User Manual
The CopperHead 3430AP Camera Unit Digital Display
The camera unit digital display has SEVEN functions, selected by the BASE Rx/DIM Selector
(#11 on the Overview Diagram). These functions are indicated only by the activity in the digital
display.
1 COPT – Camera unit optical power or signal strength (Local OPTical) that is being gener-
ated at the cameraunit and sent to the base station. Displayed in units of –dBm.
2 BOPT – Optical p ower (Remote OPTical) or signal strength generated by the base sta-
tion as measured at the camera unit. Displayed in units of –dBm.
3 DIAGNOSTICS - one of five sub-modes:
a TEMP – displays operating temperature in degrees Centigrade of each circuit board that
reports temperature
b FAN – displays and allows testing of various fan operating modes.
c POWR – displays power level from monitored circuit boards
d REV – displays microcontroller firmware version from each circuit board with a microcon-
troller
e LED Brightness – Allows the adjustment of thecamera unit LED brightness
To select the different display modes push the BASE Rx/DIM Selector. The transition from one
mode to another may take a moment with the transition into the LED Brightness mode taking
slightly longer. The Selector is cyclical, rotating through each of the modes.
The following table describes the expected readouts in each of the above camera unit display
modes. By following the sequence you can understand what the various readouts and four char-
acter abbreviations mean for the system.
Readout Camera Unoit Digital Display Activity Explanation
After power up sequence, system defaults to Camera Unit Optical Signal
Strength – push the display select button and the system displays Base Station
link strength. Push and hold button to enter diagnostics mode.
COPT (Camera Unit Optical Signal Strength)
-9 Indicates that the camera unit signal strength is -9 dBm (typical power rating – displayed
value will reflect actual link strength at the time)
N/A Indicates that there is no active fiber link between the base station and the camera unit
BOPT (Base Station Signal Strength)
A Quick push of the BASE Rx/DIM Selector advances to the BOPT mode
-9 Indicates that the camera unit signal strength is -9 dBm (typical power rating – displayed
value will reflect actual link strength at the time)
N/A Indicates that there is no active fiber link between the base station and the camera unit
