M500 System Startup
System Startup and Shutdown
The M500 camera does not have an on/off switch. Instead, its power state is controlled by the
JCU II. Generally, the camera is never completely off but in a Park mode or standby state waiting
for a “wake” command from the JCU II.
The M500 system is connected to power through a circuit breaker, which functions as the primary
on/off switch for the system. To completely shut down the system, first park the camera and then
turn off the circuit breaker. In normal operation, the camera will have power and will be in one of
four states:
• Bootup, or powering on
• Powered on and fully functional
• Park mode, powered on with video turned off
• Standby, a low-power state waiting for a wake command
Park Mode
When the system is in Park mode, the camera does not generate a live video signal. After the
bootup is complete or when done using the system, Park the camera from the OSD menu to keep
the system ready to use at a moments notice.
The Bootup Process
The bootup process is slightly different depending on whether the system has been completely
turned off or is being wakened from a standby state. Most of what happens, however, is the same.
Powering the Camera
During bootup, a series of screens are shown as various
components are activated. How the screen looks will vary
depending on the particular configuration settings of your
installation. In general, the following sequence occurs:
1. If starting from a full shutdown, make sure the monitor is
turned on, then power on the system.
2. The FLIR splash screen is shown, then live video from the
visible camera is shown with boot progress indications.
3. When the bootup is complete (about 6 minutes), the
monitor shows the welcome message, and icons and the OSD menus are enabled.
Important: Do not turn on the JCU II until the message “Welcome System is ready for use” is
shown. Fully establishing a connection may take up to four minutes. Please be patient while the
system verifies each component.
