Selecting the Lens
Manual Lens
Set the EE/ME DIP switch on the rear of the camera (see
Figure 3) to EE. Set the AES/AI switch to AES. EE and AES
are the typical settings.
Vari-focal Auto Iris Lens
Vari-focal Auto Iris lenses (Direct Drive [DC] or Video Drive
[VSD]) are connected to the camera via a 4-pin square
socket located at the side of the camera. Set the AES/AI
DIP switch to AI. EE and AI are the typical settings.
To set a different exposure, see Exposure Mode on page 5.
Direct Drive (DC) Lens
1.Set the VSD/DC switch on the rear of the camera to
DC. Set the AES/AI DIP switch to AI.
Rev 34G-113077-001
02/07
2.Slowly turn the LEVEL potentiometer until the picture
on the monitor is as clear as possible and is not too
bright.
Video Drive (VSD) Lens
Set the VSD/DC switch on the rear of the camera (see
Figure 3) to VSD.
Exposure Mode
Automatic Exposure Mode
The Electronic Exposure feature compensates for
excessive light levels by automatically adjusting the shutter
speed of the camera. Set the EE/ME switch to EE
(recommended setting).
Manual Exposure Mode
Set the EE/ME switch to ME. This setting is typically used
only in machine vision applications. The table below gives
the shutter speeds for the switch settings.

Caution Before you adjust the shutter speed, it is

can affect the scene detail.
Rev 35G-113077-001
02/07
Backlight Compensation (BLC)
If there is excessive light (for example, a window exists in a
scene), the camera tries to compensate by reducing the
overall exposure, resulting in the areas surrounding the
window becoming too dark. Turn the BLC switch ON to
eliminate the silhouette effect.
Flickerless Mode (FL)
Set the FL switch to ON to remove the flicker in a picture.
For PAL models, the shutter speed is 1/100 second; for
NTSC models, the shutter speed is 1/120 second.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
This feature can improve picture quality when the level of
scene illumination is low. When set to OFF, the gain is 11
dB. When set to ON, the gain is 30 dB.
Auto White Balance (AWB)
Auto white balance ensures that color integrity is
maintained. To set the white balance, change the WB1,
WB2, or WB3 switches as shown in the following table.

Auto Trace White Balance (ATW)
This mode covers a range of 2800°K to 8000°K. This mode
is typically used for indoor applications.
Rev 36G-113077-001
02/07
Auto White Balance Control (AWC)
This mode covers a wider range of 2000°K to 10000°K and
performs at a faster operating speed than ATW mode. This
mode is typically used for outdoor applications or where
variable lighting conditions exist.
One Push Lock
Press PUSH LOCK on the rear of the camera to calibrate
the white balance for the current scene. This mode is
typically used for scenes with constant lighting conditions.
Synchronization Selection (LL/INT)
This switch selects the synchronization mode of the
camera. When the camera is connected to an AC supply,
the Line lock (LL) mode is used to lock the camera’s frame
rate to the frequency so that each camera in the system is
triggered at the same point on the supply’s AC cycle. The
default setting is LL.
WARNING! The LL/INT switch must be set to INT
when operating from 12 VDC.

Line Lock Phase Adjustment
Potentiometer
When the camera is in Line lock mode, it is possible to
adjust the point on the AC cycle at which the camera
triggers. This feature allows for synchronization of cameras
that are connected to different phases.
The V-PHASE adjustment potentiometer allows the line
lock phase trigger point to be adjusted by 270°. Rotating
the potentiometer clockwise advances the trigger point and
turning it counterclockwise retards the trigger point. The
factory default setting is the zero crossing point. If all
cameras in a system are on the same phase then no line
lock phase adjustment should be made.

Adjusting the Back Focus
The back focus adjustment is accessible at the front end of
the camera housing to adjust the back focal length or
picture focus.
The range of adjustment allows both C- and CS-mount
lenses to be used without the need for a spacer ring.

Completing the Installation
Mounting the Camera
Mounting points are provided on the top of the camera for
mounting the camera on a bracket or tripod. They are
designed to accept standard sized 1/4 x 20 mounting
screws. This bracket can be unscrewed and mounted onto
the opposite side of the camera, depending on your
application. The mounting bracket must be capable of
supporting the weight of the camera and its lens.
NoteSome installation codes dictate that the mounting
bracket must be capable of supporting up to four
times the combined weight of the camera and
lens.

Connecting the Camera
1.Connect the VIDEO connector on the rear of the
camera to the video-in connector on your monitor.
2.Connect the camera to a power supply appropriate for
your installation.
HCC334L/X, HCC484L/LX: 12 VDC or 24 VAC power
supply
HCC335LX, HCC485LX: 230V power supply
3.Plug in the power supply. The power (PWR) LED
illuminates to show that the camera is receiving power.
If it does not illuminate, check the connections and the
power source.
