IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND WARNINGS

1. Installation and servicing should be done only by qualified service personnel and conform to all
local codes.

2. Unless the unit is specifically marked as a NEMA Type 3, 3R, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, or 6P enclosure, it is
designed for indoor use only and must not be installed where exposed to rain and moisture.

3. Use only installation methods and materials capable of supporting four times the maximum
specified load.

4. Use stainless steel hardware to fasten the enclosure to outdoor surfaces.

5. To prevent damage from water leakage when installing an enclosure outdoors, apply sealant
around the bolt holes between the enclosure and mounting surface.

CAUTION

Heater elements could be hot! When camera power is on, use caution
when adjusting the camera.

REGULATORY NOTICES

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However there is no guarantee that the
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WELCOME

Thank you for purchasing Pelco’s Camclosure® integrated camera system with LowLight™, DSS
(digital slow shutter) technology. Your new ICS100 Series surface mount dome system includes a
high-resolution, low light, color camera with auto iris and varifocal lens.

The LowLight color camera has extended DSS settings to enhance the low light performance of the
camera by automatically adjusting the number of fields of integration. This slows the picture frame
rate and increases the camera’s sensitivity in low light conditions.

Prior to installation and operation of your new system thoroughly familiarize yourself
with the information in this manual.

CONNECT POWER WIRES

Depending on the input voltage, connect either the 12 VDC or 24 VAC input power wires to the
terminal block inside the base. Refer to Figure 5 for the location of the terminal block.

DC Operation – Refer to the enlarged portion of Figure 5 for the 12 VDC (+) and ground (-)
connections.

AC Operation – It does not matter which terminals the power wires are connected to. However, if
you are wiring more than one Camclosure system to the same transformer, connect one side of the
transformer to the same terminal on all units, and connect the other side of the transformer to the
remaining terminal. Failure to connect all of the units the same way will cause the cameras to be
out of phase with each other and may produce a vertical roll when switching between cameras.

INSTALL THE CAMERA MODULE

CHECK HEATER JUMPER

The Camclosure is equipped with a heater to defrost the dome. Some installations may not require
this heater. If the unit will never be subjected to a frost temperature, you can disable the heater,
saving power requirements. To disable the heater, remove the jumper cover from the J1 jumper
block (refer to Figure 6). It is recommended that the jumper cover be left in the unit by installing it
on one of the jumper pins.

INSTALL AND POSITION THE CAMERA

1. Plug the video connector from the camera into the mating connector inside the back box (refer
to Figure 6).

2. Position the camera so that the tab on the camera bracket is pointing out of the enclosure,
away from the ceiling or wall. Refer to the following illustrations for proper camera orientation.

ZOOM/FOCUS

1. Select a field of view by turning the zoom adjustment ring. Refer to Figure 7.

2. Tighten the zoom locking screw.

3. Adjust the focus by moving the focus locking screw clockwise/counterclockwise.

4. Tighten the focus locking screw.

DIGITAL SLOW SHUTTER (DSS)

Digital slow shutter slows the picture frame rate and increases the camera sensitivity under low
light conditions. Depending on the number of fields of integration, the picture will develop a
granular appearance and motion may show some lag, resulting in a stereoscopic effect or streaking
on fast moving objects. These effects increase as the number of fields of integration increase.

Available settings include the following:

ON OFF

30 fields of integration maximum (default setting) – 1/2-second scene update rate.

16 fields of integration maximum – 1/4-second scene update rate.

4 fields of integration maximum – 1/15-second scene update rate.

OFF – Disables the DSS mode.

Digital slow shutter automatically adjusts the number of fields of integration depending on the light
level of the viewed scene, up to the maximum determined by the switch settings.

C2460M-A (7/03) 11

AGC (AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL)

AGC automatically adjusts the image to compensate for changes in light levels.

ON (Default setting) – Enables the AGC mode.
OFF – Disables the AGC mode.

BLC (BACK LIGHT COMPENSATION)

The BLC (backlight compensation) feature compensates for backlit scenes by enhancing objects in
the center of the scene.

OFF (Default setting) – Disables the BLC mode.
ON – Enables the BLC mode. Use this setting if a bright backlight is present and the subject in the

center of the picture appears dark or as a silhouette.

VERTICAL PHASE ADJUSTMENT (24 VAC OPERATION ONLY)

When using more than one camera power supply, a brief vertical roll may occur on the monitor
when a camera view is switched. To eliminate vertical roll reverse the 24 VAC connections on one
camera. If both cameras are connected to the same transformer, this should solve the problem. If
reversing the connections does not solve the problem, adjust the phase control by synchronizing, or
line-locking, the cameras to one another.

How to Adjust the Phase Control

It may be necessary to have two people in communication when synchronizing the cameras: one
person at the camera and another person at the monitor to observe the vertical roll and the effect
of any adjustments made at the camera.

To synchronize the cameras:

1. Choose a reference camera to which all other cameras will be phased.

2. Select a camera and synchronize it to the reference camera by turning the phase adjustment
control (refer to Figure 7) clockwise and/or counterclockwise.

3. Each time an adjustment is made, switch back and forth between the camera you are adjusting
and the reference camera. Repeat this process as many times as necessary, until the roll
between the cameras is no longer noticeable.

4. Adjust the phase of all other cameras by repeating steps 2 through 3. Always adjust to the
reference camera selected in step 1.

NOTE: The preferred method for camera phase adjustment is to use a dual trace oscilloscope to align
the vertical synchronization pulses of the reference camera to the selected camera(s).

VARIFOCAL LENS AUTO IRIS LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the auto iris level, turn the level adjustment counterclockwise to decrease the brightness level
and clockwise to increase the brightness level. Refer to Figure 7 for the location of the level adjustment.

REINSTALL THE LOWER DOME AND TRIM RING

1. Domes with Liners (only) – Position the viewing window over the lens of the camera.

a. Loosen the three Phillip screws located in the dome.

b. Insert the blade of a standard screwdriver in one of the adjustment grooves. Move dome

into position.

c. Tighten the three Phillip screws to lock liner in place.

2. Align the screw holes in the trim ring with those in the Camclosure base.

3. Tighten the tamper-resistant screws with the supplied 1/8-inch hollow screwdriver bit.
