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.
䢇 Turn the power OFF before proceeding to
carry out maintenance.
䢇 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.
(TK-C215V4/TK-C215V12 only)
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 lens
performance 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.
For TK-C215V4 and TK-C215V12, 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.
Operating Precautions
䡵 Note on consumable parts
(TK-C215V12 only)

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.

DC 12 V or AC 24 V power supply cable
Connect the DC 12 V or the AC 24 V power
supply to the DC 12 V/AC 24 V terminals on the
terminal board. To prevent connection errors or a
cable disconnection, we recommend the use of
lug plates for the connections. The following table
shows the connection distances and connection
cables provided that 2-conductor VVF cables
(vinyl-insulated vinyl sheath cables) are used.
CAUTION:
● 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.
When the voltage is low, the protection circuit
within the camera may be triggered and the
power of the camera may turn off automatically.
● 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:
U-type: Class 2 only
E-type: Isolated power supply only
Electrical Specifications of Alarm Input
Terminals
(TK-C215V12 only)
● To prevent penetration of noise in the internal
circuitry, apply a non-voltage contact signal to
the ALARM input terminal. Never apply a
voltage.
● Apply an alarm signal for at least 200 ms. If it is
shorter, it is not guaranteed that the signal will
be recognized as an alarm signal.
● Under the alarm status (status when the metal
contact is “make”), select the contact or
connecting wire such that the maximum wire
resistance between the ALARM IN and ALARM
GND is within 150 K.

As a general characteristic unique to CCDs,
white-spots may appear on the screen with age.
In order to reduce this phenomenon, this unit is
equipped with a white-spot correction feature.
Switch on the camera power supply and wait for
at least 30 minutes.
(Not available on TK-C210FW)
TK-C215V4

1. Remove the dome cover.
2.
Cover the lens surface using a black sheet
of paper, etc. so that light does not enter the
lens.
3.
Set the function selection switch 8 to
[SPOT]. (
A
pg. 11, 13)
4.
Press and hold the SPOT CORRECTION
button for more than 2 seconds.
● White-spot correction will start. Correction
may take several seconds for completion.
NOTE:
● Maximum correction: less than 16 to 32
spots
● The white-spot correction feature of this
unit does not guarantee the correction of
all white spots.
Depending on the characteristic of white
spots, correction may not be possible.
● When performing white-spot correction,
accurate data may not be achieved in case
of highly detailed pixels since correction is
made using the information of surrounding
pixels.
● The result of white-spot correction is
maintained until the next correction is
performed.
