■ Waterproof Process
• When routing cables sideway using Mounting Bracket or installing the camera under
eaves, apply waterproof process to the cable and relevant portions.
• The cables are not waterproofed. Provide water sealing for the tube ends and the portions
between cable cores as well as connecting portions.
• The use of vinyl tape or other tapes instead of the butyl tape may cause water absorption
from a gap and finally condensation and water leakage.
● Waterproof processing of cable connection
Surely use the provided butyl tape. (Do not use a sealing material on those parts.)
1. Connect and tape the power cables.
2. Bind the power cables together with the tape.
3. Tape the BNC-BNC joint of video output cable.
Power cable

• The bar graph will disappear if no operation is performed for around 10 seconds.
• When changing the angular field of view, move the zoom lever and focus lever again for
adjustment.
<Zoom/focus adjustment>
When shooting an object using an AF lens, the first adjusted focus may be out-of-focus
depending on the focal depth of the lens in use. In this case, focus on a darker object with the
aperture open to prevent out-of-focus.
When "ABF" is selected for "BACK-FOCUS" on the SETUP menu (refer to p. 41), the camera can
automatically focus on a subject with the best available conditions even when the illumination
changes.
• Under near-infrared light, the focus may be slightly out-of-focus than under visible light.
When the "BACK-FOCUS SETUP" page is displayed and "AUTO" or "PRESET" is selected
for "C/L ↔ B/W" using the operation buttons on the camera, the camera can focus on subjects both under near-infrared light and under visible light. (However, the camera will not
change the focus according to the illumination change when the focus had been adjusted
once.)
<How to use a variable focal lens>
Before adjusting the variable focal lens, reset the flange-back (back focal) length position to the
default position for the CS-mount (by simultaneously pressing the [LEFT] and [RIGHT] buttons
for 2 seconds or more, or by simultaneously pressing the [LEFT] and [RIGHT] buttons after

■ Optional Heater Unit WV-CW4H
● Introduction
Installing this heater unit enables the camera to operate in a low-temperature environment
below –30 °C {–22 °F}. The heater turns on automatically when the temperature inside the camera drops below +10 °C {50 °F} and turns off when the temperature rises.
A small fan inside the unit will minimize condensation on the surface of the enclosure caused
by changes in ambient temperature unless temperatures change too rapidly. The fan will stop
when there is no possibility of condensation.
Cautions:
• When using 12 V DC power supply, the optional heater unit is unavailable.
• Turning the heater on and off may disturb the camera images.
• When servicing, pay attention to high temperature on the surface of the heater unit.
Disconnect the harness and wait until the heater unit cools.
• When you install and operate the camera in a low-temperature environment below –10 °C
{14 °F}, it may take time (around 30 minutes) for the inside of the camera to warm up. In
such a case, wait around 30 minutes or more.
● Installation
1. Open the enclosure.
2. Place the heater unit in the camera and fix it with the supplied screw (x1).
3. Insert the harness (x1) into the heater unit connector of the camera.
Note: Attach the desiccant pack so that it does not block ventilation holes or hang over the
top of the wall.
4. Attach the enclosure.
Important: After mounting the heater unit, arrange the harness cable so as not to be tangled
around the enclosure and equipment inside the camera.

Flange-back (Back Focal) Adjustment for Optional Lenses
This adjustment can be also performed on the setup menu.
Refer to p. 41. Back-focus Setting for details.
Important: Do not use the ABF function for continuous or repetitive purposes (ex. auto-focus
etc.). This function is to be used to correct defocus caused by switching between color and
black - and - white when/after installing the camera.
Hints
Before Back-focus Adjustment
• Adjustment procedures vary depending on the lens. Refer to the instructions included with the lens.
• Reset the back-focus by pressing the [LEFT] and [RIGHT] buttons simultaneously on
the camera, and adjust the back-focus.
• Move the lens focus to the FAR-end when using a fixed-focal lens (lens focus
adjustable type), and adjust the back-focus.
For Adjusting the Focus
• It is recommended that you lower the lighting for the object to be as dim as possible
when adjusting the focus with an auto iris lens. This will make the iris open and will
result in an accurate focus even though the lighting conditions vary. This may be
slightly different from the best focus point in a specific lighting condition.
• Compared with cases under visible lights, using near-infrared lights may somewhat
deviate the focus. It is recommended that you select AUTO or PRESET for C/L ↔
B/W in the BACK-FOCUS SETUP menu to obtain a proper focus for each of visible
and near-infrared lights.
26
For Using General Vari-focal Lenses
1. Aim at the objects 10 meters away or more to adjust the back-focus.
2. For 8x and 10x class lenses, set the zoom to the WIDE-end and the focus to the
FAR-end, and then adjust the back-focus.
3. For 2x and 3x class lenses, set the zoom to the TELE-end and the focus to the FARend, and then adjust the back-focus.
4. Aim the camera at the targeted objects to place them in the center then coarsely
adjust the zoom angle and the focus of the lens. Finally, perform adjustment of the
back-focus in either ways of using ABF (automatically) or MANUAL-ADJ (manually).
Note: There may be lenses having an extended range in lens focus adjustment, except
Panasonic lenses. When using such a lens, set the lens focus back appropriately
from the applicable end position in the above step 2 and 3 depending on the lens,
and then perform back-focus adjustment. The back-focus will not be properly adjusted if the lens focus is positioned into the extended range.
