Voyager III System Startup
CHAPTER 3

System Startup and Shutdown

The Voyager III camera does not have an on/off switch. Instead, its power state is
controlled by the JCU. Generally, the camera is never completely off but in a
standby state waiting for a "wake" command from the JCU.
Typically, the Voyager III system is connected to its power source through a circuit
breaker, which functions as the primary on/off switch for the system. Should it be
necessary for some reason to completely shut down the system, the circuit
breaker is used. In normal operation, however, the camera will have power and
will be in one of three states or modes:
• Bootup, or powering on
• Powered on, or fully functional
• Standby, a low-power state waiting for a wake command

The Bootup Process

The bootup process is slightly different depending on whether the system had
been completely turned off or is being wakened from a standby state. Most of
what happens, however, is the same.
If you are starting from a full shutdown, make sure your monitor is turned on. Then
power on the system. When the JCU receives power, an amber light on the
Power/DIM button comes on. Press and hold the JCU Power/DIM button to wake
the camera.
