1. Safety Instructions and Notes
• Please read these safety and operating instructions before putting the camera into operation.
• Keep the operating instructions in a safe place for later use.
• The Standard Box Camera is designed for indoor use only and it must not be installed where exposed to rain
and moisture.
• Do not operate the cameras beyond their specified temperature, humidity or power ratings.
• Never open the case of the camera because there are precision parts inside. Otherwise a trouble or
an accident may result
• Do not put anything metallic and other foreign substances through the vent. A trouble fire or electric shock
may result.
• Be sure to turn off the power before installing or making connection.
• Pay attention when laying the connection cable and observe that the cable is not subject to heavy loads,
kinks or damage and no moisture can get in.
• Do not install the camera in places exposed to vibrations and shocks.
• Be very careful not to drop or shock the camera while carrying it in.
• Do not orient the camera to the sun.
• Do not make any modification to the unit (neither to the software nor the hardware). Improper modification
voids the warranty and can cause malfunctions or damages.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages resulting from unauthorized or improper modifications to
the unit
• Some of types of lenses may cause hunting, light amount drop or other problems. In such case, readjust the
lenses.
• Because of the digital image device characteristics, images may look rugged at high temperatures. This does
not mean the camera is in trouble.
• The warranty becomes void if repairs are undertaken by unauthorized persons.
• Contact the supplier if any functional problems arise.
Cleaning:
• Do not touch the surface of the imaging device.
• Keep clean the lens surfaces at both sides of front and rear..

5. Installation and commissioning Instructions
• Make sure the power is removed before the installation.
• Follow the order for applying power.
First connect the low voltage (DC12V or AC24V), then plug the AC adapter to AC outlets to avoid an
improper reset from power jitter and a damage from the surge voltage when no load.
5.1. Attaching the lens
• Remove the Dust Protection cap from the lens mount
• Screw the lens onto the camera without using force
5.2. Setting the back focus lock
The back focus is the distance between the lens support on the camera and the image sensor. Optimum focus
is only possible when the correct distance is set. It may be necessary to set the back focus in individual cases
due to production tolerances of the lens. The iris of the lens must be open as wide as possible. (smallest F
value) to set the back focus. For lenses with automatic iris control, you will require a ND filter (gray filter) to
prevent the iris from closing in bright light.
Setting for lenses with a fixed focal distance
If the focus cannot be set exactly by turning the focus ring (lens), please proceed as follows;
1. Point the camera at an object with sufficient contrast. The distance to the object should be longer than
1,000 x the focal distance.
2. Open the iris on the lens
3. Set the focus of lens so that the distance at the lens is close to infinity but not to exact infinity position.

5. Rotate ① Back Focus Adjustment until the optimum focus is achieved.
6. Tighten ④ Back focus Adjustment Lock Screw
7. Trim the focus precisely at lens if necessary.
Setting for lenses with a variable focal distance (zoom)
If the focus changes as the focal distance changes, please proceed as follows.
1. Point the camera at an object with sufficient contrast at a distance of approximately 2 meters.
2. Open the iris on the lens
3. Set the maximum focal distance (Tele) at the lens
4. Set the optimum focus with the focus ring
5. Set the smallest focal distance (wide angle)
6. Loosen ④ Back focus Adjustment Lock Screw one~two turns on the camera with the industrial “+” driver
7. Adjust ① Back Focus Adjustment until the optimum focus is achieved. Steps 3,4,5 and 7 may be needed
to repeat several times to obtain the best results
8. Tighten ④ Back focus Adjustment Lock Screw again
5.3. Installation
The camera has a 1/4” thread insert on its top and bottom side for mounting the camera to a tripod or the wall
or ceiling with a corresponding mount.
5.4 Commissioning
• Connect the power to the camera firstly
• Plug the power adaptor to the mains supply secondly
•
ⓒPower indicator LED will be lit
• The camera is ready for operation
5.5. Power Supply Connections
Camera can work with either 12VDC or 24VAC, dual voltage power. It does NOT require the polarity-matched
connection for 12VDC supply. Primary and secondary grounds are completely isolated to avoid the possible
ground-loop problems. Its excellently wide operating voltage range of 10.5V-30V for DC and 12-28.8V for AC
gives an extra flexibility at the installation.

6. Start up
When the camera is powered properly, it starts up with initializing the internal parameters and the filter switch
mechanism. The filter switch unit repeats IN and OUT two times at each power up and just after RESTORE

PRESET Descriptions
Produces an image that has average contrast and suitable for normal indoor or lowcontrast outdoor scenes.
Provides better leveling of image for in the darker areas of the scene. Suitable for
indoor scenes that have higher contrast lighting.
Optimized for outdoor sunlit applications and provides better leveling for the brighter
areas. Suitable for outdoor scenes having high contrast between sunlit and
shadows.
Reduces the color rolling by fluorescent lights when line-lock is not
available(NTSC). DC auto iris lens is required.
Use Line-lock sync. with AC24V supply for the best result against the color rolling if
possible.

IMPORTANT!!!
DAY->NIGHT and NIGHT->DAY operations must be examined and verified at the final
step of the installation because they may be affected by the settings such as the size or
location of the metering window.
Block the lens for a few seconds for NIGHT mode and release it to be returned to DAY
mode. If camera stay at NIGHT mode more than 10sec, increase EXIT THRES and
repeat the fore mentioned steps. If the scene is too dim, it may not be returned to DAY.
If set to ON, camera insert 8~10sec delay for NIGHT to DAY transition.
This is to avoid the unnecessary transitions between NIGHT and DAY by the short
duration of light such as car lights.
