Initial Operation
ON-OFF
switch
Amber Light
If power is applied properly to the system, the HCG amber light will light with
orange. (when the HCG is still in the OFF position).
Set the ON/OFF switch on the HCG to STBY. Wait one second and then set it to
ON. When using a Host Controller (HC), transmit the standby command to the
payload via the serial link.
After 60 seconds, the amber light on the HCG will turn green.
If the payload uses a dual HCG application, than only one HCG, typically the
primary HCG will be able to turn ON or OFF the payload.
⌦
Important:
If the power supply which drives the payload, contains a
current consumption display (the +28VDC current), verify that
the current consumption during activation of the system does
not exceed 5A (Also see that its current limit switch will not
limit you).
For a fraction of a second after applying power, the current consumption reaches
of a peak of 8A. During the first few minutes of operation (FLIR cooler is
operating in full rate), the current consumption is up to 4A. After approximately 4
to 8 minutes the current stabilizes around 3A.
The system can be shutdown at any time, regardless of the operation mode.
Reactivation of the system shall be done after a period of at least 30 seconds.
This period is required in order to enable the gyro to sufficiently slow down, to
prevent a high "feedback voltage" that may occur if the system is activated again.
µ
Warning
Wait at least 30 seconds, between shutdown and reapplying power to the system.
