7. Do not defeat the purpose of a polarized or grounded mains plug.
A polarized plug has dissimilar prongs (one wider than the other)
to ensure correct polarity, while a grounded plug has an
additional 'ground' prong provided for your safety. If the plug
supplied with the apparatus does not fit into your outlet, consult
an electrician for advice.
8. Protect the power-supply cord from being walked on or pinched,
particularly close to plugs, receptacles and the point where it exits
from the apparatus.
9. Only use attachments and accessories (including stands, tripods,
mounting brackets and housings) specified or recommended by
the manufacturer.
10. Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms and when unused
for extended periods.
11. Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
12. Servicing is required when the apparatus does not function in the
normal way, has been dropped, if liquid has been spilled on it, or
if it has been exposed to rain or water. Unplug the unit from the
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
13. An all-pole mains switch with contact separation of at least 3 mm
in each pole shall be incorporated in the electrical installation of
the building.

•Video-iris and DC-iris lenses are recommended for the best
picture performance.
•The camera automatically detects the type of lens used, and
optimizes performance accordingly.
•A spare male lens connector is provided if required.
CAUTION
•To avoid damaging the CCD sensor when using a Cmount lens, turn the 'green' back-focus ring counter
clockwise until it stops ('Back focus adjustment')
before mounting the lens.
•Lenses weighing more than 0.5 kg (1.1lbs) must be
separately supported.
Note:
If a short circuit is detected on the lens connector, the on-screen
display (OSD) failure message 'LENS SHORT CIRCUIT' is shown.
The lens circuit is automatically disabled to avoid internal damage.
Remove the lens connector and check the pin connections.
Back focus adjustment
•Camera accepts both C and CSmount lenses.
1. Unlock the back focus locking
button.

2. Turn the back focus adjustment as required. (See Note 1).
3. Lock the back focus locking button.
Notes:
1. To optimize picture sharpness in
both bright and low-level lighting, it
is recommended to adjust the back
focus when carrying out the set-up
procedure. The camera's unique
'Lens Wizard' allows focusing at
maximum lens opening to ensure that the object of interest
always remains in focus.
2. When back focusing vari-focus lenses, it must be possible to
obtain a sharp picture in both wide-angle and tele positions, and
for both far and near focus.
3. When back focusing zoom lenses, ensure the object of interest
remains in focus throughout the entire zoom range of the lens.
(See Advanced Set up).
CAUTION
Do not point the camera/lens into direct sunlight. When
viewing an outdoor scene, a video- or DC-iris lens is
recommended.
MOUNTING THE CAMERA
The camera can be mounted from
the top or bottom.
Note:
The BOTTOM mounting is
isolated from ground.
