To wash a continuous rotation camera station, you need to set a preset wash position. To set the preset
wash position, ensure that the camera is orientated directly at the wash nozzle and save that pan and tilt
position as preset position 128. Sending a wash command moves the pan and tilt head to preset 128,
performs the wash function and returns to its original start position, making it simple to wash while operating.
The wash process will be as follows if the pan and tilt head is continuous:
l The camera will move to preset 128.
l The wiper will start.
l The washer will start.
l The washer will stop.
l After a few seconds have elapsed, the camera will return from preset 128 to where it was previously.

6 Troubleshooting
6.1 Troubleshooting Connectivity Problems
No Connection
Check the status of the Ethernet link activity on the RJ45 socket on the equipment the camera is controlled
with. If the LEDs are unlit, check the LAN connection.
Warning: For the best transmission quality, the Ethernet cable should not exceed 100 metres in
length.
Note: Switch port LED indicators may differ between different Ethernet devices.
Setup: Fixed cameras are fully wired for 1000MB/s speed.The PTZ model is only wired for
100MB/s speed. When a PTZ device is used, the port speed of the connected switch should be
fixed to 100MB/s to avoid false auto negotiation of 1000MB/s speeds.
The C3000 camera station can be fitted with a visual camera or a thermal imager.
Ensure that it is powered on properly and that the supply fuse is not blown.
To trace a fault in the video signal transmission path, you will require specialist test equipment. This should
be carried out by a suitable Synectics-trained engineer.
If you experience any issues after upgrading the camera station, clearing your web browser's Java cache
might solve these.
In Internet Explorer, you can do this by continually pressing Ctrl + F5 until the webpage refreshes.
In Firefox, navigate to Tools->History->Clear Recent History (Or press Ctrl+Shft+Del in older versions).

Click the drop-down menu next to Time range to clear and select Everything.
Click the arrow next to Details and ensure the Cache item is selected and click Clear Now, then refresh
your browser.
The thermal imager has a fixed-focus lens which is focused at infinity at the factory, and the lens focus
should not normally need field adjustment.
If your camera requires refocusing, it must be carried out by a suitable, Synectics-trained engineer.
By default, the high resolution thermal imager contrast display is set to 'MEAN' which should be adequate
for most applications. This will provide automatic adjustment of the scene, allowing hot objects/persons to
white out while retaining the surroundings to aid orientation. A particular installation could require an
adjustment to the settings, to improve the image display. For more details, see Camera Station Webpages
on page 42.
Copyright 2019 © Synectic Systems Group Limited. All rights reserved. 92 of 120
COEX™ 3000 Camera Station with Integrated IP Installation, Operation and Maintenance I USER MANUAL
You might observe differences in the way the thermal imager performs at different times of the day, due to
the diurnal cycle of the sun. The camera produces an image based on temperature differences.
At certain times of the day, for example, just before dawn, the objects in the image may all be roughly the
same temperature, compared to other times of the day. Compare this to imagery immediately after sunset,
when objects in the image may be radiating heat energy that has been absorbed during the day due to solar
loading. Greater temperature differences in the scene generally will allow the camera to produce high-
contrast imagery.
To determine if the problem is related to the stepper control PCB itself, check if you have control of the
camera module zoom lens, and that the wiper mechanism is operational. If all are operating, this suggests
that the stepper control PCB is faulty, or that there is a data connection problem. For access to and replacing
the PCB, see Maintenance on page 95.
If no controls or functions are available, it could be a data cable fault. This will require specialist test
equipment and an investigation to be carried out by a suitable Synectics-trained engineer.
No Wiper Operation
The window wiper mechanism is activated by the camera control PCB within the camera housing, upon
receipt of a valid auxiliary command from the control system. The camera PCB latches the required voltage
switch to the wiper motor mechanism, until the OFF command is sent. Failure could be due to a wiring fault
or a mechanism failure. Investigation of the fault should be carried out by a a suitable Synectics-trained
engineer.
In the event of a repair being carried out, a possible cause of the wiper fault could be a failure to configure the
new camera control PCB for the correct auxiliary switching function. For more information, see Auxiliaries -
Setup and Configuration on page 34.
Note: You must have firmware version 1.0.0.2 or higher for this functionality.
Warning: The internal components are extremely sensitive to Electro Static Discharge (ESD).
Take anti-static precautions to prevent potential damage to the internal components.
1. Power down the unit.
2. Detach the cover plate of the camera housing. Remove the M5 x16 hex cap head screws and wash-
ers (Items 1 and 2) and put them in a safe place.
3. Extract the camera chassis carefully, so as not to damage the o-ring seal. Check for signs of damage.

The germanium optic has a diamond-like coating (DLC), or 'hard carbon coating', which was designed for
use on naval decks, to protect from salt spray and other airborne particles.
The thermal window should not normally require cleaning, unless the environment is particularly dirty,
causing contaminants to be deposited on the window. This may become evident by a gradual deterioration
of the quality of video display from the thermal imager.
Warning: Do not apply any solvents to the cement holding the window in place, as this may
damage the cemented joint. Take care when cleaning these windows, as damage is more likely
when removing dirt or debris than damage by weathering. Ensure that no abrasive materials are
used.
Materials required:
l Optical-grade tissue (for example, Edmund Industrial Optics P/N 52105 or similar product)
l Pure water (de-ionized or any other)
l Isopropyl alcohol (IPA)
l Loctite 222
l Torque wrench and 3mm hex socket kit
Procedure
The cleaning of the thermal window must be carried out in accordance with the following instructions:
1. Carefully remove the three M4x10 hex cap screws and window guard, and keep in a safe place.
2. Saturate a piece of the lens tissue with the water and drape it over the window.
3. Allow the surface tension of the water to pull the tissue onto the window surface and then drag the tis-
sue across the surface.
4. Repeat several times with several pieces of tissue until clean.
5. Repeat the same step using IPA instead of water. Drag the final piece of tissue over the window sev-
eral times to prevent pooling, which could leave a residue behind.
6. Allow the optic to dry by evaporation (not by rubbing).
7. Apply Loctite 222 to the three M4 hex cap screws and re-fit the guard.
8. Tighten the screws to a torque value of 2.2Nm (1.6lbf.ft).
Warning: The thermal window guard is a critical part of the camera’s explosion protection
method. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the guard is re-fitted with the appropriate
Loctite and torque settings for the mounting screws.
