Operating Precautions

● To save energy, when it is not being used

turn the system’s power off.

● This camera has been designed for indoor

use. When you use it outdoor, be sure to use a housing and the like.

● 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.

• When the ambient temperature rises above or falls below the acceptable range (from –10°C to 50°C).

• Near a source of radiation, X-rays, strong radio waves or magnetism.

• In a place subject to vibration.

• In a place with excessive dirt.

● 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 colours may be affected.

● 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. However, this is not a malfunction.

● While AGC activated, if use kind of transceiver which cause strong electromagnetic wave at close distance, picture might have influence f or beat and etc. So please kindly use camera more than three meters apart from such transceivers.

● When this camera is used in the ATW mode, the recorded colours may be slightly different from the actual colours due to the operational principles of the auto-tracking white balance circuit. Ho we ver, this is not a malfunction.

● If a high-intensity object (such as a lamp) is shot, the image on the screen may hav e vertical lines (smear) or blur (blooming)

at its periphery. This is a characteristic of the CCD, and is not a defect.

● Observe the following when carrying out camera maintenance.

• Turn the power OFF before proceeding

to carry out maintenance. 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.

● TK-C1460U and TK-C1460E The unit is to be powered by a DC 12 V or an AC 24 V power supply. The AC 24 V power supply should conform to the following:

TK-C1460U Class 2 only TK-C1460E Isolated power supply only

● Caution for operating the video iris lens In case the video iris lens is set to an extremely low le vel, malfunction – such as the hunting phenomenon in which the iris opens or closes unintentionally – can occur. In such a case, first set the “LEVEL” potentiometer on the lens to the H position (iris open), and then adjust it to an optimum level. ( Page 20)

● The cable stopper on the terminal block can come off sometimes. Therefore, be sure to take enough time and fix the cable securely.

● When a highly bright subject is shot, sometimes undulations can be observed on the vertical lines of the subject. However, this phenomenon is peculiar to the unit and is not a sign of malfunction.

● The beat may sometimes appear on the screen if gain is raised when the line lock is in use, but the phenomenon takes place due to the fluctuation of power frequency and is not a malfunction.

● You may hear some noise when the screen is switched between the color and the black and white, because the optical filter moves. Also, black ver tical bands will appear on the screen.

MEMO

• If thin cables are used (i.e. with a high resistance), a significant voltage drop will occur when the unit is at its maximum power consumption. Either use a thick cable to restrict the voltage drop at the camera side to below 10%, or place the power supply near to the camera. If voltage drop occurs during operation, the performance will be unstable.

• Attach the cable conductors so that they do not come into contact with the drop prevention wires.

• Do not allow input from both a DC 12 V and AC 24 V power supply at the same time.

• When using a DC 12 V power supply, ensure that the polarities of the cable are correct.

• The AC 24 V power supply should conform to the following: TK-C1460U Class 2 only TK-C1460E Isolated power supply only

 Control signal cables

These cables should be connected only when it is required to control the camera using the RS-442A or RS-485 signals. The use of 0.65 4-conductor twisted pair cables is recommended. With these cables, the maximum extension distance is 1,200 m.

 Genlock connection

With some systems, when the external sync signal is a composite video or black burst signal genlocking by applying an external sync input requires the horizontal phase (H PHASE) and colour phase (SC COARSE) to be adjusted.

SHUTTER (ExDR)

* When the SHUTTER (ExDR) item is set to NORMAL, the following items

(SHUTTER SPEED, FAST LIMIT, ExDR LEVEL, and M.ExDR SPEED) cannot be changed.

SHUTTER SPEED

This sets the electronic shutter as well as the ExDR (Extended Dynamic Range). The use of an electronic shutter function enables shooting with proper brightness, as more brightness results in higher shutter speed. The ExDR function allows even the shooting of a subject having different luminous flux density by composing a picture shot at 1/100 (1/120) sec. shutter speed with a picture shot by a high-speed shutter. ( ): TK-C1460U NORMAL: This fixes the shutter speed to 1/50 (1/60).

The ExDR does not function.

MANUAL: This sets the shutter speed by the item

SHUTTER SPEED on the SHUTTER screen. The ExDR does not function. When SENSE UP is functioning, MANUAL cannot be selected. (Not displayed on MENU)

AUTO: This automatically switches the shutter speed

according to brightness. The ExDR does not function. The item FAST LIMIT on the SHUTTER (ExDR) screen sets a maximum shutter speed value.

M.ExDR: This is used when shooting a subject with

difference in a luminous flux density in the screen under a fixed illumination condition, and so on. During ExDR mode, the item M.ExDR.SPEED on the SHUTTER (ExDR) screen sets the composing high shutter speed. It is possible to set only when the items BLC and SENSE UP are OFF. What’s more, the ExDR LEVEL sets the signal level of the composing high-speed shutter.

A.ExDR: This is used when the subjects having different

luminous flux densities are continuously used night and day in the situation where both indoor and outdoor subjects are mixed in existence , and so forth. During ExDR mode, the composing shutter speed automatically varies according to the contrast of a subject. This is set when shooting the subject with changing brightness. This can be set only when the item BLC is OFF. What’s more, the ExDR LEVEL sets the signal level of the composing high-speed shutter.

MEMO

• Do not set to A.ExDR when using a manual lens.

• When M.ExDR mode or A.ExDr mode is used, the border

between a bright part and a dark part can be coloured (cyan, orange, etc.), but this is not a malfunction.

• When the SHUTTER (ExDR) item is set to M.ExDR or A.ExDR, a flicker can occur under a fluorescent lamp, mercury lamp, etc. However, this occurs by principle of the ExDR function, and therefore this is not a malfunction.

This sets a shutter speed when MANUAL is set. The AUTO, M. ExDR, A. ExDR set value is displayed as “---” and cannot be changed [Set values: 1/120 (1/100), 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, and 1/10000] ( ):TK-C1460U

MEMO

• In the case of a subject with a large difference in the luminous

flux density, sometimes images do not change even if ExDR LEVEL is varied. However, this occurrence is a peculiarity of the unit and is not a malfunction.

This sets the composing high shutter speed when ExDR is set to M.ExDR. Set the shutter speed in order that a subject with a high luminous flux density (outdoor, etc.) may come out most clearly.

This sets a maximum gain of the AGC (Automatic Gain Control). OFF: When the AGC function is not used. 10dB: When luminous energy is insufficient. 20dB: When luminous energy is extremely insufficient. SUPER: When brightness is insufficient even when it is set to

• If the gain is increased, the screen gets rough in a dark place.

In case of the X32 AUTO , the sensitivity is automatically heightened

up to 32 times continuously as compared with standard.

As the sensitivity becomes higher, the shutter speed becomes
