PRECAUTIONS
In case of problem
Do not use the camera if smoke or a
strange odour comes from the unit, or if it
seems not to function correctly. Disconnect
the power cord immediately, and consult
your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service
Centre).
Do not open or modify
Do not open the cabinet, as it may be
dangerous and cause damage to the unit.
For internal settings and repairs, consult
your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service
Centre).
Do not put objects inside the unit
Make sure that no metal objects or
flammable substance get inside the camera.
If used with a foreign object inside, it could
cause a fire, short-circuits or damages.
If water or a liquid gets inside the camera,
disconnect the power cord immediately,
and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo
Authorized Service Centre). Be careful to
protect the camera from rain, sea water,
etc.
Be careful when handling the unit
To prevent damages, do not drop the
camera or subject it to strong shock or
vibration.
Install away from electric or
magnetic fields
If installed close to a TV, radio transmitter,
magnet, electric motor, transformer, audio
speakers the magnetic field they generate
will distort the image.
Protect from humidity and dust
To prevent damages to the camera, do not
install it where there is greasy smoke or
steam, where the dampness may get too
high, or where there is a lot of dust.
Protect from high temperatures
Do not install close to stoves, or other heat
generating devices, such as spotlights, etc.,
or where it could be subject to direct
sunlight, as that could cause deformation,
discoloration or other damages.
Be careful when installing close to the
ceiling, in a kitchen or boiler room, as the
temperature may raise to high levels.
Install where the temperature range will
stay between –10˚C and 50˚C.
(no condensation)
Cleaning
• Dirt can be removed from the cabinet
by wiping it with a soft cloth. To
remove stains, wipe with a soft cloth
moistened with a soft detergent
solution and wrung dry, then wipe dry
with dry soft cloth.
• Do not use benzine, thinner or other
chemical product on the cabinet, as that
may cause deformation and paint
peeling. Before using a chemical cloth,
make sure to read all accompanying
instructions. Make sure that no plastic
or rubber material comes in contact
with the cabinet for a long period of
time, as that may cause damage or
paint peeling.

• VCL-CS4LY: Wide angle, f= 4 mm
• VCL-CS2LY: Ultra-wide angle, f= 2.8 mm
If using a VIDEO type auto-iris lens
• Set the ALC and LEVEL controls on the lens to adjust the
iris. Normally the ALC volume should be turned all the
way to Av (Average).
• Depending on the type of lens used, the lens may not
perform properly. In such a case, adjust the LEVEL
volume on the lens casing to correct.

High speed electronic shutter setting
Normally, the speed setting switches for the high speed ES
(electronic shutter) are all set to the OFF position. This sets the
electronic shutter speed to 1/50 sec. The switches can be set as
indicated in table A to select one of the 8 speeds available.
Model VCB-3170P
When using the high speed electronic shutter, the EI/BLC
switch must be set to the OFF position.
The switches can be set as indicated in table A, to select one of
the 8 speeds available.
Model VCB-3100P
The switches can be set as indicated in table A, to select one of
the 5 speeds (1, 5, 6, 7, 8) available.
CAUTION:
• When using the high speed electronic shutter, the EI/BLC
switch (model VCB-3170P) or the EI and BLC switches (model
VCB-3100P) must be set to the OFF position.
• Using the high speed electronic shutter indoors with low
lighting, will give darker pictures. In such a case, add some
lights to make sure the lighting is sufficient. If the lighting is very
bright, pay attention to the light angle in order to avoid or
minimize the smear phenomenon effect.

When using an auto-iris lens (for indoor/outdoor use)
Set the EI/BLC or EI switch to the OFF position.
CAUTION:
If conditions are outside the electronic iris operation range or more than the maximum
illumination, it will cause saturation of the CCD. In that case, use a manual iris lens.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before taking the camera for repairs, please check below to make sure that the camera is
used correctly. If it still does not perform correctly, please consult your dealer or a Sanyo
Authorized Service Centre.
No picture on the monitor screen
• Is the power turned on to all connected devices? Is the voltage correct?
• Are all the signal connecting cables correctly connected?
• Is the lighting sufficient?
• Has the lens cap been removed?
• Is the lens type (DC or VIDEO) correctly selected?
Depending on the type of lens, the A. I. LENS switch must be set accordingly.
• Is the iris control correctly set?
A: When using a DC type lens, the LEVEL volume (inside the camera casing) should be
adjusted.
B: When using a VIDEO type lens, the LEVEL volume (on the lens) should be adjusted.
The picture is not clear
• Is the monitor correctly adjusted?
• Is the flange-back position correctly set?
• Is the lens focus correctly adjusted?
• Are the lens surfaces clean?
If there is dust or finger prints on the lens, the image quality will deteriorate. To clean the
lens use a soft cloth or a commercially available lens cleaning set.
SERVICE
This camera is a precision instruments and if treated with care, will provide years of
satisfactory performance. However, in the event of a problem, the owner is advised not to
attempt to make repairs or open the cabinet. Servicing should always be referred to your
dealer or Sanyo Authorized Service Centre.
