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])

• Exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, or close to heating
equipment (e.g., near heaters)

• Close to sources of strong magnetism

• Close to sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation, such as radios
or TV transmitters

• Locations subject to vibration or shock

• Humid or dusty locations

• Locations exposed to rain

• Locations under the influence of fluorescent light or reflection of a
window

• Under an unsteady light (the image will flicker.)

Ventilation

To prevent heat buildup, do not block air circulation around the camera.

Transportation

When transporting the camera, repack it as originally packed at the
factory or in materials of equal quality.

Cleaning

• Use a blower to remove dust from the lens.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of the camera.
Stubborn stains can be removed using a soft cloth dampened with a
small quantity of detergent solution, then wipe dry.

• Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners as
they may damage the surface finishes.

Note on laser beams

Laser beams may damage a CCD. You are cautioned that the surface of a
CCD should not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an environment
where a laser beam device is used.

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.

Video monitor screen

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.

Pale vertical smear

Very bright subject (such as an
electric lamp, fluorescent lamp,
sunlight, or strong reflected light)

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.

Location and Function of Part

The figure shows the camera without the dome casing and slit cover.

Side A

1 Indoor wiring slit (knockout type)

When you wire indoors, cut this part with a nipper or similar and feed
the cable through it.

Note

Take care not to trap the cable between the camera and ceiling or the wall.
If the cable is trapped, it may break and cause a fire or electric shock.

Adjusting the Camera Direction and CoverageH

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.
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.

Installation

Before Installation D

After deciding the direction in which the camera will shoot, make the
required hole (ø 40 to 60 mm (ø 1 5/8
using the supplied template. Then decide the two mounting hole positions
to install the camera unit.

Mounting screws

The supplied stand is provided with two ø 5 mm (7/32 in.) mounting holes.
Install the stand to a ceiling or wall with screws through these holes.
The required mounting screws differ depending on the installation location
and its material.

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

must be 15 mm (5/8 in.) 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.

to 2 3/8 in.)

) for the connecting cables

Attaching the Dome Casing

1 Attach the slit cover. (I)

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. (J)

1 Align the carved mark of the dome casing with the one on the

camera unit, and turn the dome casing in the direction of the arrow.

2 Secure the dome casing with the supplied dome casing screw.

Then, return the screw cover to the screw hole on the dome casing.

Installing the Camera

1 Remove the dome casing. (E)

1 Pull out the screw cover and loosen the screw with a Phillips

screwdriver.

2 Turn the dome casing to the carved mark position on the camera

unit, and remove the dome casing from the camera unit. When the
screw is caught on the screw hole, pull up the screw.

2 Remove the slit cover.

Remove it expanding the slit cover. (F)

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

camera and the ceiling or wall. (G)
1 Fix the wire rope with the supplied shoulder screw to the hole for

the wire rope on the bottom of the camera.

2 Fix the wire rope to the ceiling or wall.

4 Attach the camera unit to the ceiling or wall with the mounting screws.

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 in the height, ensure that the installation
location and it material are strong enough to withstand a weight of
10 kg (22 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.

Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.

Always verify that the unit is operating properly before use. SONY WILL
NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, COMPENSATION OR REIMBURSEMENT ON ACCOUNT
