7.3.5.4 CC5MPXWD Heater Power Control
The Heater Power Control settings control the operation of the CC5MPXWD
window defroster. If enabled, the camera will only turn on the heater if the
CC5MPXWD’s internal temperature is below the threshold setting. The
temperature threshold values are limited to -40°C to +25°C.
If the option Always On is selected, the heater will be on whenever the
temperature is below the threshold and the camera is not in a low powered
state.
If Minutes prior to schedule is selected, then the camera will wake up prior to
any of the Self-Timed schedules and turn on the heater if the temperature is
below the threshold settings. This feature does not work with motion detection
or external trigger modes.
This is useful for a remote site that may be prone to riming and frost. A
camera that is setup to take hourly pictures can be configured to turn on the
defroster several minutes prior to the scheduled picture to defrost the window.
7.3.6 Update
The Update I/O sub menu (see FIGURE 7-17) provides the ability to update
the firmware in the camera. It is recommended to check for firmware updates
on the Campbell Scientific website to ensure that the camera has the most
recent version of firmware.
Once a file is downloaded, simply click on the Browse button to select the new
firmware update file. Once the proper file is selected, click on the Update
button and the process will begin.
During the update process, DO NOT disconnect power,
close the web browser, or navigate away from the
Update page
Once the firmware update process is completed, a web page will be displayed
indicating that the process has completed. The camera will reboot itself and it
will take a few minutes for the camera to operate as normal again.
The firmware update process normally keeps all configuration settings in the
camera. It is recommended to verify the settings after an update.
