HIGH VOLTAGE
Indicates the presence of hazardous voltage. Unsafe practices could
result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION
PROTECTIVE EARTH GROUND (SAFETY GROUND)
Indicates protective earth terminal. You should provide an uninterruptible
safety earth ground from the main power source to the product input
wiring terminals, power cord, or supplied power cord set.
CAUTION
Denotes a hazard. Failure to follow instructions could result in minor
personal injury and/or property damage. Included text gives proper
procedures.
GENERAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

BEFORE POWER IS APPLIED TO THIS INSTRUMENT, GROUND IT
PROPERLY through the protective conductor of the AC power cable to a
power source provided with protective earth contact. Any interruption of
the protective (grounding) conductor, inside or outside the instrument, or
disconnection of the protective earth terminal could result in personal
injury.
BEFORE SERVICING: CONTACT ETS-LINDGREN – servicing (or
modifying) the unit by yourself may void your warranty. If you attempt to
service the unity by yourself, disconnect all electrical power before
starting. There are voltages at many points in the instrument which
could, if contacted cause personal injury. Only trained service personnel
should perform adjustments and/or service procedures upon this
instrument. Capacitors inside this instrument may still be CHARGED
even when the instrument is disconnected from its power source.
TO AVOID A SAFETY HAZARD, replace fuses with the same current
rating and type (normal blow, time delay, etc.). Order any replacement
parts direct from ETS-Lindgren.
ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONEL should operate (or service) this
equipment.
The ETS-Lindgren Model 4310 CCTV is ideal for monitoring or
witnessing tests conducted in anechoic or reverb chambers and large
test cells where high EMI field strengths are present. The camera’s
shielded case allows it to operate in fields exceeding 200 V/m. Pan, tilt
and zoom functions allow monitoring of a wide area of interest, or
zooming in close for details. Images are transmitted over fiber optic lines.
This manual provides an overview of the system, installation guidelines
for multiple configurations and an operational guid e.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
This overview of the system is based on the schematic diagram on the
following page.
All control of the system is from the Video Control Unit (VCU). Six
pushbuttons control the camera lens (zoom, focus and Iris), and a
joystick (or four pushbuttons) controls the pan and tilt of the Shielded
CCTV Camera Assembly. A multiplexer printed circuit board (PCB)
combines all the control functions into a single data stream for
transmission over the fiber optic link to the camera assembly.
An interface PCB inside the camera assembly converts the optical
signals to electrical signals to operate the camera and Pan and Tilt
Head. Conversely, the PCB converts the camera’s electrical video
signals to optical signals which are applied via another fiber optic cable
to the VCU. A video receiver PCB in the VCU reconverts the optical
signals back to a standard 1.0 V pk-pk composite video signal for
application to the Monitor and/or a Video Cassette Recorder (VCR). If
the VCU is fitted with a universal seri al buss (USB) port, the composite
video signal can also be applied to a Computer.
The actual items and fittings supplied for the CCTV system will depend
upon the requirements of the system as defined when ordering. For
example there is a choice of two zoom lenses for the camera; there are
two versions of the camera assembly casing depending on the strength
of the electrical field that the camera will be used in; and the mounting
items supplied for the camera assembly and its pan and tilt head will
depend upon whether they are to be mounted on a non -metallic tripod,
on a wall or suspended from a ceiling. A range of ceiling mounting
columns and wall brackets are available and are specified according to
whether the chamber has anechoic absorber and where the absorber is
used according to the size specified. Three power supply options for the
camera assembly and its pan and tilt head are available to accommodate
any requirement.
The Monitor and VCU each contain their own power supply circuit (the
operating voltage must be specified when ordering) and are supplied
with power cables. A monitor other than the standard 14-inch color
monitor can also be specified when ordering.
CAUTION The Shielded CCTV Camera Assembly must not be opened.
To do so could compromise the shielding properties of the box and will
invalidate the warranty. Neither the camera nor the interface PCB inside
the box are user serviceable items.
The camera assembly is an EMC shielded steel case containing the
camera and an interface PCB. The lens window in the front of the case is
also shielded with a special metallic coating. To ensure that the shielding
properties of the assembly are maintained, an EMC shielding gasket is
fitted between the rear panel and the main casing. Two versions of the
assembly are available for use in field strengths of 100 V/m and 200
V/m.
MODEL 4310 CCTV Brief Description of Major Items
The 12 V dc power inlet connector, the data connector for the pan and tilt
control and the fiber optic connectors for the video and control signals, all
enter the case via the rear panel.
Camera
The camera is not accessible. The standard camera is a color video
camera but monochrome cameras can be provided. Cameras are
available for PAL and NTSC operation and may be specified with either
6:1 or 10:1 zoom lens. All required features must be specified when
ordering.
Interface Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
The PCB is not accessible. The PCB converts the optical control signals
from the VCU to electrical signals and de -multiplexes the control signals
to operate the camera lens functions (zoom, focus and iris) and also the
movement of the Pan and Tilt Head. The PCB also provides video-tooptical conversion of the signal from the camera for application to the
VCU.
Pan and Tilt Head
The pan and tilt head electronic circuit and mechanisms are housed in a
shielded aluminum case. A screened 5-way connector enables the head
unit to be linked to the interface PCB in the shielded camera assembly
which supplies the pan and tilt signals from the joystick (or four
pushbuttons) on the VCU. External limit switches are provided for both
pan and tilt functions.
When the pan and tilt head has been specified for mounting on the
ceiling or wall of a chamber it is fitted with a circular base flange with four
6mm diameter holes. When it has been specified to be mounted on a
non-metallic tripod, it is fitted with a single mounting point for direct
connection to the tripod.
VIDEO CONTROL UNIT ( VCU)
The VCU provides manual control of all the camera functions (zoom,
focus and iris) using push-buttons, and the operation of the pan and tilt
head using a joystick (or four pushbuttons).
