1. CAUTIONS ON USE AND INSTALLATION
Carefully handle the units.
•
Do not drop, or give a strong shock or vibration to
the camera. This may cause problems. Treat the
camera cables carefully to prevent cable problems, such as cable breakdown and loosened connections.
Do not shoot intense light.
•
If there is an intense light at a location on the
screen such as a spot light, a blooming and smearing may occur. When intense light enters, vertical
stripes may appear on the screen. This is not a
malfunction. Ghosts may occur when there is an
intense light near the object. In this case, change
the shooting angle.
Install the camera in a location free from noise.
•
If the camera or the cables are located near power
utility lines or a TV, etc. undesirable noise may
appear on the screen. In such a case, try to change
the location of the camera or the cable wiring.
Moire
•
When thin stripe patterns are shot, stripe patterns
that are not actually there (moire) may appears
as interference stripes. This is not a malfunction.
Operating ambient temperature and humidity.
•
Do not use the camera in places where temperature and humidity exceed the specifications. Picture quality will lower and internal parts may be
damaged.
Be particularly careful when using in places exposed to direct sunlight. When shooting in hot
places, depending on the conditions of the object
and the camera (for example when the gain is increased), noise in the form of vertical strips or
white dots may occur. This is not a malfunction.
Handling of the protection cap.
•
Keep the protection cap away from children. Children may put them into mouth or swallow them
accidentally. The protection cap protects the image sensing plane when the lens is removed from
the camera, do not throw away.
When not using the camera for a longtime.
•
Stop supplying power.
When cleaning the camera.
•
Unplug the power source before cleaning. Clean
with a soft dry cloth only. Do not use benzine, alcohol, thinner, household detergents, chemically
treated cloths, etc. If used, coating and printed
letters may be discolored. When cleaning the lens,
use a lens cleaning paper, etc.
Avoid using or storing the camera in the fol-
•
lowing places:
Places filled with highly flammable gas.
Places near gasoline, benzene, or paint thinner.
Places subject to strong vibration.
Places contacting chemicals (such as pesticides),
rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time.
Preliminary confirmation of the location where
•
the camera is installed (with a tripod not used)
Before installing the camera, make sure that the
location can withstand the total weight of the camera.
If the camera is installed in places where the
strength of bearing it is insufficient, secure the
structure by reinforcement etc., to bear the load.
If the reinforcement strength is insufficient, the
camera may drop, causing personal injury and
malfunction.

4. 2 Cautions on Connection
• When connecting the camera cables, unplug the power source of the camera and the other equipment
connected.
•We suggest using a C mount lens made for a 3CCD camera.
When using another lens, the best camera performance of this camera may not be obtained.
(For example, low resolution may occur, focus may be lost through the range of a zoom lens, and
flare, ghost or shading may occur)
Furthermore, in order to avoid damaging the mounting portion of the camera head, use a lens which
has projection dimension from the mounting base of less than 0.157"(4mm).
• For DC power supply connecting to DC IN 12V terminal, use UL listed and/or CSA approved ungrounding
type AC adaptor with the specifications described below.
Power supply voltage: 12V DC±10%
Current rating: More than 830 mA
Ripple voltage: Less than 50 mV(p–p)
