3.2.7 Remote Power Controller
The external Remote Power Controller RPC) unit is an optional unit that
is used to reduce the power consumption of the system. When the system
is equipped with the RPC unit, it is possible to power off the entire system
with a simple keypad button sequence on the JCU, see section 11.1.3.
NOTE: The system has a remote power control function also without the RPC unit. How-
ever, in this case only the cameras and the sensors are powered on/off with the keypad
button sequence.
3.3 System control
The Ranger HRC MS system can be congured for stand-alone operation
or for operation in an IP network with multiple systems. With the stand-
alone conguration, the system is controlled via the System Software run-
ning on the JPC2 unit. With the IP network conguration, a standard PC
running a security and surveillance application – such as the FLIR Nexus
application – is used to control the Ranger HRC MS systems. The Joy-
stick Control Unit can be used in both congurations.
It is possible to access the IR Camera software, which offers advanced
features for optimization of the IR image, from both the System Software
and from the FLIR Nexus application.
The System Software is described in detail in chapter 7. The IR Camera
software is described in detail in chapter 8.
For information about the IP network conguration, see section 15.9. For
information about the FLIR Nexus application, please refer to the Nexus
manual.
