• Installation and servicing is only to be carried out by suitably qualied and
experienced personnel.
• Do not remove covers as there is a risk of injury or death by electric shock.
• Only power low voltage dome cameras from a class 2 isolated power supply.
This camera range is designed for use in general purpose CCTV applications and has no other
purpose.
Only operate your camera between the temperatures of -10°C and +50°C. Do not operate your
camera outside its specied power supply range.
Electromagnetic Compatability (EMC)
This product is intended solely for use in general CCTV applications.
The product must be installed and maintained in accordance with good installation practice to enable
the product to function as intended and to prevent problems. Refer to your agent for installation
guidance.
Declaration of Conformity
The manufacturer declares that the equipment supplied with this manual is compliant with the
essential protection requirements of the EMC directive 89/336 and the Low Voltage Directive LVD
73/23 EEC.
Conforming to the requirements of standards EN55022 for emissions, EN61000-4 parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
and 11 for immunity and EN60950 for Electrical Equipment safety.
FCC CLASS B REGULATORY NOTICE
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired This equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a different circuit different to the receiver.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Modications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment under FCC rules.
In order to avoid damaging your camera, note the following points:
• Remove all packaging inserts and the protective lm from the dome cover before
using the camera.
• Do not touch the image surface of the sensor. If the sensor is accidentally touched,
only clean it using isopropanol.
• Do not expose the camera sensor to very bright light over a long period of time as
this may cause damage to the CCD sensor. The camera and lens set-up must be
correct to avoid possible damage due to long term exposure to bright light. A lens
with an automatic iris is recommended under these conditions.
The ICE dome camera can be mounted in two ways: ceiling mount for installation into a tile ceiling;
surface mount for installation directly to a hard surface or mounting structure.
Domes
Parts Supplied
• 2 x Plastic anchors
• 2 x 80 mm (3”) screws
Parts Not Supplied
• Optional video service lead (part number DM/ICED-SERV)
Surface Mount Ceiling Mount
Surface Mount Installation
Refer to the Quickstart section for more information.
1 To remove the dome cover, rotate it counter-clockwise and gently pull it away from
the camera body. The inner liner can now be removed.
2 Using the template supplied at the rear of this manual, mark and drill the holes
required for xing. Using the two 80 mm mounting screws, attach the dome camera
to the surface as shown. Do not over tighten the xing screws. The screws can
be used on their own if the surface is of a suitable material (e.g. wood), but plastic
anchors must be used where the surface is of brick or masonry construction. Run
the power and video cables to the camera. Cables may be fed through the ceiling
or through the cutout in the side of the camera shroud. Remove the cutout with a
sharp knife and use a round le to smooth the edges if necessary.
3 Connect the video to either the BNC at the end of the ying lead or directly to the
BNC. Use only one of the BNC connectors to connect video.
4 Connect the power to the power terminals. These cameras are designed to operate
from a 12V DC or 24V AC power supply. Connections and polarity are indicated
Warning: This camera is a Class 2 device and therefore does not have an earth connection in the
next to the terminals. The power supply must be a UL Listed, Class 2 isolated type.
Refer to the Quickstart section for more information.
1 To recess mount the camera, the shroud must be removed. Gently squeeze
together opposite sides of the shroud as shown and lift it away from the camera
body.
2 Using the template supplied at the rear of this manual, mark and cut a 4” (100 mm)
diameter hole. A suitably sized hole saw can also be used.
To prepare for installation use a suitable screwdriver to loosen the three xing
clamps sufciently to accommodate the thickness of the tile or ceiling.
3 Connect the video to either the BNC at the end of the ying lead or directly to the
BNC. Use only one of the BNC connectors to connect video.
Connect the power to the power terminals. These cameras are designed to operate
from a 12V DC or 24V AC power supply. Connections and polarity are indicated
next to the terminals. The power supply must be a UL Listed, Class 2 isolated type.
4 Insert the camera into the hole. Using a suitable screwdriver, tighten the three xing
clamps as shown. Do not overtighten the clamps.
Camera Adjustment
Camera Position
The camera assembly is adjustable in all three axes. Adjust the camera until it is pointing in the
desired direction.
FOV & Focus
Use the levers on the varifocal lens to adjust the camera’s eld of view, and focus.
The DIP switches are located on the camera’s circuit board.
Dip Switches
Note: White indicates default switch position
Backlight Compensation
The Backlight Compensation (BLC) feature compensates for back-lit scenes by enhancing objects in
the centre of the scene which would previously have been in silhouette. Select ON or OFF using the
BLC switch. Default is OFF.
AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
The Automatic Gain Control (AGC) feature can improve picture quality when levels of illumination
are low. Select ON or OFF using the AGC switch. For most applications the AGC feature should be
ON and is therefore the default setting.
Electronic Iris
The Electronic Iris (EI) feature compensates for excessive light levels by automatically adjusting the
shutter speed. For auto-iris lenses, the EI should be set to OFF. For manual lenses, EI should be
ON.
Line Lock
Choose INT (internal) or LL (adjustable). The LL setting allows ±180° phase adjustment via the two
LL Phase Advance/Retard buttons. Default is LL.
Pressing both buttons simultaneously will reset LL to the factory default setting.
The LL setting can be adjusted using the LL potentiometer available on some versions of this
product.
This switch sets the light level at which the camera automatically switches between day and night
operation. Hi sets the camera to switch between day and night mode at higher light level. Lo sets the
switching point at a lower light level. The default setting is Lo.
When in Night mode, the IR cut lter is removed allowing infra red illumination to be used.
Colour Burst
(DN versions only)
The Colour Burst (CB) switch allows the colour burst component of the signal to be turned on or off.
When a day/night camera switches to night (mono) mode, the colour burst can be switched OFF
for a true monochrome signal. Note that some multiplexers/recorders detect video-loss if the colour
burst signal disappears. If problems are encountered with the multiplexer/recorder when the camera
switches to mono, try setting CB to ON. Default is CB OFF.
Lens Level
Adjust the lens iris level according to the lighting conditions.
1 Turn the Automatic Gain Control switch OFF
2 Adjust the Lens Level potentiometer so that a 1 V peak-to-peak signal is achieved.
Use care so as not to damage the potentiometer.
3 Turn the Automatic Gain Control switch ON
Domes
Local Video Out
Provision is made for the connection of a local video monitor to assist in setting up the camera. Use
the optional service connector DM/ICED-SERV (not supplied).
