Hi,

I have a QSI 683-WSG8 that I didn't used very much the last two years due to a new permanent setup. As I planned to build a new mobile setup, I decided to use it again. Every thing was working well the first time. But the second time (two days later), the camera emitted a bip on power on, followed by a sequence of yellow LED blinks. According the information I found this is related to a firmware update. But I haven't initiated any firmware update. So, could this be something else ?

I can see the camera in the Windows Device Manager, but I can't connect it.


Regards,

Julien

Julien,

hi,

Changing the cable doesn't solve the problem.

I tried to read the flash sequence, all in yellow : _ . _ . (short pause)? _ _ . _

Julien,

I have copied this from somewhere previously....for my QSI camera:

QSI Camera Beep Codes;

?

Here is the list of beep codes:

Red Amber Description

1 1 Camera over temperature limit
1 2 Camera under temperature limit
1 3 Camera under voltage limit
1 4 Camera over voltage limit
1 5 Filter wheel error or missing
1 6 Shutter disc error or missing

Fatal Errors:

Red Amber Description
2 1 Host descriptor error
2 2 Host command error
2 3 USB buffer overrun
2 4 USB no acknowledgement
2 9 Watchdog timeout

?

I have some additional codes. Wondering if the last one applies (no red involved):

Special codes:
Solid amber (at power up): Camera performing the power on self test.
Green flashing: Power on complete, waiting for USB cable connection.
Solid green: Camera OK, USB cable connected to host (but not necessarily a software open connection).
Flashing red: Camera is exposing an image.
Solid amber (after an exposure): Camera is transferring data to the host.
Amber with the flash pattern-- long-short-long-short, pause, long-long-short-long (Morse code 'CQ'):
The camera is in the boot-loader mode, either due to a connection by the QSI Updater application, or due to a power-on firmware check-sum error.

Yes, it's the last one. Given your description this doesn't sound good.

Hi Julien

?

I had a problem similar to this several years ago with a QSI 516 WSG camera - after a number of attempts I discovered a loose filter that was causing a jam in the filter tray and probably causing?a current?overload.? Cleared the filter and the camera has since worked without out issue.? Long shot but maybe worth checking.

Here’s an online manual for the 500-600 series cameras. ?Pages 26-28 have various LED blink error codes.
