IR Warning
Infrared (IR) is emitted from the CCFC. Do not look directly at the
IR LED when the CCFC is connected to power.
The CCFC utilizes 2 high intensity nonvisible IR (850 nm) LEDs
for night vision illumination.
Do not make physical contact with the IR LEDs or place any body
part near the IR LEDs (less than 5cm) while the camera is powered
on. When in close proximity with the illuminated IR LEDs, there is
a potential skin burn hazard.
See Section 5 Cautionary Statements for more information.

CCFC Field Camera
1. Introduction
Figure 1-1 CCFC Camera
The CCFC is designed to meet the stringent operational
requirements necessary for remote battery powered installations,
while producing HD video and photos of up to 5 megapixels. The
CCFC can operate over a wide temperature range and has several
advanced power saving modes to suit a variety of needs.
The CCFC incorporates an integrated rugged environmental
enclosure to reduce cost and installation time. Communication
options include Ethernet, Wi-Fi, RS-232, and RS-485. The CCFC
is fully web-enabled with HTTP, FTP, and Email capabilities.
Campbell Scientific’s PakBus protocol is supported by the CCFC
for integration with Campbell Scientific dataloggers.
The camera contains an onboard camera memory that enables the
camera to function as a powerful photo and video datalogger. The
internal 16GB camera memory enables the CCFC to archive
photos and video internally.
The CCFC can operate in a stand-alone mode with photo
acquisitions triggered by the camera’s own precision real time
clock. Media (photo and video) acquisitions can also be triggered
by events through an external trigger or motion detect.

3. Initial Inspection
Upon receipt of the CCFC, inspect the packaging and contents
for damage. File any damage claims with the shipping
company. Immediately check package contents against the
shipping documentation. Contact Campbell Scientific about
any discrepancies.
The model number and cable length are printed on a label at
the connection end of the cable (if a cable was purchased).
Check this information against the shipping documents to
ensure the expected product and cable length are received.
The CCFC is shipped with a Quick Start Guide, 2 screws, 2
lock washers, 2 flat washers, 4 Lens wipes, a ResourceDVD,
and the Female DB9 to Terminal block adaptor (L28840).
4. Quick Notes
4.1 CCFC General
When ordering the CCFC series, use the model numbers
CCFC RS2332 or CCFC RS485 (see Sections 13 RS-232
Communications and Section 14 RS-485
Communications).
The Setup Button’s Status LED will flash when the
camera is in an Active Power State.
Note

CCFC Field Camera
5
When the Status LED is steadily on, the camera is booting
up. Avoid interrupting this process.
Briefly pressing the Setup Button always causes the
camera to exit from any low powered quiescent states and
enables the Ethernet interface for communications. The
camera will remain in this state for 5 minutes.
An active session to the camera with a web browser
prevents the camera from entering a low powered state.
Avoid removing power from the camera when it is in an
active state. If the camera is in an active state (Status LED
is flashing), properly shutdown the camera to avoid any
memory corruption before removing power. The camera
can be shut down by holding the Setup Button
continuously for more than 10 seconds or by using the
Power Icon on the web interface.
Always ensure that all cable connectors and covers are
securely in place.
Record any changes to the IP settings of the camera. This
information is important to gain access to the camera for
focusing or reconfiguration.
The camera configuration file can be imported or exported
via the web interface. This feature can be found under
Import/Export.
Check the Campbell Scientific website for firmware
updates that may apply.
4.2 Campbell Dataloggers Users
If interfacing to a datalogger, ensure that the datalogger
has the latest PakBus operating system.
Use either the CCFC built in-web interface, the Device
Configuration Utility, or PakBus Graph to change settings
in the camera.
Use the Device Configuration Utility to change settings in
MD485 or other PakBus devices.
The Device Configuration Utility can also be used to set
the datalogger memory and PakBus parameters.

CCFC Field Camera
6
Files (pictures or video) must be less than 2 MB for
PakBus transmissions.
The datalogger instruction SendVariables can be used to
send variables or text to the camera, for use in photo or
video captions. The instruction can also be used to control
the window defroster.
4.3 Configuration Process
1. Determine what will trigger the capture of a photo or video.
Options include:
a. Timed Capture –Enable and configure Timed Capture 1,
Timed Capture 2, or both. To set this up using the web
interface, see Section 12.4.1 Timed Capture.
b. External Trigger –Enable and configure the External
Trigger Capture. To set this up using the web interface, see
Section 12.4.2 External Trigger.
c. Motion Detect –Enable and configure Motion Detect
Capture. To set this up using the web interface, see Section
12.4.3 Motion Detect.
2. Select the Power Mode that best suits the requirements (see
Table 4-1 Power Mode Summary). Options are:
a. Fully On –Used if no power constraints exist or if high
performance is required.
b. Partially On –Provides substantial reduction in power
(especially with the Ethernet Power Mode set to Full Power
Save).
c. Deep Sleep –Provides very good power savings. The camera
does not need to reboot when activated by a trigger.
Recommended for use if more than 24 triggers are expected per
day.
d. Off Mode –Offers the best power savings. Useful, if less
than 24 photos or video captures are required per day. It takes
about 90 seconds for the camera to wake up to start acquiring a
picture.
