Display Warning Graphics

®
The Argus F-Type is equipped with an advanced microprocessor based control
and user warning system. In addition to controlling the automatic operation of the
camera to ensure the best possible picture at all times, the control system provides
graphics on the display to alert the user to certain conditions as follows:
•
Over-temperature Warning
As the circuitry within the camera approaches its maximum internal
operating temperature, a warning symbol in the shape of a
thermometer will appear to the left of the battery display. The camera
will continue to operate at this temperature, but the user may see
some degradation of the image quality.
If the user ignores this warning and continues to operate the camera in very high
temperatures, the warning symbol will flash.
When the flashing temperature warning is present, the camera is very
close to its absolute operating limit and the image will start to degrade
considerably. The user must remove the unit from the high ambient
temperature at this time; failure to comply may result in permanent
damage to the unit. Failure to act upon this level of warning may result in
serious damage to the system and may invalidate the warranty.
•
General System Failure Warning
As part of the operation of the system, the microprocessor monitors
certain functions and displays an internationally recognised warning
symbol if it detects a fault. The warning, which takes the form of an
exclamation mark within a triangle, will appear to the left of the
battery status indicator.
If the warning appears and if appropriate, turn the camera off and leave for five
minutes. Turn the camera on and check if the warning symbol has disappeared.
If the warning symbol is still present, or the symptoms return, contact e2v
technologies.
Failure to act upon this level of warning may result in serious damage to
the system and may invalidate the warranty.
