1. Phase Adjustment – This is used in a multi-camera
system when power is supplied from different
sources, causing the camera to be out of phase.
This situation affects auto-switching of the cameras
by causing a vertical flip or roll during the switch
interval. The vertical phase adjustment allows the
camera’s line lock sync to be adjusted from 0 to 360
degrees with reference to zero line crossing of the
AC power source. Ensure that all cameras are
powered from the same electrical source and wired
in a similar fashion. Adjust the phase control on the
back of the camera until there is no vertical flip or roll
on the monitor while using an auto switcher.
2. Power Input Terminal – This terminal accepts a
24V ac power source from a 24V ac +/- 10% 60Hz
+/- 1% or 12V dc +/- 10% using a UL-listed Class 2
power supply only.

5. Apply power to the camera.
6. Adjust the focus ring on the lens for an optimum
picture. If the picture is not visible, set the lens for
proper exposure by adjusting the ALC (automatic
level control) and level on the lens. The ALC setting
can range between AVG (average) or PK (peak).
An AVG setting is appropriate for most applications.

For ALC adjustments:
AVG
To slow the reaction of the lens to
changing light, set the range on the AVG
setting to average the video level from the
camera. Use this when there are bright
spots in the picture, such as lights or glare
from the sun.
PK
To increase the speed of the lens reaction
to the changing light, set the lens
adjustment to PK so the lens will adjust to
the brightest or peak object in the video.
Use this setting if you want to see the
brightest object and not the background
objects.
For Level adjustments:
Adjust the Level control for the best picture during
the day. A night adjustment may not provide the
proper setting for controlling the light during the day.
7. Set the backfocus of the camera before the final
adjustment of the video level. See section 3.6 for
further instructions.
8. If the auto-iris has a gain adjustment:
• If the lens oscillates between open and
closed under bright lights, slowly turn the
gain adjustment counter-clockwise until
the oscillating stops.
• Increase the light getting to the camera by
adjusting the level control and readjusting
the gain control as necessary.

3.5 DC-TYPE
AUTO-IRIS
LENS INSTALLATION
AND ADJUSTMENT,
The cameras support DC-type auto-iris lenses.
Perform the following steps to install and adjust a
DC-type auto-iris lens.
1. Thread the DC-type auto-iris lens onto the lens
mount on the front of the camera.
2. If using an Ultrak lens, skip to step 3.
If using a non-Ultrak lens, use the manufacturer’s
instructions to solder the connector that comes
supplied with the camera to the lens control wires.
The pin-out and wire color-coding for DC-type
auto-iris lenses can vary from one manufacturer to
another.
3. Plug the connector into the dc iris jack on top of the
camera. The connector is keyed and can only be
inserted into the jack one way.
4. Make sure that the E/I switch located on the back of
the camera is set to OFF and the A/I switch is in the
DC position.
5. Apply power to the camera.
6. Adjust the DC-type auto-iris lens for an optimum
picture using the IRIS LEVEL control on the back of
the camera.

3.6 BACKFOCUS
ADJUSTMENT
Although the camera lens was backfocused by the
manufacturer prior to shipping, it may be necessary to
make modifications.
For best results, perform backfocus adjustments at night
or while using a #6 or #8 welder’s glass in front of the
lens. The focus of the camera will change slightly if the
camera iris was adjusted on a light scene and then
changes to a dark scene. However, the camera will
remain in focus if the iris was focused on a dark scene
and the scene lightens.
To make backfocus adjustments, perform the following:
1. After mounting the lens on the camera, apply power.
2. If a picture is visible, focus on the scene. If a picture
is not visible, open the iris on the lens. Open the
lens as wide as possible by placing a welder’s glass
in front of the lens.
3. When the iris is open to the widest point, readjust the
focus for a clear picture. If a clear picture is not
visible, set the focus ring to midrange.
4. Loosen the backfocus lock screw.
5. Adjust the backfocus ring for a clear picture.
6. Tighten the backfocus lock screw.
7. Fine-tune the focus with the focus ring on the lens.
8. Remove the welder’s glass from the front of the lens.
9. Adjust the iris of the lens for the best picture quality.

3.7 ZOOM LENS
BACKFOCUS
ADJUSTMENT
The objective of backfocusing a zoom lens is similar to
that of a fixed focal length camera, except that the
backfocus is also adjusted to maintain the focus when
“zooming” the lens in and out of a scene.
For zoom lens backfocus adjustment, perform the
following:
1. Choose an object at the farthest range that you wish
to look at with a zoom lens.
2. Make sure that the iris of the lens is wide open.
For best results, make the adjustment by using a
#6 or #8 welder’s glass placed in front of the lens.
3. Adjust the focus on the lens to the far range.
4. Adjust the zoom on the lens to obtain the widest
picture.
5. Loosen the backfocus lock screw.
6. Adjust the focus adjust ring for the clearest picture.
7. Adjust the zoom on the lens to the far telephoto
position.
8. Adjust the backfocus ring for the clearest picture.
9. Adjust the zoom on the lens back to the widest
picture.
10. Readjust the backfocus for the clearest picture.
11. Tighten the backfocus lock screw.

IMPORTANT: Verify that the camera
remains in focus after tightening the lock
screw. On occasion, tightening the lock
screw can cause the camera to be slightly
out of focus.
12. Repeat the previous steps as many times as
necessary to maintain a clear picture through the
entire zoom range.
