PRECAUTIONS

Operating

• Before using, check power supply and video output connection.

• Power supplied without voltage stabilization or the voltage maintained at 24V±10VAC or
12V±10VDC may cause damage.

• If any abnormal condition or malfunction is observed while operating the camera, stop using it
immediately and call your local dealer.

Handling

• Do not disassemble the camera and never touch parts inside the camera.

• To avoid possible damage, do not drop the camera or subject it to shocks or vibrations.

• When attaching or removing the lens, handle with care so that moisture and dust do not enter
the camera.

• Do not shoot any source of bright light. If the object contains very bright areas, bright vertical
or horizontal lines may appear on the screen. This is called “smear,” a phenomenon which
often occurs with solid-state pickups and is not a malfunction.

Cleaning

• Turn the power off and wipe off the dirt with a dry soft cloth. If the camera is extremely dirty,
use furniture cleaning tissue.

• Do not use alcohols, petroleum distillates, liquid cleaners or sprays.

PRECAUTIONS, CONTINUED

Installation and storage

• Do not point the camera at the sun. This could damage the camera whether it is operating or
not.

• Do not install the camera where the temperature could exceed the allowable range.

• Ambient temperature should be less than 40°C for long-term continuous operation.

• Avoid installing in humid or dusty places.

• Avoid installing in places where there is radiation. This could damage the CCD and other
components and cause malfunction.

• Avoid installing in places where there are strong magnetic fields or electrical signals.

• Avoid installing in places where the camera would be subject to strong vibrations.

• Never expose the camera to rain or water.

Daily Check

• Make daily checks for proper operation for surveillance use. In order to maintain normal
operation, the output of the camera should be checked daily to ensure a clear and focused
picture.

Field Installation

• This installation should be made by a qualified service person and should conform to all local
codes.

FEATURES

High Sensitivity

• 1/3” 410,000 pixels CCD with on-chip micro lenses and low noise signal processing circuit
provide high sensitivity down to 0.4 lux (F1.2, 50IRE, Contrast ON).

High Quality Image

• High resolution, high sensitivity design for a horizontal resolution of 470 TV lines (NTSC)/460
TV lines (PAL).

• High quality image is obtained by digital signal processing with optimization of control program
and image correction algorithm.

Backlight Compensation

• When strong light enters the scene background, such as from a spotlight or window, back light
compensation function automatically adjust the video level to preserve visibility in important
sections of the image.

1. Lens switch

Used to switch between DC and Video lenses.

2. Lens connector

When using an auto-iris lens, connect the
lens cable to this connector.

3. Video output connector

BNC connector that outputs a composite
video signal.

4. Power indicator

Indicator lights when the camera is powered.

5. Setup buttons

Used when setting up and adjusting the
camera with the on-screen menu.

6. Power input terminal

Use only 24VAC or 12VDC UL listed class 2
signal.

Power Connection

The power connection will accept power from either
a 12 volt DC source or a 24 volt AC source.
The 12 volt DC connection is polarity sensitive.
If connected incorrectly, the camera will not work.
The left terminal is for the positive connection and
the center terminal is the negative connection.

When using a 24 volt AC source, the first and second
terminals are used. Polarity selection is not required.

The third, or right, terminal is for a ground connection.
This terminal is seldom used in typical installations.
It may be required when the camera is installed in an
oxygen-rich environment or other explosive
environments. These environments may be found in
medical or industrial applications. Check local codes
if this issue is in question.
