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 shooted, 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 camera head and protection cap.

Keep the camera head and 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 head, do not throw away.

●When not using the camera for a longtime.

Turn off the camera power switch and stop supplying power.

●When cleaning the camera

Always turn off the power and clean with a piece of dry cloth. If necessary, gently wipe with a cloth dampened with thinned detergent. Do not use benzine, alcohol, thinner, etc. If used, coating and printed letters may be discolored. When cleaning the lens, use a lens cleaning paper, etc.

Precautions on DIGITAL terminal :

Interference occurring inside the cable may accidentally activate the Trigger if the TRIGGER D inputs (pins 66 and 96) are open.

If the TRIGGER D input is not used, the TRIGGER D input pin should be either not connected or connected to RESERVE output pin (pins 67 and 97) ie: (connect pin 66 to pin 67 and pin 96 to 97).

The RESERVE pins (pins 67 and 97) are provided for an additional output. If unused they should be OPEN or connected to Trigger D.

NC pins (pins 117 to 119) should be left OPEN.

6 OPERATION

Referring to the item “ 5. CONNECTION”, connect each equipment correctly.Turn on the connected equipment and the camera.

When using the camera for the first time and when replacing the camera cable and the camera head, be sure to operate the ABB adjustment in advance, referring to the item “6.1 Automatic Black Balance”.

Pointing the lens at the object, operate the lens iris adjustment, focus adjustment, etc.Referring to the item “6.2 White Balance”, operate the adjustment.

Referring to the items “6.3 Scene File, 6.4 Gain, 7. MODE SETTING BY ON SCREEN DISPLAY”, select the necessary items.

6 1 Automatic Black Balance

Black balance adjustment is necessary to get the correct black picture level.

Close the lens iris.

If the color bar pattern is displayed on the screen or if the index menu/menu is displayed, press the [DISP] button to disable the color bar pattern or the character display. If the camera is in Freeze Mode, perform the cancellation procedure (refer to the item “6.6 Freeze Operation”) to return the camera to Live Image Mode.

Hold the [DATA DOWN] button for approx. 1 second.

When the black balance adjustment operation starts, the character ABB blinks on the screen.

When the black balance adjustment operation finishes, the character ABB ends blinking and the result appears for approx. 1 second.

Display	Meaning
ABB OK	Automatic black balance adjustment finished correctly.
ABB NG	Automatic black balance adjustment cannot be performed because the lens iris
CLOSE LENS	is open. Close the lens iris.
ABB NG	Automatic black balance adjustment cannot be performed.
	Operate the automatic black balance again.

6 3 Scene File

Three scene files (A, B, C) are available as user memories for this unit. These are selectable depending on shooting conditions. By using the [FILE] button, the camera operation is changed immediately from the currently selected Scene File to the next. (Refer to the item “7. MODE SETTING BY ON SCREEN DISPLAY”.)

While any menu is displayed, pressing the [FILE] button will display the menu settings for the next Scene File:

FILE A → FILE B → FILE C

When the [FILE] button is pressed while the camera is in live image mode, the current scene file selection at that time is displayed for approx. 3 seconds in the upper right corner of the screen. If the [FILE] button is pressed again while the position is displayed, the scene file cycles as described above.

6 4 Gain

When the image is dark even if the lens iris is open, change the gain (video gain) to get the proper video level.

For the gain adjustment of the unit, AUTO (Automatic gain control), MANUAL (Manual), OFF (0 dB) modes are provided. Select the mode on the GAIN menu. (Refer to the item “7.2 (2) GAIN (Video gain)”.)

AUTO(Automatic gain control)

When the output is low, the gain is automatically adjusted to a suitable video level.

The maximum value of the gain is 20dB, and can be set from 0 to 20dB in 1dB steps. (Refer to the item “7.2 (2) (2.1) Changing the maximum gain in AUTO (Automatic gain control) mode”.)

Video level (LEVEL), peak average value ratio (PEAK/AVE), and measurement light area (AREA) is same as the setting on the automatic shutter. (Refer to the item “7.2 (1) (1.1) Changing each setting in AUTO mode”.)

MANUAL(Manual gain)

Gain adjustment is performed on the GAIN menu. The adjustment range is from 0 to 20dB in 1dB steps. (Refer to the item “7.2 (2) (2.2) Changing the gain in MANUAL mode”.)

OFF

Gain is fixed at 0 dB.

6 5 Shading Correction

Due to the lens used or the environmental condition, vertical color shading may occur at the top and bottom of the screen. In this case, the shading correction can decrease the color shading. For the shading correction of the unit, SET (Automatic shading correction), MANUAL (Manual shading correction), and OFF (no shading correction) modes are provided. Select the mode on the OPTION menu. (Refer to the item “7.2 (7) (7.3) Changing shading correction mode”.)

SET(Auto shading)

When the shutter speed mode is set to EXT TRIG or the SS long period exposure mode, the automatic

shading correction cannot be performed.

If the color bar pattern is displayed on the screen or if the index menu/menu is displayed, press the [DISP] button to remove them from the screen. If the camera is in Freeze Mode, perform the cancellation procedure (refer to the item “6.6 Freeze Operation”) to return the camera to Live Image

Mode.

Push the [MENU UP] button for approx. 1 second.

When the automatic shading correction operation starts, the character SHD blinks on the screen.

When the automatic shading correction operation terminates, the character SHD ends blinking and the result is displayed for approx. 1 second.

Display	Meaning
SHD OK	Automatic shading correction operation terminated correctly.
SHD OK	Automatic shading correction operation terminated, however, the correction
LIMIT	necessary exceeds the camera’s range so the maximum possible value is applied.
SHD NG	Automatic shading correction cannot be performed because the video level is too

SHD NG	Automatic shading correction cannot be performed because the video level is too
LEVEL HIGH	high. Set the video level properly.
SHD NG	Automatic shading correction operation cannot be performed because the shutter

MANUAL(Manual Shading)

Perform the correction amount setting on the OPTION menu, confirming with a monitor or a vector scope. (Refer to the “7.2 (7) (7.4) Changing the manual shading correction setting”.)

OFF

The status is no shading correction.

*The shading correction is effective when the lens iris or zoom ratio is fixed. Use the unit with SHADING OFF for variable lens conditions.
