Installation

WARNING

•

If you attach the camera in the height such as the wall or the ceiling, etc., entrust the installation to an experienced contractor or installer.

• If you install the camera on the ceiling, ensure that the ceiling is

strong enough to withstand the weight (20 Kg) of the camera plus the bracket and then install the camera securely. If the ceiling is not strong enough, the camera may fall and cause serious injury.

• To prevent the camera from falling, make sure to attach the

supplied wire rope.

• If you attach the camera to the ceiling, check periodically, at least

once a year, to ensure that the connection has not loosened. If conditions warrant, make this periodic check more frequently.

Suitable lenses

The lens must be a CS-mount type lens weighing less than 1 kg. The protrusion behind the mounting surface must be 4 mm or less.

Adjusting the Incident Light Level

Since the incidental light level has been preset at the factory, usually no further adjustment is required. If the picture is too dark, however, or if the picture’s highlights are extremely overexposed, adjust the LEVEL adjustment screw with a screwdriver. Turn toward L (low) to make the picture darker.Turn toward H (high) to make the picture brighter.

CCD Characteristics

The following conditions may be observed when using a CCD camera, but are not due to any fault with the camera.

Vertical smear: This phenomenon occurs when viewing a very bright object. Patterned noise: This is a fixed pattern which may appear over the entire monitor

screen when the camera is operated at high temperature. Jagged picture: When viewing stripes, straight lines, or similar patterns, the image on the screen may appear jagged.

• CCD-IRIS function

• Automatic white balance tracking and adjustment (PRO/ATW)

• Compatible with DC controlled auto iris lenses

• BLC (Backlight Compensation) through the center measurement

• LEVEL adjustment for various lighting conditions

• Power supply: Automatically switched between DC 12 V and AC 24 V (SSCE433P)

• AC line lock and INT

• The built-in tripod screws are located on both the top and bottom of the camera

• Day/Night mode: When it grows dark, automatically switches to black & white mode to heighten the sensitivity of the camera.

* Super HAD CCD II is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

Notes on Use

Power supply

• The SSC-E433P operates on either DC 12 V or AC 24 V (50 Hz) power. The SSC-E433P automatically detects the power.

— When connecting the transformer, be sure to connect each lead to the

appropriate terminal. Wrong connection may cause malfunction and/or damage to the video camera.

— Ground the unit or an irregular voltage may be generated in the AC power

cord and may cause malfunction and/or damage to the video camera.

• The SSC-E438P must always be operated with an AC 220 - 240 V (50 Hz) power supply.

Handling of the unit

Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the unit, or to get combustible or metallic material inside the body. If used with foreign matter inside, the camera is liable to fail, or to cause fire or electric shock.

Operating and storage locations

Avoid aiming the camera at very bright objects such as the sun or electric lights for an expanded period. Avoid operating or storing the unit in the following locations.

• Extremely hot or cold places (operating temperature –10°C to +50°C; 14°F to 122°F, however, we recommend that the unit be used within a temperature

range of 0°C to +35°C; 32°F to 95°F.)

• Damp or dusty places

• Where it is exposed to rain

• Where it is subject to strong vibration and shock

• Close to generators of powerful electromagnetic radiation such as radio or TV transmitters

• Where it is subject to fluorescent light reflections

• Where it is subject to unstable (flickering, etc.) lighting conditions

Care of the unit

• Remove dust or dirt from the surface of the lens or CCD with a blower.

• Use a dry soft cloth to clean the body. If it is very dirty, use a cloth dampened with a small quantity of neutral detergent, then wipe dry.

• Avoid the use of volatile solvents such as thinners, alcohol, benzene, and insecticides. They may damage the surface finish and/or impair the operation of the camera.

Other

• When BLC is in the “ON” position, “hunting” may occur, that is, the image may get darker and lighter as the camera “hunts” for the best exposure level. If hunting occurs, set the BLC switch to “OFF.”

• If you use the CCD-IRIS function in locations where the camera is exposed to fluorescent light, a slow color change may occur.

• Optimal camera performance may not be obtained when exposed to infrared light due to the lens coating.

• If the camera is used under lighting that is near the infrared region, optimal color reproduction may not be obtained.

In the event of any problems with the operation of the camera, contact your Sony service representative.

Note on laser beams

Laser beams may damage the CCDs. If you shoot a scene that includes a laser beam, be careful not to let a laser beam become directed into the lens of the camera.

Installation of an Auto Iris Lens Connector

Install the lens connector (not supplied) when using an Auto Iris Lens. This installation should be done only by qualified service personnel or system installers. A lens connector is not included with this camera package. 1 Cut the iris control cable at the edge of the lens connector to remove the

existing lens connector and then remove the outer cable cover as shown in the diagram on the left.

2 Solder the lens cable to the pins of the lens connector.

Fitting the lens

1 Unscrew the lens mount cap. 2 Screw in the lens, and turn it until it is secured. 3 Insert the lens plug in the LENS connector.

When fitting a manual-iris lens, omit step 3.

4 According to the type of lens, adjust the focal length by turning the focal length

adjustment screw.

Caution

•

Keep the lens mount cap on the camera when it is not attached the lens.

• Check the lens mount

Check the lens mount at least once a year to ensure it has not become loose. If conditions warrant, make this periodic check more frequently.

Installing the camera

ATTENTION

If installing the camera on the ceiling, be sure it is secure. If not securely installed, the camera may fall and injury may occur. If the camera is installed on the ceiling using equipment such as a bracket, housing and motored swivel base (pan/tilt), do the following:

• Use tripod screws and securely tighten them with a driver. Order the tripod screws (Sony Part No. 3-174-693-02) from your nearest Sony dealer.

• Install the tripod screw on a flat surface.

Attaching the fall-prevention wire rope

When you install the camera on a ceiling or a high position, be sure to attach the

supplied fall-prevention wire rope to prevent the camera from falling.

Attach the fall-prevention wire rope to the screw hole on the rear of the camera, as

in the illustration.

Note

Take care not to short-circuit the power terminal or the cable with the wire rope when you attach it.

1 Secure the wire rope to the junction box on the ceiling.

Use a screw to match the screw hole of your junction box (not supplied).

2 Secure the wire rope to the wire rope mounting screw hole on the rear of the

camera using the supplied screw.

Caution

Use the supplied screws for installation. If not, the wire rope may not function properly.

Connecting the Camera

1 Connect the video cable to the VIDEO OUT connector. 2 Connect the video cable to the VIDEO IN connector of a video monitor, etc. 3 Select the synchronization system using the sync (INT/LL) switch.

Note

Use this switch to set the camera synchronization mode to internal or line lock. The line lock is available only for AC 24 V. When the camera power is DC 12 V, be sure to select the internal mode.

4 Connect to the appropriate power source using a power cord.

SSC-E438P: to AC 220 - 240 V power source SSC-E433P: to a DC 12 V, or an AC 24 V power source

Notes

• Be sure to input only the proper voltage to the power terminal of the camera.

• Be sure to push the power cord all the way in.

Phase Adjustment

Vertical phase (Line lock mode)

The picture may roll vertically if the vertical phase is not set. Use the V PHASE adjustment screw to adjust the vertical phase.
