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 came ra 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 d a mage to the camera. Use only with mounting accessories
recommended by your appliance dealer or sold with the camer a. 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 with stand 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 re ceptacles, 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 fro m 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.

18. Replacement Parts: When replacemen t part s ar e re quired, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by a
qualified dealer or that have the same characteristics as the original part.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

19. Safety Check: Upon completion of any servi ce or rep airs to the camera, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine
that the camera is in proper operating condition.

Installation

LENS MOUNTING

The C10CH 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 moun t 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 Figure3, and then complete the following steps:

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