The camera can use a fixed iris, manual iris, or auto iris. The camera is factory set for a CS-mount lens,
but is easily adjusted for a C-mount lens.

1. C-Mount Lens Only - Rotate the back focus adjustment fully counterclockwise before install-

ing the C-mount lens (refer to the section on

lens). Refer to the

Switch Settings

section. Switch setting is determined by the type of lens used.

3. Screw the lens onto the lens mount. Be careful to prevent dust from entering the space between the
lens and the CCD element. If necessary, use clean, compressed air to remove any foreign matter.

4. Thread the lens cable through the cosmetic trim ring.

5. Connect the auto iris lens to the four-pin connector located on the side of the camera. Pin connec­tions for the iris drive connector are as follows:

Camera Mounting

Use a standard 1/4-20 screw (provided) with a maximum thread length of 3/8-inch (10 mm) for top or bot­tom camera mounting. The mount adapter may be fitted to the top or bottom of the camera. The camera
is shipped with the mount adapter located on the top of the camera.

To change the mount adapter position:

1 Remove the four screws from the mount adapter located on the top of the camera.

2 Remove the trim cover from the bottom of the camera by prying it loose. Place the trim cover on the

22

top of the camera where the mount adapter was removed. Press into place.

3 Install the mount adapter to the bottom of the camera. Secure with the four screws removed in step 1.

Power and Video Connections

The MC3651H-2 camera is designed to operate from a 12 VDC or 24 VAC power supply. The power sup­ply connections are shown in Figure 1. The LED on the back panel of the camera indicates that power is
connected. Use only a Class 2 isolated power supply. Power consumption is less than five watts.

To connect the camera power and video:

1. Remove the cosmetic trim ring from the camera (refer to Figure 1). Thread cabling through the rear
cover.

2. Connect the power cable to the two pin power connector on the back of the camera using the terminal
block connector (provided). Refer to Table A for the recommend wire gauge and wiring distances.

3. Connect a video cable to the SIGNAL OUT connector (BNC) on the back of the camera. Refer to
Table B for the type of video coaxial cable to use.

4. Reattach the trim ring to the back of the camera.

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 10-percent voltage drop. (Ten percent is generally the maximum allowable voltage drop for AC-powered
devices.)

EXAMPLE:

A camera that requires 10 vA and is installed 283 feet (86 m) from the transformer would

require a minimum wire gauge of 20 AWG.

LENS SETUP AND FOCUS PROCEDURES

Video Drive Auto Iris Lens

When a video drive auto iris lens is used, the lens mode selector switch must be set 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). Switch the AGC ON. To focus, fully open the iris by covering the lens with a
suitable neutral density (ND*) filter. Set the lens focus to infinity (far). Select the scene to be viewed.
Use the back focus adjustment ring (refer to the
scene. Remove the ND filter and set the lens focus as required.

Direct Drive (DC) Auto Iris Lens

Set the lens mode selector switch to AID. Switch the ESC ON. 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.

Fixed Lens

To focus, set the lens focus to infinity and view an image greater than 6.5 feet (2 m) away. Focus the im­age with the back focus adjustment ring (refer to the
as required.

Manual Iris Lens

To focus, open the iris fully and set the lens focus to infinity. View an image greater than 6.5 feet (2 m)
away. Focus the image with the back focus adjustment ring (refer to the
Adjust the lens focus, set the iris for the best picture quality. The largest aperture gives the best light sen­sitivity, the smallest aperture the greatest depth of field.

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

be viewed with the minimum loss of focus.

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 locking screws (one on each side).

2. Turn the back focus ring until the object is in focus.

3. When the back focus adjustment is satisfactory, tighten the locking screws. Do not over tighten lock­ing screw or force the back focus adjustment ring.

AID - DC controlled Auto Iris lens. Disable the ESC mode when using a DC controlled lens.

6 INT/LL - Internal/Line Lock

Line Lock (LL) - Locks the frame rate to the power supply frequency. Eliminates vertical roll

caused by multiple cameras connected to the same switching device.

Internal (Default setting) - Locks the frame rate to the internal oscillator. Use with DC or unstable AC.

7 NOR/SHP - Sharpness

NOR (Default setting) - Sets the camera to normal sharpness mode.
SHP - Enables the Sharpness mode. Enhances picture detail by increasing the aperture gain of

the camera, sharpening the edges in the picture.

8 LC - Long Line Compensation

OFF (Default setting) - Disables the Long Line Compensation mode.
LC - Enables the Long Line Compensation mode. Boosts the video drive level to 1.25 Vp-p for long

line transmission.

9 DS1 and 10 DS2 - Digital Slow Shutter

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 increases.

For the DSS mode to operate correctly set the OPT switch to OFF and the AGC switch to ON. The
camera has four DSS settings:

CAMERA SYNCHRONIZATION (AC OPERATION ONLY)

When using more than one camera power supply, a brief vertical roll may occur on the monitor each time
a camera view is switched. To eliminate vertical roll, adjust the phase control by synchronizing, or line­locking, the cameras to one another. Use the phase potentiometer located on the side of the camera 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).
