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.

To set the white balance manually, set the WB switch to M, then adjust the colour by turning the B and R volume controls.

BLC (backlight compensation) switch 0: Backlight compensation off 1: Backlight compensation on

For backlight compensation, set the BLC switch to 1, then, if necessary, adjust the LEVEL volume control.

AP (Aperture) switch 0: Normal 1: High

Set this function to further emphasize the profile of the target object.

LEVEL volume control

∞

Used when the BLC switch is set to 1. Under normal conditions, it should be turned all the way to the left. When adjusting the backlight compensation, turn it to the right until the desired correction level is obtained.

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 Center.

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?

The picture is not clear

• Is the monitor correctly adjusted?

• 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:

(sold separately)

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

Basic connections

1 Installing the BNC plug (sold separately)

Cut the extremity of the coaxial cable (sold separately), as illustrated.

Insert the cable through the adaptor, then turn the shielding mesh over.

Loosen the center wire securing screw of the plug, then install the cable in the BNC plug, so that the center wire is threaded through the plug center opening.

Before tightening the center wire securing screw, make sure the center wire comes out through the plug center opening.

Screw the adaptor on to the plug.

2 Concerning the coaxial cable

To connect the camera to peripheral devices, use a coaxial cable with BNC plug.

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

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

If the type of peripheral devices connected, the type of cable used and/or the cable length are not as specified, the image and synchronization signals may not be transmitted correctly.

Cut and prepare the extremity of the coaxial cable (sold separately), as illustrated.

Attach the coaxial cable to the base.

Loosen the CAMERA (VIDEO) OUT terminal screw (A) and the GND terminal screw (B), then insert the center wire of the coaxial cable in the CAMERA (VIDEO) OUT terminal and make sure the shielding mesh part of the cable is located under the GND terminal plate, then tighten both screws (A and B) to attach the cable.

CAUTION:

• If the base is installed on a wall or if for any other reason the cable

cannot be run behind the installation surface, break-off the tab (C) with nippers to allow the cable to go through.

• You can use multiple cameras by connecting them a camera

switcher or a quad unit (sold separately), then conducting the surveillance from one location by splitting the monitor screen to view the image from each camera, or by switching the image from each camera on the monitor screen. For detailed information, please refer to the installed devices instruction manuals.

3 Connecting 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.

• When making the connections be careful to respect the polarity

and not to shortcut the terminals.

Camera installation

Install the base on the ceiling, etc., using the four supplied tapping screws (A).

• This camera is not waterproof. It cannot be installed outside.

• When installing the base, make sure to verify that the

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

Install the camera unit onto the base.

Connect the video signal cable plug (B) and the power supply cable plug (C) from the base to their respective connectors on the camera unit. Then install the camera unit onto the base.

Securely tighten the four camera unit fixing screws (D) evenly.

Camera removal

Loosen the four camera unit fixing screws (A) evenly.

Turn the camera unit of about 80°, in the direction of the arrow shown on the illustration.

Turn the camera unit all the way until screw (B) on the base reaches the tab.

Remove the camera unit.

To remove the camera unit, carefully apply a slight force until the screw (B) goes over the tab, then carefully remove the camera unit.

CAUTION:

• When removing the camera unit, be careful not to hurt yourself

with the camera unit fixing screws.

• When removing the camera unit, be careful as the video signal

plug (B) or power supply plug (C) cables are short and may become unplugged. B
