Maintenance
The frame rate of the camera is constantly monitored while it is running. If the actual frame rate deviates from the set frame rate, the operation control indicator glows red and the camera display shows the warning for asynchronous running (“asy”). The synchronization of the shutter and the movement is also monitored. Should an undue deviation in the synchronization occur, the camera will stop. The display will show “asy”. This monitor function is built into the electronic control of the drive system.
Appendix Display: Monitoring Defective Note: The warning “Monitoring Defective” can be overridden by switching off and on the camera’s main switch. m Motion Control Error Codes In motion control mode the camera will display an error code in the bottom line of menu 8 if a control error occured: no exit code / no error occured / everything ok fps Overspeed transport Loose Film Loops in the Magazine If the camera shuts off automatically while running, loose film loops may be formed in the magazine.
Note: When the external motion control computer cammands the camera a shutter angle bigger than 180° or smaller than 11,2° the camera will display a flashing shutter angle reading to indicate that the actual position reference to the step&direction inputs might be lost. Note: When the camera exits the motion control mode because of a fault a permanent beep will occur until the camera is restarted or the error was checked in the motion control error menu.
