2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The TOA C-CV44-3 is an outdoor-use high-resolution camera equipped with a 1/4” CCD. Its water-resistant design permits it to be mounted to outdoor walls or ceilings with no need to protect it from rain and the elements. Because the camera angle can be freely moved, a wide range of subjects can be monitored, regardless of installation location. The C-CV44-3 is designed to operate on 24 V AC or 12 V DC, which are supplied by an external power supply unit. Since its 2X vari-focal, auto-iris lens is built inside the camera, its angle of view can be manually adjusted.

3. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

•Do not point the camera toward the sun or other strong lighting or reflected light.

•Avoid jarring or striking the camera, as the camera may fail.

•Install the camera in locations where the temperature range does not exceed –10°C to +50°C, and no dew condensation is formed.

•To clean, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Never use benzene, thinner or chemically-treated towel to avoid damage to the camera’s finish.

•To clean the lens, use a camera blower or lightly wipe with lens cleaning paper.

•Picture quality may suffer if camera cables are wired close to other electrical equipment, such as fluorescent lamps. In such cases, reroute the wiring.

•Monitor screen pictures may become distorted or roll if the camera is used in locations influenced by strong electrical or magnetic fields from television transmission antennas, motors or transformers. In such cases, install the cables inside sheet steel cable conduit.

•Use the external power supply unit of the following rating when the camera is operated on 12 V DC.

12 V DC, over 1.0 A
