Section 7. Camera Operation Using Web Browser Interface 7.3.5.4 CC5MPXWD Heater Power Control The Heater Power Control settings control the operation of the CC5MPXWD window defroster. If enabled, the camera will only turn on the heater if the CC5MPXWD's internal temperature is below the threshold setting. The temperature threshold values are limited to -40°C to +25°C. If the option Always On is selected, the heater will be on whenever the temperature is below the threshold and the camera is not in a low powered state. If Minutes prior to schedule is selected, then the camera will wake up prior to any of the Self-Timed schedules and turn on the heater if the temperature is below the threshold settings. This feature does not work with motion detection or external trigger modes. This is useful for a remote site that may be prone to riming and frost. A camera that is setup to take hourly pictures can be configured to turn on the defroster several minutes prior to the scheduled picture to defrost the window. 7.3.6 Update The Update I/O sub menu (see FIGURE 7-17) provides the ability to update the firmware in the camera. It is recommended to check for firmware updates on the Campbell Scientific website to ensure that the camera has the most recent version of firmware. Once a file is downloaded, simply click on the Browse button to select the new firmware update file. Once the proper file is selected, click on the Update button and the process will begin. WARNING During the update process, DO NOT disconnect power, close the web browser, or navigate away from the Update page Once the firmware update process is completed, a web page will be displayed indicating that the process has completed. The camera will reboot itself and it will take a few minutes for the camera to operate as normal again. The firmware update process normally keeps all configuration settings in the camera. It is recommended to verify the settings after an update. 7-16
