  • Page 8: Introduction

    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.

  • Page 9: Standalone Mode

    If the distance between the camera and datalogger will be less than 25 ft (7.6 m), the camera typically connects to the datalogger via the COMCBL1-L cable. Campbell Scientific recommends using the MD485 multiplexer if the distance between the camera and datalogger needs to be more than 25 ft (7.6 m).

  • Page 10: Configuring

    2.5 Additional Reference Material The CC640 Operating Manual is intended for use by those experienced in working with Campbell Scientific dataloggers. For further information regarding the various uses and applications of the CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR3000, CR510PB, CR10XPB, CR23XPB, MD485, or any additional technology listed in this manual, refer to the appropriate Operating Manuals of these products.

  • Page 11: Camera Hardware Description

    CC640 Digital Camera • 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.

  • Page 12: Power Switch

    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.

  • Page 13: External I/O Connector

    3.6 External I/O Connector The External I/O connector provides inputs and outputs for operating camera peripherals. Please contact a Campbell Scientific sales representative for details and availability of the CC640 peripherals. The Ext. (External Control) input signal can be used to initiate an image acquisition.

  • Page 14: Compactflash Memory Card

    The CompactFlash card is also used to provide a means of updating the camera’s embedded firmware. This is done by downloading the appropriate files from any Campbell Scientific website, renaming the new firmware hex file as “NEWCODE.HEX” (all upper case), and placing it in the root directory of the CompactFlash memory card.

  • Page 15: Cs I/O And Rs-232 Connections

    CC640 Digital Camera remove the memory card, and delete the “NEWCODE.HEX” file using a PC if no other cameras need to be updated. Leaving the file on the memory card will cause the camera to repeatedly update its firmware every time the camera wakes up from its quiescent mode.

    4.4 CS I/O Port The CS I/O port on the camera provides a connector for CS I/O communication. The port is designed to communicate with Campbell Scientific dataloggers equipped with CS I/O communication ports. A ribbon cable assembly (C1947) is used to provide a male 9-pin connector that can plug directly to the CS I/O port or to an SC-12 cable that connects to the CS I/O port.
