MAJOR OPERATING CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTION
1. Camera Dome Base
2. Pan/Tilt Table Adjusts the pan and tilt angles of the camera.
3. Focus Lever Fasten the focus position after adjusting.
4. Zoom Lever Fasten the zoom position after adjusting.
5. Video Output Cable/Connector
Supplies the video output signals. The signals can be connected to a hand-held
daylight viewable 2.5” LCD service monitor TLM-0251i for adjusting the camera
image and loop-through this image to another monitor at the same time.
6. Power Cable/Connector
Supplies 24Vac or 12Vdc power (TFD-CSH26AI12 and TFD-CSH38AI12
input 12Vdc only) to camera from an external power source.

7. DC LEVEL ADJ: This VR is used for adjusting the iris level of an auto iris
lens.
8. AES/OFF Switch: (auto electronic shutter) When an auto iris lens is used,
the AES should be off. When a manual iris lens is used:
OFF: the shutter speed is1/60 sec (NTSC)
ON: the shutter speed will be adjusted automatically from 1/60 to 1/100,000
sec. The default setting is OFF.
9. BLC/OFF Switch: (back light compensation)
ON: Compensates the background if it is brighter than the object.
OFF: Does not compensate. The default setting is OFF.
10. AGC/OFF Switch: (automatic gain control)
OFF: The level of gain is fixed at 0dB. ON: the level of gain varies from 0
to 26dB. The default setting is OFF.
11. FL/NOM Switch: (flicker less or normal)
ON: In FL mode, AES should be turned off, because the shutter speed goes
to 1/120 sec (NTSC)
OFF (or NOM): This is the default setting

INSTALLATION Read all the instructions before installation
To mount the camera on the drop ceiling
1. From local hardware store procure 3 or 5 of flat head M4 x 30 mm
mechanical screws which are matched with the nut thread on the ceiling top
plate.
2. Cut an appropriate opening on the drop ceiling, through which the video and
power connectors and cables can pass.
3. Sandwich the drop ceiling between the ceiling top plate and camera mounting
plate provided as shown.
4. Try to make one screw go through metal T-bar.
5. Turn the dome base fully clockwise to fasten the dome camera on the camera
mounting plat.

To mount the camera directly on a wooden wall or ceiling:
1. Cut an appropriate opening on the wall or ceiling, through which the video
and power connectors and cables can pass.
2. From local hardware store procure 3 or 5 of flat head screws to secure the
camera mounting plate.
3. Turn the dome base fully clockwise to fasten the dome camera on the camera
mounting plate.
4. Triview wall mount TWM-CH3801 is strong recommended for installing
the dome on the wall. This way the camera can be easily adjusted to any angle
horizontally and vertically.

IMAGE ADJUSTMENT
Note: To watch the image adjustment, you may
connect the camera video output to a checking
monitor. However, the video output will be
interrupted if this check monitor does not have
a loop through output.
Tatung’s 2.5” LCD Service Monitor TLM0251i is an ideal tool to observe the image
while manually adjusting focus, and p/t/z of the
camera, not only because TLM-0251i has both
BNC input and BNC loop through output, but
also the output is 75 Ohms auto-terminated.
1. Remove the dome from the camera base by
turning the dome counter-clockwise.
2.
Connect a monitor as a checking
monitor to the video output BNC
3. Pan/tilt adjustment:
Adjust the pan and tilt angle of the
camera towards what you need to
watch.
4. Zoom and Focus adjustment:
Unlock the zoom and focus levers.
Move the levers to get a satisfied
image. Lock the levers.
5. Put the dome back to the camera
base by turning the dome fully
clockwise.
6. Disconnect the checking monitor and
restore the video connection of the
camera video output.
