Notes on Use

Operating or storage location

Do not shoot an extremely bright object (an illumination, the sun, etc.).
Also, avoid operating or storing the camera in the following locations, as
these can be a cause of a malfunction.

• Extremely hot or cold places (Operating temperature: –20 °C to
+50 °C [–4 °F to 122 °F])

• Close to heating equipment (e.g., near heaters)

Attaching the Dome Casing K

1 Attach the slit cover.

Notes

• The proper position of the slit cover is slightly apart from the camera
mount. Do not push in by force.

• If you cannot attach the slit cover because the barrier of the lens
ring fixing screw prevents it, attach the lens ring fixing screw to
another screw hole. There are three screw holes for the lens ring
fixing screw on the concentric circle.

2 Fix the dome casing and the camera unit.

Align the three screw holes on the dome casing with those on the
camera unit, and tighten the screws with the supplied wrench to
secure the dome casing and unit casing.

Typical CCD Phenomena

The following phenomena may appear on the monitor screen while you
are using a CCD color video camera. These phenomena stem from the
high sensitivity of the CCD image sensors, and do not indicate a fault
within the camera.

Vertical smear

A “smear” may appear to extend vertically from very bright subjects, as
shown below.

Before Installation

After deciding the direction in which the camera will shoot, make the
required hole (ø 58 to 72 mm (2 3/8 to 2 7/8 inches) ) for the connecting
cables using the supplied template. Then decide the four mounting hole
positions to install the bracket. (D)

Installing on the wall

When you install the camera on a wall lengthwise, position the side
conduit hole directly below to prevent moisture from getting inside the
casing. (E)

Mounting screws

The supplied bracket is provided with eight ø 4.5 mm ( 3/16 inch) mounting
holes. Install the bracket on a ceiling or wall with screws through these
four of the eight holes.
The required mounting screws differ depending on the installation location
and its material. (Mounting screws are not supplied.)

Steel wall or ceiling: Use M4 bolts and nuts.
Wood wall or ceiling: Use the supplied M4 tapping screws. The panel

thickness must be 15 mm ( 5/8 inch) or more.
Concrete wall: Use appropriate anchors, bolts and plugs for concrete
walls.

Junction box: Use screws to match the holes on the junction box.

WARNING

The required mounting screws differ depending on the installation location
and its material. If you do not secure the camera with the appropriate
mounting screws, the camera may fall off.

Installing the Camera

1 Remove the dome casing.

Loosen the three dome casing screws with the supplied wrench, and
remove the dome casing.

2 Remove the slit cover.

Remove it expanding the slit cover. (F)

3 Check the conduit of the cables.

The cables are set up at the factory to pass through the bottom conduit
hole. If you want to use the side conduit hole, perform the following
steps:

1 Remove the conduit hole cover.
2 Disconnect the cables from the connectors, and pull them out from

the bottom conduit hole.

3 Insert the cables through the side conduit hole, and connect the

cables to their respective connectors.

4 Attach the conduit hole cover that was removed from the side

conduit hole to the bottom conduit hole.

Notes

• If the bottom conduit hole is dirty, the conduit hole cover cannot be
fixed firmly. In this case, moisture may leak into the casing and this
may cause a malfunction. Wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, and fix
the conduit hole cover firmly.

• Cover the joint part of the pipe/cover with silicon sealant, etc. to
prevent moisture from getting inside the casing.

• Use a pipe/plug with a thread length of 12 mm (1/2 in.) or less so that
it does not damage the camera. (G)

4 Connect the D/N cable. (SSC-CD77/CD77P only)

When you make Day/Night function active, feed the supplied D/N
cable through the conduit hole, and connect it to the D/N cable
connector of the camera unit. Then, secure it with the cable clamp.

5 Install the supplied bracket on the ceiling or wall. (H)

Refer to “Mounting screws” for screws to be used.

6 When installing on a ceiling or wall, fix the supplied wire rope to the

camera and the ceiling or wall. (I)
1 There are two screw holes for wire rope on the bottom of the

camera. Fix the wire rope with the supplied shoulder screw as
required.

2 Fix the wire rope to the ceiling or wall.

7 Attach the camera unit to the bracket with the supplied mounting

screws. (I)
Turn the camera unit to click and fix one of the projections on the

bottom of the camera to the positioning hole of the bracket. There are
four projections with an angle of 90 degrees, so you can select one of
four directions.

WARNING

• If you want to install the camera at a height such as on a ceiling,
entrust the installation to an experienced contractor or installer.

• If you install the camera at a height, ensure that the installation
location and its material are strong enough to withstand a weight of
20 kg (44 lb 1 oz) or more, and then install the camera securely. If
they are not strong enough, the camera may fall and cause serious
injury.

• To prevent the camera from falling, be sure to attach the supplied
wire rope.

• If you install the camera at a height, check periodically, at least once
a year, to ensure that the connection has not loosened. If conditions
warrant, perform this periodic check more frequently.

Note

If you cannot use screws on a ceiling or wall, or if you want to make
the camera less conspicuous, use the YT-ICB45 in-ceiling bracket
(optional) with which you can mount the camera on the ceiling.

Adjusting the Camera Direction and Coverage

1 Loosen the camera head fixing screw.
2 Adjust the camera to turn the lens in the desired direction.
3 Tighten the camera head fixing screw to fix the camera.
4 Loosen the lens ring fixing screw.

J

This phenomenon is common to CCD imaging elements using an interline
transfer system, and is caused when electric charge induced by infrared
radiation deep within the photo sensor is transferred to the resistors.

Aliasing

When shooting fine stripes, straight lines or similar patterns, the lines may
become slightly jagged.

Blemishes

A CCD image sensor consists of an array of individual picture elements
(pixels). A malfunctioning sensor element will show up
as a single pixel blemish in the image. This is generally not a problem.

White speckles

When you shoot a poorly illuminated object at a high temperature, small
white dots may appear all over the entire screen image.

典型 CCD 现象

当您使用 CCD 彩色摄像机时，监视器屏幕上可能会出现以下现象。这些现
象主要由于 CCD 图像传感器的高灵敏度造成的，并不是摄像机的故障。

垂直拖影

如下所示，在非常亮的物体上可能会出现垂直延长的“拖影”。

视频监视器屏幕

此现象对于使用隔行传送系统的 CCD 成像元件很常见，当光电传感器中由
红外线辐射产生的电荷传送到电阻时，会产生这种现象。

图形失真

当拍摄精细条纹、直线或类似图案时，这些线条可能会稍稍出现锯齿状。

疵点

CCD 图像传感器由一列单个的图像元素（像素）组成。出现故障的一个传
感器元素将会显示为图像中的单个像素疵点。一般来说这不是什么故障。

白色斑点

当您在高温下拍摄一个亮度很小的物体时，整个屏幕图像上可能会布满小
白点。

白色垂直拖影

非常明亮的物体（如电灯、荧
光灯、日光或强烈反射光）

5 Turn the zoom ring to adjust the angle of view.
6 Turn the focus ring to adjust the focus.
7 Tighten the lens ring fixing screw to fix the zoom and the focus.
8 Repeat steps 1 to 7 until the coverage and the focus are determined.

Notes

• When you adjust the camera head angle without loosening camera
head fixing screw, an internal metallic part may be damaged.

• If the camera head is too heavy to be adjusted, loosen the camera
head fixing screw until it moves freely.

• When the lens is not put in the slit of the camera head holder, the
moving range of the camera head is limited.

• Do not turn the lens more than 360 degrees. As this may damage
the wiring inside.

• There are three screw holes for fixing the lens ring at 120 degree
intervals. If the lens ring fixing screw poses a problem for adjusting
the camera direction and coverage due to the direction of the
camera head, detach the screw and reattach it to another screw
hole, then adjust the camera direction and coverage again.

• When adjusting the angle, be sure that the TOP mark on the camera
head section faces the ceiling. If the camera is installed with the
TOP mark facing the floor, the image appears upside down.
