or

3. Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture, or
operate it in wet areas.
Take immediate action if the camera becomes wet. T

to

the

power off and refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

Moisture can damage the camera and also create a danger of
electric shock,

4. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning
the camera body,

Use a dry cloth to clean the camera when dirtv. In case the
dirt is hard to remove, use a mild detergent and’wipe gently,

5, Never point the camera toward the sun.

Whether the camera is used outdoors or not, never point i
toward the sun,
Use caution when operating the camera in the vicinity of spo

lights or other bright I ights and I ight reflecting objects.

t

t

6, Do not operate the camera beyond its temperature

humidity or power source ratings.
Do not use the camera in an extreme environment where high
temperature or high humidity exists. Use the camera under
conditions where temperatures are between

14”F-l22”F(-10”C

--+5O”c), and humidity is below 85%. For the correct power

supply, refer to the specification sheet,

Caution:
To prevent fire or shock hazard, UL listed wire VW-l, style

1007, should be used for the cable.

This camera can operate independently, using its internal

using I ine-locking.
To select one or the other of these sync modes, set the DIP
switch on the rear panel to either LL or INT.

If line-locking is selected, al I the cameras in the system
must be adjusted to begin the video field scan at the same
time. This is described in the following procedures

3. BLC (back1 ight compensation) ON/OFF Switch
If the subject you wish to view is too dim because of a

bright background, set the BLC switch to ON to compensate

for the bright background.

With BLC on, the background brightness may saturate in some

cases, This function may not operate properly if the object
is too small compared to the area of the background. This

function can be used with either the I

shutter (EE

mode) or an

autoiris

lens (Al lens mode).

Select

Switch

WITH BLC ON

This switch is-used to select EE (electronic exposure or ELC

electronic light control) mode or Al (autoiris lens or ALC
automatic I ight control) mode.

In the EE mode, a continuously variable electronic shutter is

employed to automatically control the exposure time of the
CCD image sensor according to the incoming light level.
With this mode selected, a fixed or manual iris lens can be
used instead of an

autoiris

lens. In the Al mode, the CCD

shutter speed is fixed to

l/60 (l/50)

set, and the incoming

I ight level is control led by the

autoiris

lens.

To use a video-drive type or the DC-drive type of

autoiris

lens, set this switch to the Al position.

~C~NNEU~RS ANDcoNTRoLs

-@continued

Cautions :

1, Under bright lighting conditions such as outdoors, use an

autoiris

lens because the ELC control range is not wide

enough under these conditions.

2. Under certain unique lighting conditions, the following
phenomena may appear:

. Strong smear and/or blooming on highlight objects such

as

spot1

ights or windows.

s Noticeable flicker in the picture and/or color rendition

variations,

To avoid this, use an

autoiris

lens,

3. When operating in EE mode with a manual iris lens, the
depth of field of the image may be less than that
obtained by using an ALC lens. Depth of field varies

inversely with the iris opening. Thus, using this camera
in EE mode with the manual iris lens fully opened may
result in less depth of field, and the distant objects in the

picture may be seen out of focus.

4. Fixed iris or manual iris lenses may be used with the

linear shutter (EE mode) where the scene brightness

varies over a limited range.

5. Do not the EE mode when an autoir is lens is installed.

V-Phase Adjustment Push Button

This camera is produced keeping the initial
phase in EEPROM.

.

If two or more cameras are connected to a
picture on the monitor rolls while switching
B, adjusting the vertical phase (V-phase) of

data value of V-

switcher and the

from camera A to

the cameras will

probably eliminate the rolling. If this adjustment is necessary,

it should only be performed by qualified technician.
Before making any adjustment, confirm that cameras A and B
are connected to the power supply with the same polarity.
To make an adjustment, follow the steps below.

1. While observing the video output signals from both cameras
on an oscilloscope, press camera A s V-phase control push
button (on back of camera) until vertical sync from both
cameras are in phase,

2. If camera A’s adjustment range is
insufficient, adjust camera B’ s

BACKFOCUS ADJUSTMENT SCREW

This screw is used to position the CCD image sensor at the
precise point of focus of the lens.

Backfocusing Fixed-Focal-Length Lenses

1, Install a lens and connect the camera to a monitor and power

supply as described elsewhere in this manual.

2, Open the iris completely. If an

autoiris

lens is used, reduce

the room lighting to allow the lens to open completely. This

gives the most accurate results.

3. Adjust the screw slowly until the sharpest picture is obtained.
This completes the adjustment. The backfocus adjustment
screw is held in place by friction, so there is no locking
screw.

Position the camera

feet (8-16 meters) from a flat
vertical surface suitable for focusing. A newspaper works
well as a focusing target.
Open the iris completely. If an

autoiris

lens is used, reduce

the room I ighting to allow the lens to open completely, This
gives the most accurate results.

Zoom the lens in to the maximum telephoto setting. Adjust the
optical focus of the lens using the remote lens control.
Adjust the backfocus screw for the sharpest image.
Zoom out to the maximum wide angle setting. If the picture is
no longer in focus, readjust the backfocus screw,
Repeat steps 4-6 until the image remains sharp through the
entire zoom range.

This completes the adjustment. The backfocus adjustment
screw is held in place by friction, so there is no

screw.
