four red light

Post by coutie »

On my track IR, there are four red lights, and after a while, the green light at the top turns red and the device is very hot. I was wondering what those mean because it doesn't seem to work very well when they are there.

The 4 red LEDS in the middle are the IR LEDS that the camera uses to track you with.

As for the other LEDS.....

The TrackIR camera has status LEDs which give the user visual cues about the status of the TrackIR software. There are two Status LEDs, one is located on the front directly above the infrared shield, and the other is on the underside of the TrackIR camera which will cause the case to "glow" blue when it is illuminated. Use the following key to interpret what the state and color of the status LEDs mean.

Front Status LED

Off : NO reflective surface is being tracked, and TrackIR Enhanced output is NOT paused.
Green : A reflective surface IS being tracked, and TrackIR Enhanced output is NOT paused.
Orange : A reflective surface IS being tracked, and TrackIR Enhanced output IS paused.
Red : NO reflective surface is being tracked, and TrackIR Enhanced output IS paused.
Flashing Blue or Green : Low power or stand by mode.

Blue Case LED

Off : There is NO TrackIR Enhanced Title (game or simulation) running.
Glowing Blue : A TrackIR Enhanced Title IS running and has registered with the TrackIR software to receive tracking data.
Note : If the Case LED has been disabled in the Tracking -> Settings window, it will not turn on.
