AC operation only - If you are wiring more than one camera to the same transformer, connect one side of
the transformer to the same terminal on all cameras, and connect the other side of the transformer to the re­maining terminal on all cameras. Failure to connect all of the cameras 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.

Table A. Recommended Wire Gauge and Wiring Distances

The following are the recommended maximum distances for 24 VAC applications and are calculated with a 10­percent voltage drop. (Ten percent is generally the maximum allowable voltage drop for AC-powered devices.)

LENS SETUP AND FOCUS PROCEDURES

Video Drive Auto Iris Lens

Set the lens mode selector switch to AIV. Switch the ESC and AGC OFF. Refer to the lens instructions and
adjust the lens for the optimum picture (video output level of 1V peak-to-peak). To focus, fully open the iris
by covering the lens with a suitable neutral density (ND*) filter. If the viewed scene is 6.5 feet (2 m) away or
farther, set the lens focus to infinity (far). Use the back focus adjustment ring (refer to the Back Focus Ad­justment section) and focus on the selected scene. Remove the ND filter and set the lens focus as required.
Set the AGC switch to ON, as required. Most scenes benefit from AGC.

Direct Drive (DC) Auto Iris Lens

Set the lens mode selector switch to AID (default setting). Switch the ESC and AGC OFF. Use an appro­priate screwdriver to turn the lens level potentiometer (refer to Figure 1) fully clockwise. Next, slowly
adjust the potentiometer counterclockwise until the optimum picture is obtained (video output level of 1V
peak-to-peak). To focus, fully open the iris by covering the lens with a suitable neutral density (ND*) filter.
Select the scene to be viewed. If the viewed scene is 6.5 feet (2 m) away or farther, set the lens focus to
infinity (far). Use the back focus adjustment ring (refer to the Back Focus Adjustment section) and focus
on the selected scene. Remove the ND filter and set the lens focus as required. When finished, switch
the ESC and AGC ON.

Fixed Lens - No Iris

Zoom Lens

Set the lens focus to infinity (far) and fully open the iris by covering the lens with a suitable neutral density
(ND*) filter. Zoom out to the widest field of vision and view a distant object. Adjust the back focus adjust­ment ring until the object is in focus (refer to the Back Focus Adjustment section). Next, zoom fully in and
adjust the lens focus until the object is again focused. Repeat these steps until the full zoom range may
be viewed with the minimum loss of focus.

* NOTE: For best results, outdoors, use an ND3 filter.

BACK FOCUS ADJUSTMENT

The back focus adjustment is located at the front of the camera and is accessible from either side of the case

To adjust the back focus:

1. Loosen the two back focus lock-

ing screws (one on each side).

CAMERA SYNCHRONIZATION (AC 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, adjust the phase control by synchronizing, or line-lock­ing, the cameras to one another. Use the phase potentiometer located on the side of the camera (refer to
Figure 1) to make adjustments.

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 do the following:

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

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 sync pulses of the reference camera to the selected camera(s).

DYNAMIC RANGE AND THE EDR (EXTENDED DYNAMIC
RANGE) FEATURE

Dynamic range is the ratio between the brightest and darkest parts of an image or scene. A scene that
ranges from bright sunlight to deep shadows is said to have a high dynamic range, while indoor scenes
with less contrast will have a low dynamic range.

The EDR feature will help capture the entire range of the scene. A 12 times improvement in dynamic
range can be achieved with this feature. In scenes with very high dynamic range, the EDR feature will
exhibit a higher noise level than when the feature is turned off. This is normal, and not a mal-function.

NOTE: Depending on the scene contrast, it may or may not be possible to capture the entire range
with any camera. Careful camera placement should be considered in extreme cases.
