OPERATION
The Miro C cameras and N5 Bases have an internal, non-removable battery designed to
provide back-up power to complete an operation and safely save a cine in the event of power
loss to the camera or base. The following description of battery operation pertains to both
Miro C cameras and the N5 bases. Only for simplicity, the description refers only to the
camera. The battery is UNDOT 38.3 qualified and has a total capacity of 8.4 volts. When the
battery activates, it ready to provide power to the camera in the event DC power is lost, and
the LED is Green. The following conditions must be met for battery to activate:
•
The camera has DC power and is fully booted.
•
The battery is charged to at least 8.0 volts.
•
In the Battery Control Section in PCC, the box
"Enable Battery" is checked (Default).
The 3 modes of operation are:
Preview Mode (Selectable): This mode provides a 2-minute window to disconnect and
reposition cameras during set-up without needing to re-boot the cameras. The battery
activates when the camera is placed in Preview mode. If the camera is disconnected from DC
power, the battery will supply power for up to 2 minutes. If the camera is not reconnected to
DC power within 2 minutes, the battery automatically deactivates and turns off the camera.
The battery operation mode does not automatically change to Capture when the camera is
placed in Capture.
Capture Mode (Selectable): This mode allows the camera to operate in Capture mode for a
short period without DC power. In the event of DC power loss, the battery will supply power to
the camera either for 3, 5 or 10 minutes (Selectable). If the camera triggers within this time
span, the battery operation mode automatically switches to Trigger Mode to protect the data.
