Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this product. (These instructions are for: TK-C215V4U/TK-C215V12U.) Before beginning to operate this unit, please read the instruction manual carefully in order to make sure that the best possible performance is obtained.

Characteristics

䡵 Realizing a High Picture Quality

This camera realizes 540 TV lines and S/N50 dB by employing a highly sensitive CCD with 380,000 pixels and a high-resolution video processing circuit.

䡵 Enlarged Shooting Range

The adjustment range of the shooting direction is wide and mounting of the camera to the wall is possible with the employment of 3 axis rotation mechanism.

䡵 Non Camera-Like Design

Dome-type design allows application in various locations.

䡵 Embedding in Ceiling Without Use of Metal Fittings

There is no need to use a separate recess bracket when embedding this camera to the ceiling.

䡵 High Magnification Varifocal/Zoom Lens

(TK-C215V4 and TK-C215V12 only)

The built-in x3.6 varifocal lens (TK-C215V4) and x12 zoom lens (TK-C215V12) enables detailed supervision.

䡵 Alarm Zoom Feature(TK-C215V12 only)

2 preset positions are available, which allow setting of the monitoring screen size under normal circumstances and during alarm input.

䡵 Easy DAY & NIGHT Feature

A Easy DAY & NIGHT feature is available, which switches automatically to a black-and-white image when the object is dark. This is useful for supervision in a dark environment.

How to Use This Manual

䡵 Characters and symbols used in this manual

CAUTION : Points to pay attention to during

operation.

NOTE : Details for reference, such as

functions or constraints during use.

A : Pages or items to refer to.

● All product names that appear in this

document are the trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective companies. Marks and symbols such as 姠, 姞 and 姝 do not appear in this document.

Operating Precautions

䢇 To save energy, when it is not being used turn

the system’s power off.

䢇 This camera has been designed for indoor

use. It cannot be used outdoors.

䢇 Do not install or use the camera in the

following places.

● In a place exposed to rain or moisture.

● In a place with vapor or oil soot, for example in

a kitchen.

● In a temperature outside the operating

temperature range (-10 f to 50 f).

● Near a source of radiation, X-rays, strong

radio waves or magnetism.

● In a place where corrosive gasses are

generated.

● In a place subject to vibration.

● In a place with excessive dirt.

● In an environment where there is cold air or

near the air outlet of an air conditioner.

䢇 If this camera and the cables connected to this

camera are used where there are strong electromagnetic waves or where there is magnetism present, for example near a radio or TV transmitter, power transformer or an electric motor, the picture may produce noise and the colors may be affected.

䢇 This camera incorporates an AGC circuit. As a

result, when it is used under low light conditions, the camera sensitivity is automatically boosted and the picture may look uneven. This is not a malfunction however.

䢇 When this camera is used in the ATW mode,

the recorded colors may be slightly different from the actual colors due to the operational principles of the auto-tracking white balance circuit. This is however not a malfunction.

䢇 If a high-intensity object (such as a lamp) is

shot, the image on the screen may have vertical lines (smear) or blur (blooming) at its periphery. This is a characteristic of the CCD, and is not a defect.

䢇 Observe the following when carrying out

camera maintenance.

● Turn the power OFF before proceeding to

carry out maintenance.

● Clean the dome cover lens using a lens wiper

cloth (or a tissue). If it is contaminated seriously, clean the contaminated part with a cloth (or a tissue) which has been soaked in a solution of water and a neutral detergent.

䢇 If the DAY/NIGHT switch is turned on, the

mode changes automatically to black and white in dark places. As the sensitivity increases, the image may look grainy and white spots may appear. When changing modes, bright portions of image may be emphasized but this is not a failure of the camera.

䢇 When the supply voltage of the camera is low,

the input protection circuit within the camera may be triggered and the power of the camera may turn off automatically. Make sure to use a supply voltage for the camera that is within -10 % of the rated voltage.)

䢇 Upon switching between the HOME and

ALARM positions, the camera focus may change slightly after the zoom operation comes to a stop. This is due to the built-in lensperformance and is not a malfunction. (TK-C215V12 only)

䢇 When the camera is moved from a cold area

to room temperature, condensation may occur causing the camera to malfunction as a result. In this case, turn on the power after waiting for a few hours.

䢇 This unit enlarges the rotation angle to

support wide range set up. When the zoom of the lens is set to WIDE end and the tilt angle is set around ±80⬚,the dome cover can be visible into the image depending on the rotation angle. In this case, adjust the image angle if necessary. (A pg. 23)

䢇 All Interconnecting Equipment must be UL

Listed.

䡵Note on consumable parts

(TK-C215V12 only)

The following parts are consumable and should be replaced after a certain number of hours or a count of operations.

The service lives given below are only typical values. They may vary depending on the operating environment and conditions. Note that the replacement of consumable parts is chargeable even when

they are replaced before the termination of the warranty period.
