1).
Warning!
The reading for the internal camera temperature must not exceed 90 °C.
If the internal camera temperature rises higher than 90 °C, electronic
components may get damaged.
To prevent internal heat build-up, observe the ventilation requirements de-
scribed in Section 1.4.2.
