2. Attach the video-type auto iris lens to the lens mount on the front of the
camera.
3. Plug the connector from the lens into the auto iris jack on the back of the
camera. The connector is polarized and can only be inserted into the jack
one way.
4. The E/I switch should be in the “OFF” position.
5. The A/I switch should be in the “VID” position.
6. Apply power to the camera.
7. Adjust the focus ring on the lens for an optimum picture. If a picture is not
visible, set the lens for proper exposure by adjusting the ALC (Automatic
Level Control) and the level on the lens. The ALC setting can range
between AVG (average) or PK (peak). A midrange setting is appropriate
for most applications.
8
For ALC adjustments:
AVG To slow the reaction of the lens to changing light, set the range to
the AVG setting to average the video level from the camera. Use
when there are bright spots in the picture such as lights or glare
from the sun.
PK To increase the speed of the lens reaction to the changing light,
set the lens adjustment to PK so the lens will adjust to the
brightest or peak object in the video. Use this setting if you want
to see the brightest object and not the background objects.
For Level adjustments:
Adjust the level control for the best picture during the day. A night
adjustment may not provide the proper setting for controlling the light
during the day.
8. Set the back focus of the camera before the final adjustment of the video
level.
9. If the auto iris has a gain adjustment and the picture oscillates between
open and closed under bright lights, slowly turn the gain adjustment
counter clockwise until the oscillating stops. Increase the light getting to
the camera by adjusting the level control and re-adjusting the gain control.

5. The A/I switch should be in the “DC” position.
6. Apply power to the camera.
7. Adjust the auto iris lens for an optimum picture using the LEVEL control
on the back of the camera.
11
BACK FOCUS ADJUSTMENT
For best results, perform back focus adjustments at night or while using a #6
or #8 welders glass in front of the lens. The focus of the camera will change
slightly if the camera iris was adjusted on a light scene, then changes to a
dark scene. However, the camera will remain in focus if the iris was focused
on a dark scene and the scene lightens.
1. The lens should be mounted on the camera before applying power.
2. If a picture is visible, focus on the picture. If the picture is not visible,
open the iris on the lens. Open the lens as wide as possible by placing
the welder’s glass in front of the lens and forcing the lens to automatically
open.
3. When the iris is open to the widest point, re-adjust the focus for clear
picture. If a clear picture is not possible, set the focus ring to midrange.
4. Loosen the back focus lock screw.
5. Adjust the back focus ring for a clear picture.
6. Tighten the back focus lock screw.
7. Fine tune the focus with the focus ring on the lens.
8. Remove the welder’s glass from in front of the lens.
9. Adjust the iris of the lens for the best picture quality.
12
ZOOM LENS BACK FOCUS ADJUSTMENT
The objective of back focusing a zoom lens is similar to that of a fixed focal
length camera except the back focus is also adjusted to maintain the focus
when “zooming” the lens in and out on a scene.
1. Choose an object at the farthest range set for viewing with a zoom lens.
2. Make sure the iris of the lens is wide open. Do this by adjusting the
camera at night or use a welders glass in front of the lens.
3. Adjust the focus to the stop on the far range.
4. Adjust the zoom on the lens to obtain the widest picture.
5. Loosen the back focus lock screw.
6. Adjust the back focus ring for the clearest picture.
7. Tighten the back focus lock screw.
8. Adjust the zoom on the lens to the far telephoto position.
9. Adjust the back focus ring for the clearest picture.
10. Adjust the zoom on the lens back to the widest picture.
11. Loosen the back focus screw.
12. Re-adjust the back focus for the clearest picture.
13. Tighten the back focus lock screw.
14. Repeat the previous steps as necessary to maintain a clear picture
throughout the entire zoom range.
