PREFACE
The Panasonic Camera Control Unit GP-KS162CU is
designed to use with the optional Camera Head GPKS162H.
This system overcomes space limitations that have complicated many video applications. Weight of only 16g (0.04
lbs.), this remarkably compact CCTV camera measures
only two-thirds of an inch in diameter and less than two
inches in length. GP-KS162CU Remote Control Unit (CCU)
and optional camera head GP-KS162H can be extended
up to 10-meter (33 feet) away, using an optional 10-meter
(33-feet) cable. So the exceptionally manuerable GP-KS162
series lets you obtain a whole new world of camera angles
and shots that were once quite difficult to achieve. With the
440,000-element, 1/2-inch CCD pick-up device, horizontal
resolution is more than 480 lines, and signal-to-noise ratio
is 50 dB. An Auto Light Selection Switch and lets you obtain
clear, high-quality colour images in light as low as 3 lux at
F1.4.
In addition, a small diameter wide-angle lens developed by
Matsushita makes high resolution standard even with subjects as close as 4/5th of an inch away.
Colour changes are sensed instantly and compensated for
by a microcomputer in the GP-KS162CU. Proper white balance is then obtained via the built-in-Auto Tracing White
Balance (ATW) circuit. Both White Balance and R and B
colour can also be adjusted manually, for optimum colour
reproduction.
The camera head can be used with most existing camera
systems. And VTR, video printer or floppy disk recorder, for
a host of new and traditional applications.

PRECAUTIONS
• Do not attempt to disassemble the camera.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or
cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Do not expose the camera or camera control unit to
rain or moisture, or do not try to operate it in wet areas.
Do take immediate action if ever the camera or camera
control unit do become wet. Turn power off and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel.
Moisture can damage the camera and camera control
unit and also create the danger of electric shock.
• Ambient Temperature range
Do not install the camera in the place which is beyond
−10°C - +50 °C (14 °F - 122 °F).
• Do not drop anything inside the camera.
Dropping metal for example inside the camera could
permanently damage the unit.
• Never crush or pinch the camera cable.
Do not bend the camera cable into a curve whose
radius is too small.
• Never face the camera toward the sun.
Whether the camera is in use or not, never face it
toward the sun.
Do use caution when operating the camera in the vicinity of spot lights or other lights and light reflecting
objects.
• How to take care of this camera.
After turning OFF the Power ON/OFF Switch, clean it
with a dry cloth. If it is difficult to remove the dirt or
dust, clean it up with a cloth applied the neutral
cleanser.
Use the lens cleaning tissue paper (may be available
at your local camera store) for lens cleaning.
• Connect this to a DC12V, 0.5 A - 0.7 A CLASS 2 Power
supply only.
• After using the camera, turn OFF the power ON/OFF
Switch and put the lens cap on the camera head.
• Every necessary procedures with regard to install this
product should be made by qualified service personnel or system installers.
Caution:
