Status Indicator

Used in conjunction with the Focus Assistant, this multi-colored indicator can be used as a local focusing aid (see Focusing Your Camera, on page 17). Under normal conditions, however, this indicator defines the operational status of the camera, as described below:

•Green - the indicator flashes briefly and momentarily displays orange during the start-up and self-test routines. The indicator then displays green to indicate a healthy unit status.

•Red - the indicator will display red only if a problem with the AXIS 2420 has occurred. Refer to Appendix A - Troubleshooting.

Note: The Status Indicator can also be made to flash whenever images are displayed in a browser. See the on-line help for more information.

Important!

If you are using the AXIS 2420 in an outdoor application, it must be housed in a weatherproof enclosure and must be fitted with a DC-Iris lens to automatically regulate the amount of light entering the cam- era. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or halogen light will damage the CCD. Consequently, Axis rec- ommends observing extreme caution when installing the camera in strong sunlight. Failure to do so may invalidate the product warranty. The AXIS 2420 W/Lens is supplied with a DC-Iris lens as standard.
