Pour la clientèle canadienne

Cet appareil numerique de la Classe B est conforme a la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

This installation should be made by a qualified service person and should conform to all local codes.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

–

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. – Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that

to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

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.

■■■■ Flange-back adjustment

If the pick-up surface is not correctly positioned with relation to the lens focal point, the picture will be out of focus (in particular when using auto-iris power zoom lenses, sold separately). If that is the case, adjust the flange-back position as described below.

DC type lenses

Using a + screwdriver, loosen the flange-back lock screw (M2:+). Set the zoom lens to the maximum telephoto position, set the focus using the focus ring on

the lens. Set the zoom lens to the maximum wide angle position, set the focus using the flange-back

adjustment dial. Repeat steps 2 and 3, until the image stays in focus when changing from a telephoto shot to

a wide angle shot. When the setting is complete, tighten the flange-back lock screw.

(A)

Basic connection for monitoring or recording

The peripheral devices (VCR, monitor, lens, etc.), AC adaptor and cables are sold separately.

Make the video signal connection between the camera

and the monitor or time lapse VCR. Connect the power supply.

• If using a commercially-available 24 V AC adapter, always be sure to connect the ground wire (18AWG or higher) to the ground terminal. (Figure 1)

• If using a 12 V DC power supply, make the connections as shown in Figure 2.

Note:

• In order to avoid any problems with the camera and the power supply, take sufficient care to ensure that the polarities are correct when connecting the power supply.

Insert the plug of this power cord into a wall outlet.

The POWER indicator (A) will light. Adjust the picture on the monitor using the Brightness and Contrast controls etc.

■■■■ Coaxial cable type and maximum length

• Cable type RG-59U (3C-2V), 250 m maximum.

• Cable type RG-6U (5C-2V), 500 m maximum.

• Cable type RG-11U (7C-2V), 600 m maximum.

CAUTION:

• The RG-59U type cable should not be run through electrical conduits or through the air.

• Use CCTV/Video-grade coaxial cable.
