6.1 Fault Finding Using the Camera LED
When the power supply to the camera is switched on, the LED on the back of the camera will
become orange colored for several seconds as the microprocessor in the camera boots up. If
bootup is successful, the LED will then remain orange continuously.
Once bootup is complete, the camera performs a continuous series of self checks. If an error
condition is detected, the LED will begin to blink between green and orange. The number of blinks
indicate the detected error (see Table 6-1). If several error states are present, the LED outputs the
error codes in succession.
If the status LED on the back of the camera is not lit, it means that power to the camera is not
present or is less than 10.8 Volts.
LED Description
On
Continuous
The camera is OK.
3 blinks
ExSync has not changed state for 5 seconds or longer. If you are not supplying
an ExSync signal to the camera, this is a normal condition and should be ignored.
Otherwise check the cable and the ExSync generating device.
5 blinks
The Work Set could not be stored into a User set.
Please contact Basler technical support.
6 blinks
A User Set or the Factory Set could not be loaded into the Work Set.
Please contact Basler technical support.
7 blinks
A valid list of commands was not available.
Please contact Basler tech support.
8 blinks
The FPGA could not be configured. Please contact Basler Technical Support
Table 6-1: Camera Status Indications
The camera has no over voltage protection. Always observe the maximum
