PRECAUTIONS
J
In case of problem
Do not use the unit if smoke or a strange odor comes from the unit,
or if it seems not to function correctly. Turn off the power
immediately, and consult your dealer or an Authorized Sanyo
Service Center.
J
Do not open or modify
Do not open the cabinet, as it may be dangerous and cause
damage to the unit. For repairs, consult your dealer or an
Authorized Sanyo Service Center.
J
Do not put objects inside the unit
Make sure that no metal objects or flammable substance get inside
the unit. If used with a foreign object inside, it could cause a fire, a
short-circuit or damage. Be careful to protect the unit from rain, sea
water, etc. If water or liquid gets inside the unit, disconnect the
power cord immediately, and consult your dealer or an Authorized
Sanyo Service Center.
J
Be careful when handling the unit
To prevent damage, do not drop the unit or subject it to strong
shock or vibration.
J
Install away from electric or magnetic fields
If installed close to a TV, radio transmitter, magnet, electric motor,
transformer, or audio speakers, the magnetic field they generate
may cause image distortion.
J
Protect from humidity and dust
To prevent damage, do not install the unit where there is greasy
smoke or steam, where the humidity may get too high, or where
there is a lot of dust.
J
Protect from high temperatures
Do not install close to stoves, or other heat sources, such as
spotlights, etc., or where it could be subject to direct sunlight, as this
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 rise to high levels.
J
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.

ADJUSTMENTS AND SETTINGS
NOTE on EI setting:
If fluorescent lighting is used where the camera is installed, the object will
flicker as a result. This type of phenomenon can be avoided by replacing
the fluorescent lighting with incandescent lamps.
If the light entering the lens exceeds the maximum required illumination,
the image cannot be displayed properly. In that case, manually adjust the
lens iris.
Q
Gain control
For adjusting the sensitivity of the camera. Use this setting for shooting in
dark environments.
HI Increased sensitivity allows shots to be taken in dark environments.
NORM Normal setting
NOTE:
The HI setting causes noise generation and a grainy image.

Q
What you need
Peripheral equipment (such as monitor, digital video recorder or time-
lapse VCR)
Cables for connecting peripheral equipment and camera (coaxial cables,
connecting plugs)
Power adapter (AC 24 V or DC 12 V)
Q
Supported coaxial cables
You can use any of the following coaxial cables:
RG-59U (3C-2V) Length: 250 m max.
RG-6U (5C-2V) Length: 500 m max.
RG-11U (7C-2V) Length: 600 m max.
When using an RG-59U (3C-2V) cable, do not use it on piping or air
wiring.
Select the cable according to the distance between the devices you wish
to connect.
If you use a cable other than the types above, the image or sync signal
will be attenuated and will not be transmitted correctly.
Q
Making connections
1 Connect the camera and peripheral equipment.
2 Connect the power cable.
<When using an AC 24 V adapter>
Connect 3 wire grounded cable (use 18AWG+) as shown in Figure 1.
To prevent a fire hazard use any UL listed wire rated VW-1 for the AC
24 V cable input terminal.
<When using a DC 12 V adapter>
Check that the polarity is correct and connect the cable as shown in
Figure 2.
3 Insert the power adapter plug into the wall outlet.
The POWER indicator (red) lights.
Q
Camera attachment bracket
The camera attachment bracket can be reconfigured as shown in Figure
above depending on the installation environment. As per design, use the
removed screws.
NOTE:
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.
When using the camera attachment stand (sold separately), select a
location that will be able to withstand the weight of the camera and stand
for many years, and fix them securely in place.
Q
Flange-back adjustment
This normally does not need adjustment. If the picture is out of focus at the
telephoto position, adjust the flange-back position as described below.
1 Loosen the LOCK screw.
2 Set to the maximum telephoto position
and focus the picture using the focus
ring.
3 Set to the maximum wide-angle
position and focus the picture using
the flange-back adjustment dial.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 if the image does
not stay in focus when changing from
a wide-angle shot to a telephoto shot.
LOCK
5 When the setting is complete, tighten
the LOCK screw.
CAMERA ADJUSTMENTS/SETTINGS
The camera comes pre-adjusted and ready to install at time of factory
shipment, but you may want to make adjustments or settings to adapt to the
operating conditions or installation environment.
If you have trouble adjusting the camera, consult your dealer or an
Authorized Sanyo Service Center.
