PRECAUTIONS

Operating

Before using, make sure of power supply and connection of video output.

Power supplied without voltage stabilization or the voltage maintained at 12V±10% DC may cause damage.

While operating, if any abnormal condition or a malfunction is observed, stop using the camera immediately and then call your local dealer.

Handling

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

Do not drop the camera or subject it to shocks and vibrations to avoid possible damage.

When attaching or removing the lens, handle with care in order that moisture and dust does 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.

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.

Be sure the ambient temperature is 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 CCD and other components and cause malfunction.

Avoid installing in places where there are strong magnetic fields and electric signals.

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

Never expose the camera to rain and water.

Cleaning

Turn the power off and wipe off the dirt with dry soft cloths. If it is extremely dirty, use furniture cleaning tissue. Do not use alcohols, petroleum distillates, liquid cleaners or sprays.

Daily check

Make daily check for proper operation for surveillance use. In order to maintain normal operation, the output of camera should be checked by user everyday for a clear and focused picture.

FEATURES

High sensitivity

1/3” 470,000 pixels for PAL CCD with on-chip micro lenses and low noise signal processing circuit provide high sensivity down to 0.8 lux(F1.2).

High quality image

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

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

Back light compensation

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

White balance

Three control modes of auto-tracking preset and manual white blance can be selected according to conditions.

Iris function

Provide a drive output for video iris lens. Also built-in electronic shutter to allow 11 shutter speeds up to 1/100,000 sec. CCD iris function automatically set the brightness of the picture by changing the shutter speed of the camera according to the incident light when using a manual iris lens.

Other versatile functions

Text display function of up to 24 characters.

Separated Y/C video signal output connector.

Special menu functions for gamma, color adj., contrast, sharpness, preset.

Use either C or CS mount lenses.

Mounting a lens

①

Remove the lens mount cap from the camera.

➁

Attach or remove the C-mount adapter depending on

the lens to be used.

If the adapter is attached so tightly that is difficult to

remove, use long-nosed pliers to remove it. Insert

the tips of the pliers into the holes with no threads,

thus turn to remove. Or a screwdriver can also be

used, as shown. Insert M3 screws into the holes so

that the screwdriver has something to grip. (Store

the C-mount adapter for possible future use.)

➂

Attach the lens to the lens mount. Secure it so that it

does not become loose.

➃

If the lens has an auto-iris mechanism, connect the

lens cable to the lens connector.

ADJUSTING AUTO-IRIS LENSES

Make this adjustment after connecting the camera

to a power source and a monitor.

1) Set AGC mode to off.

2) When using a Video type lens : Adjust the level

on the lens to produce minimum smear and

optimum pictures.

3) Set AGC mode to on. It is recommended that

the AGC be used in the “ON” mode after

adjusting the video level.

Page 22

Back-focus adjustment

When a lens is mounted, adjustment of the back-focus may sometimes be required. Adjust the lens focus ring when the correct focus cannot be obtained.

WITH A FIXED-FOCUS LENS

1) Fully open the aperture and set the focus ring to "∞" (infinity). In the case of an auto-iris lens only, shoot a comparatively dark object so that the aperture is fully open.

2) Loosen the two back-focus screw with a hex wrench, and turn the lens mount to focus.

3) After adjusting the back-focus, tighten the backfocus screw.

WITH A ZOOM LENS

1) Fully open the aperture and set the lens to the maximum tele-photo position. Then turn the focus ring to focus. In the case of an auto-iris lens only, shoot a comparatively dark object so that aperture is fully open.

2) Set the lens to its maximun wide-angle position.

3) Loosen the two back-focus screw with a hex wrench, and turn the lens mount to focus.

4) After adjusting the back-focus, tighten the backfocus screw.

5) Repeat step 1) ~ 3) until the difference between focusing position 1) and 2) becomes smallest.
