  • 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.

    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.

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.

    User Manual NOTE The CC5MPX will not send any files using PakBus that are greater than 2MB. 16.2 CR1000 Files Manager The Files Manager setting on the CR1000 facilitates the management of JPEG and AVI files that are received from the camera. The Files Manager allows the user to specify a name for the files and the number of files kept in a ring memory type fashion.
  • Page 94: Remote Image Retrieval

    Loggernet communications can be used to retrieve images and video remotely from the datalogger memory. There are also permanent links available in the CC5MPX webserver to download the most recently captured images or video files that have been saved to the SD card. Refer to Section 5.4.1 for details.

    User Manual It is possible to configure the File Retrieval to delete files once retrieved from the datalogger. If datalogger memory capacity is a concern, it is recommended to use this feature. To add a file retrieval process, start by clicking “Add New” under File Pattern. Once added the Edit File Pattern, Output Directory, and Max Files parameter become available to fill out.

    CC5MPX & CC5MPX-Z Digital Network Camera When using the optional Mounting Kit, align the outer holes of the CC5MPX with the centre hole and the 180° slot of the mount. Loosely secure the two together with the two ¼-20 x 0.5” Hex bolts included with the kit. It is now possible to mount the CC5MPX to either a crossarm or other mounting surface with the included u-bolt.

    It is recommended that the O-rings be inspected whenever opened or at a minimum of every two years (with desiccant replacement) to ensure that the seal integrity is maintained. Contact Campbell Scientific for details on replacement parts. It is important to note that the Button Cap O-ring and the Front Main Body O-ring are both glued into place to prevent the O-rings from inadvertently falling out.

    User Manual 19.4 CC5MPX Desiccant The CC5MPX contains 3 small Desiccant packs inside of the camera. If the camera is frequently opened (i.e. backplate or lens tube removed), then the desiccant packs of the camera should be replaced yearly. Otherwise the desiccant packs should be replaced every 2 years as preventative maintenance.

    The SD memory card must be formatted to FAT32. • If a memory card is removed from the CC5MPX to read or download its contents, do not delete or add files manually. If it is desired to delete files from the card, it is recommended to reformat the entire card (using FAT32) or to use the CC5MPX Web Interface to delete them.
