type coaxial cable with BNC female connector at cable extension.

3. Connect the 24VAC or 12VDC regulated power source of the camera (power jack) to the

power-in jack with 2mm plug. For 12VDC power source, please make sure the power plug is

center+ outer- for heater normal operation.

4. If the factory settings are out of focus, or any other adjustment is required, follow the

procedures below.
a. Remove the fixing screw in the front, which hold the sun shield cover. Remove the sun

shield cover.

b. Twist open and carefully remove the housing cover.

(Please pay attention to prevent damage to the “O”-Ring seal.)

c. Loosen the focal lens and focus locking screws.

d. Adjust the lens to bring the subject into focus.

(Caution: Heater elements could be hot! When camera power is on, be cautious with camera

adjustment.)

e. Retighten the screws.

f. Please refer to the Settings section for the details of the other adjustments. Adjust accordingly

if necessary.

camera, fix the screw on the front fixing plate. Make sure the wider side of the fixing plate

holds the edge of the camera well.

5. Attach the camera onto the mounting bracket.

6. Loosen the swivel screw and point the camera to the desired direction.

7. Tighten the swivel screw. To strengthen the fixing power of the swivel screw, tighten the

set-screw with the set-screw wrench (supplied).

Notes:

(A) Make wiring connections only when it is determined that power is in a disconnected

status.

(B) There is a desiccant pack attached to the housing base under the camera which is

designed to absorb any moisture trapped inside the housing during adjustment. To
avoid excessive moisture build up, it is recommended to avoid rainy or excessively
damp conditions during installation of camera. It is also advisable to limit the
frequency of removing the housing cover. The desiccant pack can be replaced if
condensation develops inside the housing.

FL(Flickerless) ON/OFF

When picture flicker fiercely, turn FL on, then the camera will stabilize the speed of electronic
shutter at 1/100(NTSC) or 1/120(PAL) automatically, and reduce the flicker imm ediately. The
default setting is Off.

BLC (Back Light Compensation) ON/OFF

When BLC is turned on, the AGC, ES and IRIS operating points are determined by averaging
over the center area instead of entire field-of-view, so that foreground object at center area can be
clearly distinguished from brightly backgrounds.
BLC should not be used unless it is needed to compensate for strong backlight. The default setting
is Off.

AGC (Automatic Gain Control) Off/On

AGC ON: The sensitivity increases automatically when light is low.
AGC OFF: A-low-noise picture is obtained under a low light condition.
The default setting is ON.

LL (Line-Lock) Off/On

To select the sync mode between Internal Sync.(LL off) and Line-Lock (LL on).
Set the line-lock off, the camera will synchronize to the internal time base. Set the line-lock on,
the camera’s vertical synchronization can be driven by the AC signal in the power lines.
The default setting is Off.

Note: Line-Lock sync mode operation is working only when used with an AC power source; it is
not working with a DC power source.
