Varifocal Lens
This is a design of lens that has a range of manual focal length adjustments. It is strictly not a zoom lens
because it has quite a short focal length. They are usually used in situations where a more precise adjustment
of the scene in view is required which may fall between two standard lenses. They are also useful where for a
small extra cost one camera may be specified for all the cameras in a system. This saves a lot of installation
time and the cost of return visits to change lenses if the views are not quite right. For companies involved in
many small to medium sized installations such as retail shops and offices this can save on stockholding. It
makes the standardisation of systems and costing much easier.

Stage 1 – Powering the camera.

Powering 12V DC & 24V AC models; CCT550/552/555/557

When powering the camera with a 12V DC power supply, ensure that the supply is regulated and has a
continuous rating of 200mA or higher per camera. It is recommended to use a
power supply that is rated at 300mA; this prevents the PSU from running at its
maximum rating for long periods of time.
Note: These cameras incorporate a bridge rectifier on the power supply input
therefore there is no correct polarity in which the camera must be connected to
the supply.
WARNING – This PSU MUST NOT be a 13.8V security type used in intruder
alarms as the over voltage may damage the camera and void the warranty.
The earthing arrangement of an intruder type alarm PSU may give rise to
problematic “earth-loop” and poor voltage regulation, which can give poor/noisy
image quality. We offer no technical support or warranty with the camera if it
is powered by a 13.8V intruder alarm PSU, as it is contrary to the installation
and usage instructions of the camera.

If you are using the System Q Easy Connection Kit (CCT806/7) to power and connect your camera (12V models
only) please proceed as per the instructions supplied with The Easy Connection Kit. You will need to cut off the
DC Plug ONLY and use the bare wires to connect to the terminal strip. The 12V positive is the RED wire the 0V
is the BLACK wire.

Powering 240V AC models – CCT551/553/556/ 558

When using the Varifocal 240V AC models you will need to power them using 240V AC.

WARNING – 240V AC MAINS VOLTAGE CAN KILL. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANC ES UNDERTAKE TO CONNECT OR INSTALL
THESE MAINS OPERATED CAMERAS UNLESS YOU ARE SUFFICIENTLY QUA LIFIED OR COMPETENT. YOU SHOULD NEVER
WORK ON MAINS EQUIPMENT WITHOUT FIRST ISOLATING THE SUPPLY F OR YOUR OWN AND OTHERS SAFETY.

The CT551/553/556/558 range of cameras come with a two core power flex coming out of the rear of the
camera, this should be connected as follows:

Blue = Neutral
Brown = Live

NOTE - As the CCT551/553/556/558 are mains rated electrical equipment they should be connected in
accordance with the latest IEE wiring regulations.

When the camera is connected correctly the LED on the rear will illuminate to indicate power is on.

Video Out.

The video output from the camera is provided from the BNC connector located at the rear of the camera. The
video output from the camera should be carried back to the monitor or control equipment via a suitable cable,
usually RG-59 or similar.

Remember that the Video output from the camera is like any other electrical circuit and requires two wires to
complete the circuit. When using a co-ax type cable such as RG59 or similar, the outer braid of the co-ax
provides the
A typical connection would be as follows;
