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).
The VCU routes the composite video signal from the camera to the
monitor and/or to a VCR as a standard 1.0 V pk -pk output.
The VCU can be fitted with a universal serial bus (USB) interface to
enable the video signal to be connected to a computer. This option must
be specified when ordering. Where a USB bus is fitted, the USB output
and the standard video are both available concurrently.
The VCU is housed in a metal case that can sit on a desk or be mounted
in a standard 19-inch rack. When fitted into a 19-inch rack the unit
requires a vertical spece of 2U (3.5 inches).
NOTE: The mounting option must be specified when ordering. When the
camera assembly is ceiling mounted the camera is inverted (compared
with tripod or wall mounting) and the VCU joystick circuit in the Video
Control Box must be configured at the factory to compensate for this.
The VCU comprises a power supply, a multiplexer PCB that combines all
of the control functions into a single data stream for fiber optic
transmission to the camera, and a video receiver PCB which takes the
incoming optical signal from the camera and converts it to a standard 1.0
V pk -pk video signal.
All operator controls are fitted on the front panel and all optical and
electrical connections are via connectors mounted on the rear panel.
MONITOR UNIT
The standard color monitor is a 14 inch high -performance unit housed in
a dark grey steel case. It detects the incoming video standard and
automatically switches to the PAL or NTSC format, as appropriate.
A universal power supply accepts any ac voltage between 90 V – 255 V
without manual switching or linking. Full operating details are enclosed
with the unit.
Other monitors can be supplied, for example, color monitors but with a
different screen size or a monochrome monitor. In all instances, full
details will be enclosed with the unit.
If a different monitor is desired, it should be specified at the time of order.
SHIELDED CCTV CAMERA ASSEMBLY
POWER SUPPLIES
The 12 V dc power supply provided will be one of three types as follows,
as specified in the order.
• Filtered Power Supply
• Shielded Power Supply
• Shielded Battery Pack
Both mains power supplies and the battery pack are available for
operation from 110 – 120 V or 220 – 240 VAC mains supplies and the
supply voltage must be specified when ordering.
ELECTRICAL CABLE ASSEMBLIES
All necessary electrical cable assemblies are supplied.
FIBER OPTIC CABLE ASSEMBLIES
All necessary fiber optic cable assemblies are supplied. The fiber optic
connection between the VCU and the chamber is normally provided as
ready terminated 32 meter ‘zip cord’ 50/125 duplex fiber optic cable.
These cables are fitted as standard with ST II connectors, with SMA
being available as an option. Alternative lengths may be supplied to
special order.
Additional cables of specified length are supplied for ceiling or wallmounted installations using the filtered power supply. Terminated cables
of specified length are also supplied if bulkhead connectors are fitted to a
service panel in the enclosure wall when using power supplies within the
chamber.
Do not attempt to disassemble the camera to gain access to the internal
components. To do so would 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. Refer servicing to ETS Lindgren.
Do not attempt manual operation of the pan and tilt head as this will
cause irreparable damage to the internal mechanism.
Never face the camera towards the sun or any bright or reflective light
which may cause a smear on the picture and possible damaged to the
CCD (charge-coupled device).
Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture and do not install the
camera in an area where condensation may form. Moisture will cause
damage to the internal components of the camera and create an
electrical shock hazard.
MONITOR
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet , unplug the unit and
have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord.
Do not locate this monitor where the cord will be stepped on.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days
or more.
Slots and openings in the cabinet at the back and bottom are provided
for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation of the monitor and to
protect if from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or
covered. This monitor should never be placed near or over a heat
source.
Never push objects of any kind into this monitor through the cabinet slots
as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts, that could
result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
monitor.
This unit must be operated with a properly earthed 3-pin mains
connection. Non-observance of this standard practice may result in a
static electricity build-up that may result in electric shock when external
connections are touched.
This section provides instructions for multiple installation configurations
including ceiling, wall, tripod and in car mounting with various power
supply options. Please follow the instructions for the configuration that
was specified for your order. Please review all installation instructions for
your configuration prior to beginning installation.
UNPACKING
Check that all the items supplied conform to the purchase order. Ensure
that none of the items appear to have been damaged in transit. Any
discrepancies or damage must be reported to ETS-Lindgren
immediately.
GOOD SHIELDING PRACTICE
Certain guidelines must be followed to retain the RF shielding integrity of
the enclosure. These requirements are called “good shielding practices”
and consist of the following:
• Screws retaining items mounted within the enclosure must not
penetrate through both shields of a modular panel system.
Screws must not penetrate the screen system of a Series 60
Copper Screen or Coppe r Foil room.
• Framing screws must never be used to fasten items within the
enclosure.
• When a hole is bored for a new penetration, all burrs must be
removed and both the perimeter of the hole and the penetration
must be cleaned with a cleaning agent before installing the new
penetration.
• Nothing must penetrate the enclosure wall, floor, or ceiling
without use of a proper ETS-Lindgren designated penetration.

mounting column and the power and fiber optic cables supplied will have
been specified in the order.
Note that when ceiling mounting has been specified, modifications to the
joystick control on the VCU will have been carried out before shipment
(mounting the camera ‘upside down’ reverses the pan and tilt functions).
NOTE: Each item is packed with the appropriate screws and
accessories. Some spare screws are also provided.
1. Locate position for mounting the camera column (normally the corner
point at the base of four anechoic pyramids). NOTE: Check that this
position is at least 90 mm from any bonding section framing and at
least 420 mm from the absorber on the sidewalls of the room, before
drilling. A preferred location would be a corner or side of the room to
eliminate the blind spot under the camera.
Check that there are no obstructions to the chosen location on the
outside of the chamber before drilling any holes. There must be
adequate space for mounting the filtered power supply. When a
suitable location has been decided, position the camera mounting
column; mark the position of the conduit hole and drill a 35 mm
diameter hole.
2. The top of the camera column has four holes around the conduit
hole. Before marking and drilling these holes, determine the arc
through which the camera will pan and determine the center of this

system, except that the tripod is replaced by the In-Car seat bracket
which is supplied with hardware for the pan and tilt head.
WARNING: Take care to avoid trapping fibers in the vehicle door.
Window access is preferred.
This bracket is designed for mounting on automobile front seat s and is
retained by means of the standard lap and diagonal seat belts. The
camera is equipped with a close up lens (12” – 21”) to facilitate
observation of the vehicle instrumentation. The range of the lens can be
extended by horizontal adjustment of the vehicle seat.
In order to obtain a level mount for the camera, it may also be necessary
to adjust the angle of the seat to ensure that the camera platform is level.
POWER SUPPLY INSTALLATION
The 12V supply is applied directly to the camera assembly and then
linked to the pan and tilt head. The 12V supply can be provided from a
filtered power supply, a shielded power supply or a shielded battery pack
depending on the installation requirements.
FILTERED POWER SUPPLY
This power supply is a mains supply conversion module and a filter
housed in a shielded steel case. It is intended for mounting outside the
chamber in applications where the camera assembly and its pan and tilt
head are mounted either from the ceiling or high on a wall. The 12V dc
output to the camera is via a standard conduit bush assembly which is
supplied complete with nuts and washers to pass through the chamber
wall or ceiling.
The general method of installing the filtered power supply on the external
wall or ceiling of the chamber is shown on the installation illustrations
provided in the wall and ceiling mounting sections of this manual. The
12V power cable, together with the fiber optic cables, are fed via the
conduit bush assembly which enters the power supply’s screen area.
The conduit bush assembly is supplied, complete with nuts and washers,
to pass through the chamber wall or ceiling. The length of the power
cable supplied should be sufficient to mate with the camera assembly.
The conduit hole and retaining holes also determine the position of the
filtered power supply (FPS) outside the chamber. Locate the best
position for the FPS on the roof of the chamber and note that there are
two additional retaining holes on a bracket attached to the end of the
FPS, these are for additional support if extra support is required and are
for ¼-20 (M6) screws. NOTE: The FPS can only be located in one of four
positions relative to the column holes already drilled as the bolts pass
through the column flange, the roof and the FPS.
Wire the trailing cable from the FPS to the mains supply via an
appropriately rated fused switch.
NOTE: Failure to install a switch will result in the camera being
permanently ON.
SHIELDED POWER SUPPLY
This power supply is housed in a fully shielded steel case with an
attached mains cable. The unit can be used within a chamber either freestanding, or wall mounted using mounting holes provided. The shielded
power supply is used inside the chamber, powered from the chamber’s
filtered power supply. Note that when using this supply the fiber optic
cables are fed through the enclosure wall using a waveguide or bulkhead
connectors see the section titled “Installing Cables to Shielded
Enclosure.”
Mount the mains power supply unit on the wall of the chamber as close
as possible to the camera (screws not supplied). Note that the camera to
power supply unit cable is 1 meter long (allow for adequate movement).
The mains cable should be kept as short as possible while allowing
enough cable to reach the location of the mains supply. The power unit is
fitted with shielded (braided) cable and the braid should be cut back and
not connected at the mains supply to avoid earth loops. The braid is
grounded at the power supply unit.
SHIELDED BATTERY PACK
The battery pack comprises a 12V 7Ah sealed lead -acid battery housed
in a shielded case. The case is fitted with a shielded latching connector
to accept the standard camera cable.
The battery will normally provide in excess of 12 hours operation, but this
may be reduced if heavy use of the pan and tilt and lens functions is
required. A charger is provided complete with connecting cable.
NOTE: The camera is powered at all times when the battery is
connected.
Installing Cables to Shielded Enclosure MODEL 4310 CCTV
INSTALLING CABLES TO SHIELDED
ENCLOSURE
When the filtered power supply is used, the fiber optic cables to the
camera assembly, together with the 12V power cable are fed via the
conduit assembly (which enters the power supply’s screened area). A
suitable short -length pair of terminated fiber optic cables are supplied to
connect between the bulkhead connectors in the screened area of the
power supply and the camera assembly.
When the 12V power supply to the camera assembly is to be provided by
a shielded power supply, or shielded battery pack situated inside the
chamber, the fiber optic cables have to be fed through the screened
enclosure wall. This can be achieved using a waveguide or, if there is a
3mm penetration service panel available, using a bulkhead connector.
FEEDING THROUGH SCREEN
ENCLOSURE WALL USING A WAVEGUIDE
There are two waveguide assemblies. One, Part No. F40172, allows
individual fiber optic cables to be fed through the wall, each individual
fiber passing through a single hole in the waveguide.
The other waveguide assembly, Part No. F40172/36, allows duplex
cables (two connectors on one cable), which cannot pass through a
single hole in the F40172 assembly, to be fed through the wall. This
waveguide has a removable center core (such as a fiberplex unit) which
is wide enough to enable the ready-terminated connectors to pass
through. According to the type and performance of the waveguide, it may
be necessary to separate the two fibers by carefully cutting the center
membrane over a length of approximately 125mm to allow each fiber to
be located in a different section of the waveguide. Refer to Figure 6 for
example.
To fit the waveguide, proceed as follows:
1. Cut a hole to clear the waveguide thread (50.8 mm diameter).
2. Clean off the paint for approximately 10mm around the hole on both
sides of the shield.

3. Push the main body of the waveguide through the hole and secure
with the locknut (ensure that there is a washer each side of the
shield).
4. Remove the screw from the center of the waveguide and remove the
tapered plug portion and the retainer by tapping from the reverse
side us ing a suitable non-metallic tool to avoid damage.
NOTE: The tapered portion may need a sharp tap to break the seal.
5. If necessary, when, using duplex fiber, separate the two fibers using
a sharp blade and locate each separate fiber into adjacent slots of
the waveguide.
6. Replace the tapered plug and retainer, ensuring that the screw is retightened.
FEEDING THROUGH SCREEN
ENCLOSURE WALL USING A BULKHEAD
CONNECTOR
If there is a 3mm penetration services panel in the wall, two bulkhead
fiber optic connectors can be fitted to the panel and two sets of fiber optic
cables used, one set for inside the chamber and one set between the
outside of the chamber and the VCU. The length of each set must be
specified when ordering.
The advantage of this method is that it simplifies cable replacement.
ELECTRICAL AND OPTICAL
CONNECTIONS TO VIDEO CONTROL
UNIT (VCU)
The VCU is supplied fitted with either rack brackets (for 19in rack
mounting) or feet for bench mounting. The brackets can be changed or
replaced by means of the M4 pan head screws and washers which are
used to retain them.
The rear panel of the VCU contains all the fiber optic, electrical signals
and power connections.
Electrical and Optical Connections to Video Control Unit (VCU)
MODEL 4310 CCTV
On the right side is the combined mains inlet and fuse holder. The VCU
must only be connected to a supply of the voltage rating stated on the
unit and in accordance with local wiring regulations.
NOTE: The fuse can only be changed with the mains connector
removed. The 240V unit requires a 250mA time lag fuse and the 110120V unit requires a 500mA time lag fuse.
Towards the left-hand side of the rear panel is the OPTO in VIDEO fiber
optic connector. An ‘ST’ connector is fitted as standard but a FSMA type
connector can be fitted if specified in the order.
The VIDEO OUT BNC connector provides the 1V pk-pk video signal for
the monitor or VCR.
Near to the center of the back panel is the OPTO OUT CONTROL fiber
optic connector. Again an ‘ST’ connector is fitted as standard but a
FSMA type connector can be fitted if specified on the order. The fiber
optic cable fitted to this connector mates with the CONTROL IN
connector on the Camera Box.
If a USB is fitted it will be identified as such. A USB cable must be used
to connect to the computer’s USB connector.
NOTE: There are no user adjustable controls inside the unit and no user
maintenance is possible. Removal of the main cover will invalidate the
warranty.
All operations of the CCTV system are from the VCU. All controls are
mounted on the front panel and are clearly labeled. Their functions are
self-explanatory but are summarized below:
JOYSTICK (OR FOUR PUSHBUTTONS)
The joystick (or alternative pushbuttons – see NOTE) is on the right-hand
side of the panel and controls the pan and elevation of the camera.
The camera assembly follows the movement of the joystick in the
direction indicated by the pointers.
When pushbuttons are fitted (see NOTE), a directional triangle is
engraved next to each one. A short press of a button will increment the
camera assembly in the appropriate direction – pressing and holding a
button will continuously increment the camera assembly. Two buttons
can be pressed simultaneously, for example, to move the camera
assembly diagonally.
RED PUSHBUTTONS (ZOOM)
The upper switch controls the ‘zoom out’ and the lower the ‘zoo m in’. A
short press of a button will increment the function – pressing and holding
a button will continuously increment the function.
ORANGE PUSHBUTTONS (FOCUS)
Normal procedure is to ZOOM in to the subject and then use the FOCUS
pushbuttons to obtain a sharp image. A short press of a button will
increment the function – pressing and holding a button will continuously
increment the function.
YELLOW PUSHBUTTONS (IRIS)
Use these pushbuttons to adjust the camera iris to suit the lighting
conditions. A short press of a button will increment the function –
pressing and holding a button will continuously increment the function.
NOTE: Some video control units have pushbuttons in place of the
joystick and all buttons may be black in color.
Adjusting the Pan and Tilt Limit Switches MODEL 4310 CCTV
ADJUSTING THE PAN AN D TILT LIMIT
SWITCHES
CAUTION: Manual operation of the pan and tilt head will cause
irreparable damage to the internal mechanism.
When changing the pan and tilt functions ensure that the camera
assembly is not allowed to hit any obstructions.
The factory preset settings for the switches are suitable for most
installations and should not need to be re -adjusted. Any re-adjustments
must be carried out after the system has been fully installed.
NOTE: The center position of the pan and tilt head relative to the limit
switches is denoted by a black spot on the base flange.
HORIZONTAL AXIS (PAN ANGLE)
The limit stops are small blocks located on a black disc above the
mounting flange of the unit. The default factory setting is 85 degrees
each side of center and the maximum sweep is 100 degrees. To re-set
the angle:
1. Use a 1.5mm hexagon wrench to release the grub screws of each
stop.
2. Reposition the stops to the required angle.
3. Secure the stops by re-tightening the grub screws.
VERTICAL AXIS (TILT ANGLE)
The pan and tilt head has a large knurled cap on each side. The lefthand cap (as viewed from the rear of the camera) enables adjustments
to be made to the tilt angle. The default factory settings are +10 and –70
from horizontal (maximum tilt). To adjust the tilt angle:
1. Unscrew the left hand cap, as viewed from the rear of the camera
assembly, to reveal a number of M3 tapped holes.
2. Remove the M3 screws, repositioned them into the required tapped
holes and secure the screws.
MODEL 4310 CCTV Charging the Shielded Battery Pack
CHARGING THE SHIELDED BATTERY
PACK
If a shielded battery pack is used to power the interface PCB and the
camera inside the camera assembly the pack will need to be charged
after about 12 hours use. Heavy use of the pan and tilt functions will
reduce the battery life.
Proceed as follows:
1. Connect the charger to a suitable mains supply (110 or 240 V ac)
outside the screened room.
2. Connect the special charging connectors (Red and Black) to the
charger and check that the selector knob is set to 12V.
3. Disconnect the battery pack from the camera assembly and remove
the pack from the test chamber.
4. Connect the battery pack to the charger via the charging lead.
5. Switch On the main supply. Check that the red light on the charger is
lit.
6. Continue charging until the Green light is lit to indicate a full charge.
NOTE: Do not re-connect the battery to the camera assembly until it
is required for use, as the camera and the PCB in the camera
assembly are on when the cable is connected.
