Summary
The Proxicam Pedestrian Detection System features built-in diagnostics and visual status indicators across its hardware components to ensure operational readiness. Validating the system status upon initial power-on and utilizing the Configuration App's system logs are critical steps in confirming the hardware is healthy and actively protecting the machine's perimeter.
Hardware Function: Status Indicators
- Camera LEDs (PXCAM-EVO):
Front-facing LEDs give a visual indication of the system's status and health, including the start-up sequence. Detection Indicator (PXLED):
Issues a "System-Ready" notification consisting of a double flash and audible tone on start-up.
System Validation Steps
- Pre-Power Check:
Ensure all system components are fully connected prior to turning the machine's power On. - Power Initialization:
Turn the machine's ignition on. The Proxicam system will start automatically with the machine. - Observe Camera Status:
Check the front face of the PXCAM-EVO camera(s). The status LEDs will indicate the start-up sequence and display the current operational health. [TBD: Missing Info - Specific LED colour codes for active and error states]. - Verify PXLED Alerts (If Equipped):
If you are running a standalone system with the Detection Indicator (PXLED), listen and look for the System-Ready Notification. The system will issue a double flash of the LED and an audible tone to confirm boot-up has completed and the detection zones are fully active. - Verify DV-Hub Status (If Equipped):
Check the front panel LEDs on the DV-Hub. Observe the alternating colour combinations to confirm the system's health and continuous recording status. [TBD: Missing Info - Specific DV-Hub LED colour codes]. - Software Validation:
To perform a digital health check, connect your smart device to the camera's local network via the USBCAL WiFi interface. Log into the Proxicam Configuration App and navigate to the System Settings menu. Verify that the Firmware and **HW Rev.** match your expected deployment versions.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
The PXLED did not flash or beep when I turned the machine on.
The PXLED System-Ready Notification is intentionally suppressed and will not sound when it is used in conjunction with the Proxicam DV-Hub. If you are running a standalone system, verify that power is reaching the unit and that the mandatory Proxicam Voltage Converter (PXVC) is correctly installed. The system will absolutely not issue alerts via the Detection Indicator without an input voltage applied to the Alarm-In wire.
How do I pull an error report if the camera status LED indicates a system fault?
Connect to the camera using the USBCAL WiFi Dongle and log into the Proxicam Configuration App using your web browser. Navigate to the System Settings menu and click Export Log to download the system's diagnostic log file. Provide this file to technical support. If necessary, you can also attempt to clear the fault by clicking Reset to Default to perform a factory reset of the camera.
