PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera or
camera control unit.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or
covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Ask a qualified service person for servicing.
2. Handle the camera and the camera control unit
with care.
Do not abuse the camera and the camera control
unit. Avoid striking, shaking, etc. The camera could
be damaged by improper handling or storage.
3. Do not exposé the camera or camera control unit
to rain or moisture, or try to operate it in wet
areas.
Turn the power off immediately and ask a qualified
service person for servicing. Moisture can damage
the camera and the camera control unit, and also
create the danger of electric shock.
4. Do not drop anything inside the camera or
camera control unit.
Dropping a metal part for example inside the cam
era and camera control unit could permanently
damage the unit.
5. Do not crush or pinch the camera cable.
Do not bend the camera cable into a curve whose
radius is small.
6. Never face the camera toward the sun.
Do not aim the camera at bright objects. Whether
the camera is in use or not, never aim it at the sun
or other extremely bright objects. Otherwise, bloom
ing or smear may be caused.
8. Clean the faceplate with care.
Do not clean the faceplate with strong or abrasive
detergents. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped appli
cator and ethanol.
9. Put the tens cap on the camera after using the
camera.
After using the camera, turn the power of the cam
era control unit off, and put the lens cap on the
camera head.
10. Connect together only the camera head and the
GP-US522CU camera control unit.
Otherwise it may cause a improper operation.
11. Do not operate the camera and the camera
control unit beyond the specified temperature,
humidity, or power source ratings.
Use the camera and the camera control unit under
conditions where temperature is between 0°C -
+45°C (32“F - 113®F), and humidity is below 90%.
The input power resource is 12 V DC.
12. Ask a qualified service person for instailation.
All necessary procedures, with regards to instaila
tion of this product, should be made by qualified
service person for servicing or system installer.
— Cautions:
1. Connecting or disconnecting camera cable
to/from the camera control unit or camera
head must be done after turning off the
power of the camera control unit.
2. Use GP-CA522/4 (4 m/13 ft) camera cable
only to connect it between the camera head
and camera control unit. Do not extend the
cable.
7. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when
cleaning the camera or the camera control unit
body.
Use a dry cloth to clean the camera or the camera
control unit when dirty.
In case the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild deter
gent and wipe gently.

Set this switch to BAR when making video monitor
adjustments and recording the color bar signal.
8. White Balance Selector (ATW/AWC/MANU)
This selector is used to select the white balance
mode from followings.
ATW ; In this mode, the color temperature is moni
tored continuously and thereby white balance
is set automatically.
