CC640 Digital Camera 2. Introduction The CC640 digital camera was designed to meet the stringent operational requirements necessary for remote battery powered installations. The CC640 has a very low quiescent power draw and can operate over a wide temperature range. The camera contains a CompactFlash memory card interface that turns the camera into a powerful image logger. The combination of JPEG compression and memory card storage enables the CC640 to store over 10,000 images.
CC640 Digital Camera TABLE 1a.
CC640 Digital Camera 2.2 Configuring The camera uses PakBus protocol to send image files to the datalogger and both the camera and the datalogger must be configured to enable communication. The RS-232 port is used in conjunction with the Device Configuration software to change settings and operating parameters in the camera (Section 5). Device Configuration Utility is a free download from any Campbell Scientific website. 2.
CC640 Digital Camera NOTE • Use the Device Configuration Utility to change settings in the camera and other PakBus devices. Datalogger parameters can also be incorporated into the datalogger program or changed with a keyboard display. • Verify that the lens cable is properly seated, as the connector may inadvertently become unplugged during handling or installation. Device Configuration Utility is included in LoggerNet, PC400, and as a free download. Always place the Power Switch in the Auto Position.
CC640 Digital Camera 3.2 Power Switch The power switch can be used to power the camera continuously on or to place the camera in Auto power mode. The switch should not be left in the On position under normal operation. Leaving the switch in the On position will prevent the camera from entering its low power quiescent mode of operation. The power switch does need to be placed to the On position to perform configuration setup or to focus the camera.
CC640 Digital Camera The video output can be turned on and/or off by pressing the Setup Button when the power switch is in the ON position. During every image acquisition sequence the video output will be momentarily activated when the image is acquired, allowing the operator to view the image that is being captured. 3.6 External I/O Connector The External I/O connector provides inputs and outputs for operating camera peripherals.

CC640 Digital Camera 6.2 External Trigger Mode An image acquisition can also be triggered from the Ext. Input Signal on the camera. It is recommended that a short pulse be used to initiate the image acquisition. If a positive voltage is applied and not removed before the image acquisition sequence is complete, the camera will begin another image acquisition immediately after. An image acquisition can be as short as 10 Seconds. See Section 2.3 for a program example.
CC640 Digital Camera The banner ends with the internal camera temperature displayed in degrees Kelvin. This is intended for diagnostic purposes. The temperature is displayed in degrees Kelvin so that there is no confusion that the temperature represents some ambient temperature. The temperature is internal and can vary substantially from the actual ambient temperature. To convert the temperature to degrees Celsius subtract 273 from the value displayed. FIGURE 10. Illustration of Time Stamp Banner 7.
CC640 Digital Camera compression will produce the smallest files but with the most degradation of the image. Small files may be important for slow telecommunication links or for applications that require a large number of pictures to be stored onto the memory card. Very high compression is the recommended setting to produce satisfactory results for most applications while taking advantage of the benefits of smaller file sizes. 8.

It is much easier to use a larger monitor in an office environment, rather than a portable TV at the installation site, as sunlight tends to make it difficult to view a television screen outdoors. 8.1.1 Temperature Variations and Focus The CC640 can operate under extreme temperature variations. The focus of the lens can change slightly with large variations in temperature.
CC640 Digital Camera 9.1 Lithium Battery The Camera is equipped with a Lithium Thionyl Chloride Battery. The battery maintains the clock functionality for periods when power is not connected to the camera. The expected battery life is 2 years. If the camera is in operation and connected to a power supply, the battery life may be extended up to 10 Years. It is recommended that the battery be replaced by a certified repair facility.
CC640 Digital Camera 10.2 Communication Communication can enable remote retrieval and/or storage of images to external devices such as compatible Campbell Scientific dataloggers. The PakBus protocol is used to transfer the images. 10.2.1 Communication Disabled When a camera is not connected to other devices for communication then it is important to: • Set the parameter PakBus Port to None 10.2.
CC640 Digital Camera • Set the parameter PakBus Destination Address to the device that is intended to retrieve the images. • Set the RS-232 BAUD rate to match the BAUD rate of the device being connected to the camera. Refer to Section 3 for additional information and connections diagrams using the RS-232 port. 10.2.4 RS-485 Communication The camera can download images via its RS-485 port using the PakBus protocol.
CC640 Digital Camera 11.1 Standalone Operation In standalone mode the camera operates as a self-contained image logger. The current draw of the camera while in low power quiescent mode is 250uA. When the camera wakes up to take a picture, operating current draw increases to a maximum of 250 mA for approximately 30 seconds. In order to calculate the daily power usage of the camera, both the quiescent and operating power consumptions need to be calculated.

LoggerNet File Control Screen 14.3 Task Setup / LNCMD.EXE Automated image collection can be achieved by setting up a Task in Loggernet that executes the LNCMD.EXE executable. A sample screen of a Task setup that executes LNCMD.EXE is shown in FIGURE 14 Task Setup. In this example the station CR10XPB is a station that is setup in Loggernet. The Add Scheduled button can be used to create a task with a programmable schedule.
CC640 Digital Camera FIGURE 14. Task Setup In the above example the task will execute on its own schedule separate from data collection. A task can also be created that calls the LNCMD.EXE after scheduled data is collected. This may be more desirable for stations that are called using a dial up connection to eliminate separate dialling for data and images.
CC640 Digital Camera FIGURE 15. Task using Add After to Collect Images after Scheduled Call Note that it is necessary to specify the directory in which the files are located for the CR800, CR850, CR1000, and CR3000. In our example the USR: drive is selected. Another option is the CRD: drive if the CompactFlash module is used with the CR1000 or CR3000. 15. Installation The camera must be installed in an environmentally sealed enclosure that offers protection from moisture or high humidity.
