Cable Restraint and System Power
Notice that if left alone, the connected cables may impede the camera’s movement. To
combat this, the 3-CCD DIGITAL Camera comes equipped with two cable restrainers on
the left back, and on the Mini Docking Station. Follow the instructions below to properly
restrain the cables and power-up the camera.
Restraining The Cable Connections
For upper (ie GEN LOCK) cable connections (if used)
1. Locate the cable restraint on the back left side of the camera.
2. Insert cable(s) through the cable restraint from left to right.
Note: Allow 16” of cable between the restraint and the connection
port to provide enough slack for the camera’s tilting movement.
3. Tighten the restraint by pulling on the strap’s “free” end to prevent
any cable from becoming dislodged. (the cable restraint is reusable
and adjustable).
4. Group the cables with all the other cables connected to the connector
box and follow the instructions below to feed them through the lower
cable restraint.
Feed the upper cables from left to right through the upper
cable restraint, then bundle with the lower cables and feed
left to right through the lower restraint.
For lower cable connections
1. Insert all cables (upper and lower) through the cable restraint from left
to right. This will result in the cables being located approximately in
the center of the camera, instead of near the edge.
2. Tighten the restraint by pulling on the strap’s “free” end to prevent any
cable from becoming dislodged.
Note: To relieve undue stress on the camera and the cable
connections, it is important to fasten all cables using the cable
restrainer on the back of the camera.
Note: Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables for the camera
to pan left and right free of any constraints.
Connecting The Power Supply
Mount the Power Supply with any orientation, or on top of a table or roll-about
unit by using the following steps.
1. Verify that the POWER switch, on the back of the camera, is turned
OFF.
2. Plug the 5.5mm female connector from the power supply cord into the
DC POWER jack in the back of the camera.
3. Connect the other end of the power supply into a 120 VAC source.

When this switch is DOWN, the camera responds to commands
sent from an RF Keypad. When it is UP, the RF receiver in the
camera is disabled and the camera cannot receive commands
directly from a wireless keypad. (factory default: DOWN)
When using multiple cameras networked on the
RS-485 bus, only one camera should have its RF
receiver enabled. Set switch 4 on the other cameras
to UP.
Dip Switch 5 (Preset Save)
Use this switch to determine how the preset settings will be
recalled. DOWN recalls your Manual Gain, Iris, and Focus
settings. UP recalls only the Auto settings for presets and
autoTRACK Views. (factory default: DOWN)
Dip Switch 8 (Interlink)
Use this feature in multi-camera applications. When it is
DOWN, all commands will be passed onto the RS-485
communication bus to the appropriate camera. For a singlecamera application, the setting of this switch does not matter.
(factory default: DOWN).
All switches not discussed on this page should remain in the DOWN or OFF position.

port? If no, change the cable and retry.
5. Verify thatt the POWER LED, on the front of the camera,
is illuminated. Also verify that the 12VDC indicator, on the
rear of the camera block is, is illuminated. If the POWER
LED is not lit, check the POWER switch to make sure that
it is ON, then verify that the Power Supply is connected to
the camera properly. If the 12VDC LED on the rear of the

configuration by following these steps:
1. Connect the cameras together by plugging the
T-connector into the RS-485 port on the back of the camera.
2. Connect each camera using a 4-conductor cable, with 4-position
modular handset plugs wired "straight-through":
Pin 1......Pin 1
Pin 2......Pin 2
Pin 3......Pin 3
Pin 4......Pin 4
Note: Do NOT use a standard phone cable, as these are
wired differently and may cause damage.
3. Using the BASE UNIT ADDRESS rotary switch, which is located
on the back of the Camera, configure each camera with a unique
Base Unit Address. (i.e.: Camera One would be set with address 0,
Camera Two would be set with address 1, and so on)
4. In order to control each camera with your Camera Control Keypad,
the rotary switch inside the keypad battery compartment must
match the lowest Base Unit Address in your system. For example, if
the Base Unit Address switches are set according to the illustration
to the right, the rotary switch inside the keypad should be set
to zero. The Camera Control Keypad can control up to three
cameras.

cient video output cannot be obtained even if 30
dB gain up should be selected.
Night Eye can be selected to any of two (L or H)
levels.
Black Level Setting [Pedestal: –30 - +30]
The black level (pedestal) of the luminance (Y) signal
can be set. Used in adjusting the black levels of two
or more cameras.

LOW/MID/HIGH]
Contrast can be adjusted to any of three levels.
Chroma Level Adjustment
[Chroma Level: –3 - +3]
Chroma Level can be decreased or increased to any
of three levels each.
Skin Color Adjustment [Flesh Tone: –3 - +3]
Skin color can be decreased or increased to any of
three levels each.
White Balance Setting [White Bal: ATW/AWC A/
AWC B/P SET 3 200K/P SET 5 600K]
ATW: The white balance is automatically adjusted to
be always right.
AWC A, AWC B: Once the white balance is adjusted
with the ITEM/AWC switch on the back of the
camera, it is no longer necessary to set the white
balance again if you simply select AWC A or AWC
B, provided that the camera is used under the
same conditions.
Fine color adjustment can be made after setting
AWC by red/blue gain adjustment in user mode or
from the RCU (RCB).
P SET 3 200K: The white balance is adjusted to 3
200K illumination.
P SET 5 600K: The white balance is adjusted to 5
600K illumination.
