Page 13: Introduction
The CC5MPX incorporates an integrated rugged environmental enclosure to reduce cost and installation time. Communication options include Ethernet, RS-232, and RS-485. The CC5MPX is fully web-enabled with FTP and Email capabilities. Campbell Scientific’s PakBus protocol is supported by the CC5MPX for integration with Campbell Scientific dataloggers. When required, an optional lens defroster is available. -
Page 14: Specifications
Option) * Quiescent: 1 mA Maximum (Off power mode) * WARNING The CC5MPX is specified to operate on a 9-30 VDC supply input range. When the window defroster is installed the 30VDC maximum must be reduced to 16 VDC. Operating the CC5MPX with window defroster at voltages greater than 16 VDC can cause damage to the CC5MPX. -

Always 4.2 Power & I/O Cable Details The Power & I/O cable that is used for the CC5MPX camera has an outdoor environmentally rated screw type connector on one end and discrete wire pigtails on the other end that allow for flexible termination. When making the cable connection to the camera the notch positions should always be lined up and care should be taken to not cross thread the connector. -
Page 25: Ethernet Cables
4.3 Ethernet Cables The Ethernet connection is used to configure the camera settings as well as for targeting and focusing the camera. The Ethernet port of the CC5MPX is auto MDIX, therefore an Ethernet crossover cable is not required when connecting the camera to other devices. -
Page 26: Camera Hardware Description
Figure 5-1 CC5MPX Connector Layout 5.1 Ethernet RJ-45 Connection The RJ45 connector on the camera is meant to interface the CC5MPX with either a network router, cellular modem, or directly to a laptop. If a permanent Ethernet connection is not required for an outdoor environment, then the protective cap must be securely attached to the Ethernet connector to provide an environmental seal. -
Page 27: Setup Button/Status Led
Once the Setup button is pushed the CC5MPX enters a fully on power mode for a period of 5 minutes. During this interval you are able to access the camera via either Ethernet or RS-232/485 and make any necessary configuration changes. -

Once the contents of the memory card are read or downloaded, it is recommended to reformat the memory card (using FAT32) to delete the entire contents. The CC5MPX writes binary files to the memory card to facilitate file management. Deleting or editing the contents of the memory card manually outside of the camera will invalidate the binary files, causing image &... -

User Manual 10. RS-485 Communications The optional RS-485 communication interface of the CC5MPX can be used in conjunction with the MD485 to interface a datalogger to one or more cameras. Refer to the MD485 manual for additional information. The MD485 is useful for connecting more than one camera to a datalogger or if long cable lengths are involved. -
Page 80: Pakbus Communications
The CC5MPX is capable of producing video files that exceed 30MB in size. Trying to send such a large file to a datalogger using PakBus can be problematic. For this reason the CC5MPX is setup to not send any files using PakBus that are larger than 2MB. -

Page 90: Standalone Operation
CC5MPX & CC5MPX-Z Digital Network Camera 15.1 Standalone Operation In standalone mode the camera operates as a self-contained image and video logger. Files will be stored onto the internal SD memory card.

Page 91: Operation With Communications
User Manual 15.2 Operation with Communications The power calculations are more complicated when communications are involved, as the amount of time the camera is in the Fully On active state is increased by the amount of time it takes for the camera to transfer an image or video. -
