TROUBLESHOOTING

Before sending the camera out for repair, check the items below.
If the problem persists after checking these items, consult your

dealer or an Authorized Sanyo Service Center.

■ If no image appears

• Is the coaxial cable attached securely?

• Are the power and voltage normal?

• Has the iris of the lens been adjusted correctly (with the LEVEL
dial)?

• Is there adequate illumination?

■ If the image is unclear

• Is the monitor adjusted correctly?

• Is the flange-back position correctly set?

• Is the lens in focus?

• Is the lens clean?
Dirt or fingerprints on the lens can adversely affect the image.
Gently wipe any dirt or fingerprints off the lens with a soft cloth or
lens cleaning paper and cleaning fluid (commercially available).

SERVICE

The camera is a precision instrument. Handle it carefully and always
follow the safety precautions. If the camera requires service, never
try to repair it yourself or open the casing.

For servicing, maintenance, or repairs, consult your dealer or an
Authorized Sanyo Service Center.

■ 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 dry by wiping with a soft
cloth.

• Do not use benzine, thinner or other chemical products on the
cabinet, as this 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
into contact with the cabinet for a long period of time, as this may
cause damage or paint peeling.

• When using an RG-59U (3C-2V) cable, do not use it
on piping or air wiring.

• If you use a cable other than the type above, the
image or sync signal will be attenuated and will not be
transmitted correctly.

b When a hunting reaction occurs

Under near infrared lighting or other similar conditions, hunting reaction may occur because the
Day/Night function is not carried out normally. In such case, refer to the following diagram for cable
connection to fix the image either to color or black-and-white by using an external switch, etc.

b Camera attachment

When attaching the camera, make sure to verify that the attachment surface will allow full
tightening of the screws. Plaster board, etc., may not give a strong enough attachment, and
it is recommended to use a reinforcement, or other method so that the screws are anchored
securely.

When monitoring lighting or other extremely bright objects (which
exceed the maximum required illumination), smearing may occur in
the vertical or horizontal direction (either above and below the
high-brightness object or as a perpendicular band). In such a case,
adjust the angle of illumination and other factors while observing
the monitor.

b Camera adjustments/settings

The camera comes pre-adjusted and ready to install at the time of
factory shipment, but you can make adjustments or settings if you
need.

If you have trouble adjusting the camera, consult your dealer or an
Authorized Sanyo Service Center.

• The color image will be displayed first when the power is turned on.

• When switching between color and black-and-white images
automatically, it is normal for movement of the optical filter to be
heard and for a vertical black band to move across the screen.

• Switching from black-and-white to color may occur if there is a
significant degree of reflection from the object when using infrared
illumination in black-and-white image. Adjust the illumination to
avoid switching to color image.

• The focus setting position may differ between color and
black-and-white images. Carry out adjustment to ensure that the
focus for both images is in the optimum position.
