CC640 Digital Camera
2. Introduction
The CC640 digital camera was designed to meet the stringent operational
requirements necessary for remote battery powered installations. The CC640
has a very low quiescent power draw and can operate over a wide temperature
range.
The camera contains a CompactFlash memory card interface that turns the
camera into a powerful image logger. The combination of JPEG compression
and memory card storage enables the CC640 to store over 10,000 images.
The CC640 can operate in a stand-alone mode with image acquisitions
triggered by the cameras own precision real time clock. The camera can also
be connected to a PakBus datalogger. The datalogger can trigger data
acquisitions by applying a 5 to 12 Vdc signal.

2.1 Connecting
The camera can be connected to the datalogger and power supply using the
pigtail cable that comes with the camera (see Table 1a, Configuration Cable
Connections). Because of its short length, this cable is typically used for
configuration only. Longer cables are usually required for deployment in the
field (see Sections 2.1.2 and 2.1.3).
It is essential that the Ground cable be connected first
when wiring the camera to the datalogger or the power
supply. CAUTION
