3. Heed Warnings. All warnings on the camera and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions. All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Cleaning: Unplug the power unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for
cleaning.

6. Attachments: Do not use attachments not recommended by your appliance dealer, as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture: Do not use the camera in any location in which it may be exposed to water or moisture. (For example, dripping,
splashing, or liquid near equipment etc.)

8. Accessories: Do not place the camera on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The camera may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the camera. Use only with mounting accessories
recommended by your appliance dealer or sold with the camera. Any mounting of the camera should follow your
appliance dealer's instructions.

The camera must be installed in a location or on a piece of equipment that can withstand three times the total
weight of the camera, including the lens, camera, mount, adapter, etc.

9. Any appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to overturn.

10. Ventilation: The camera should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. The camera should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or your appliance dealer's instructions have been adhered to.

11. Power Sources: The camera should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating plate. If you are not sure of the
type of power supply for your installation site, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

12. Power Cord Protection: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the camera.

13. Lightning: For added protection for the camera during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to the camera due to lightning and power line surges.

14. Overloading: Do not overload the wall outlet and extension cord, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

15. Object and Liquid Entry: Never push objects of any kind into the camera through openings, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the camera.

16. Servicing: Do not attempt to service the camera yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

17. Damage Requiring Service: Unplug the power unit from the wall outlet. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions.

a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

b. If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the camera.

c. If the camera has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the camera does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the

operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the camera to its normal operation.

e. If the camera has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

f. When the camera exhibits a distinct change in performance. This indicates a need for service.

EQUIPMENT HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

To avoid damaging your camera, observe the following precautions:

1. The camera has threaded mounting locations on the top and bottom of the case. Use only a standard photographic mounting bolt with a
1/4-20 UNC thread.

2. Do not touch the surface of the optical filter. If the filter is dusty or is accidentally touched, use clean, compressed air or lens cleaning paper
to clean it.

3. Do not expose the camera imager to direct sunlight as this may impair camera performance. Always keep the lens mount cap in place until
you install the lens.

4. Do not use this camera outdoors without an appropriate enclosure. Do not install near flammable gas or corrosive chemical fumes.

5. Use clean, soft cloths to clean the camera case. If necessary, use a cloth moistened with a neutral detergent diluted with water; then dry
with a dry cloth. Never use alcohol, benzene, or other volatile solutions.

Description

The C10DN Series camera is Pelco’s smallest day/night camera. Its day/night technology provides outstanding performance over a wide range of
lighting conditions. The camera also uses a removable infrared (IR) cut filter to switch between color and black-white (B-W) modes as
environmental lighting conditions change.

On-screen programmable menus can be accessed using the side panel controls. Use these menus to customize camera settings for the specific
application.

The C10DN Series camera has a standard CS mount and can be used with fixed, manual, or DC drive auto iris lenses. The auto iris is controlled
through a standard 4-pin square connector that is included with all Pelco auto iris lenses.

The C10DN Series camera is quick and easy to install and is ideal for Pelco’s DomePak

Installation

LENS MOUNTING

The C10DN Series camera supports both manual and auto iris lenses, either fixed focal length or varifocal. It also supports both DC and video
drive lenses. It automatically senses an auto iris lens as soon as you plug in the connector. The camera has a standard CS mount that can accept
a C-mount lens with a PCMA40 lens adapter.

After mounting a DC drive auto iris lens, but before using the camera, perform the dc drive auto iris automatic adjustment procedure (refer to
DC Iris Level on page 20). Also perform this procedure each time you change the lens.

WIRING AN AUTO IRIS LENS

Auto iris lenses are controlled through the 4-pin drive connector (type D4-152N). Figure 2 identifies the pin connections for the auto iris lens
connector on the side of the camera.

MOUNTING THE LENS

To mount the lens onto the camera refer to Figure 3, and then complete the following steps:

1. Make sure the lens will not touch the camera imager when installed.

CAMERA MOUNTING

The C10DN Series camera can be mounted from either the top or bottom, depending on the type of camera mount used in your installation. Use a
standard 1/4-20 screw. The maximum thread depth (top) is 0.188 inches (4.7 mm). To extend the thread depth (top) to 0.25 inches (6.4 mm), use
the camera mount spacer (supplied). The maximum thread depth (bottom) is 0.25 inches (6.4 mm).

The C10DN Series camera can be fitted with most Pelco lenses and mounted into most Pelco domes and enclosures, resulting in the greatest
possible number of combinations. This means you can find a solution for nearly any application.

When selecting a lens, dome, or enclosure for this camera, consider how the physical dimensions of each component may affect camera
installation and operation.

NOTE: To simplify lens and enclosure selection, Pelco offers ImagePak options for the C10DN Series camera. Select the lens and the dome or
enclosure. Pelco will build and test it for you. Contact Pelco or your dealer for more information.

CONNECTING VIDEO

Connect a coaxial video cable to the BNC connector on the back of the camera. Refer to Table A for the type of video coaxial cable to use.

If white spots appear in the video image, one or more pixels on the camera imager may be defective. This condition is common to CCD camera
imagers. To correct this condition, refer to Save as Custom on page 24.
