Troubleshooting S series sensor and cables

Modified on Thu, 8 Mar, 2018 at 2:24 PM

Note: Make sure that you are using the correct sensor modules with the camera. It is not possible to use 14 series sensor modules with a 15 series camera and visa versa.

__


Test - 1 Start condition


- Go to >Admin >Image Sensor Configuration menu and set both sensors to No Sensor, Set, Close, and Ok.

- Go to >Admin >Store current configuration, click on Store permanently,  and reboot the camera.

- Remove power and configure the cables and sensors as follows


Cam1     cable A     sensor 1

Cam2     cable B     sensor 2


- Restore power


+ If both of the sensors are displayed in the live image then the automatic sensor configuration only needed to be reinitialized and you are now finished.

+ If one of the sensors are not shown in the live view of the camera note which one and continue with Test - 2 and 3.

__


Test - 2  Swap Sensors


- Remove power and configure the cables and sensors as follows


Cam1     cable A     sensor 2

Cam2     cable B     sensor 1


- Restore power


+ If the sensor that is not working after swapping moves to the other port then the sensor  sensor faulty.

+ If the sensor that is not shown stays on the same port then the problem could be the  camera or the cable.

Test - 3  Swap Cables


- Remove power and configure the cables and sensors as follows


Cam1     cable B     sensor 2

Cam2     cable A     sensor 1


- Restore power
