FCC statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. this device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Any unauthorized modification to this equipment could result in the revocation of the
authorization to operate the equipment.
Lenses
The camera is provided with a standard CS-mount. Therefore, a wide range of lenses can be
used. For example:
fixed iris lenses
manual iris lenses
DC auto-iris lenses
active auto-iris lenses
Notes
1. For indoor use, you can use a fixed iris lens. For outdoor applications, a DC or active auto-
iris lens is recommended.
2. Try to avoid bright light sources in the cameras field of view when you use a fixed iris lens.
They may cause smear in the picture.
When you use a DC or active auto-iris lens, the smear will be reduced.
3. When you use a DC or active iris lens, it is recommended to set the Auto Electronic
Shutter (AES switch; 8) to the OFF position.
4. When an C/CS-mount adapter (optional) is used, C-mount lenses can also be applied.
Installation (Figure 1, 2 & 3)
Use this screw hole to mount the camera. Maximum allowed length of the screw is 8mm.
The screw block can be mounted on the top or bottom side of the camera.
Note: Take care to use the original screws (M2 x 6), when mounting the screwblock on
the top side.
The camera is equipped with a standard CS-mount. For C-mount lenses, an optional C to
CS adapter-ring must be used.
Back-focus locking screw (must be released before setting the focus with the back-focus
adjustment screw).
Back-focus adjustment screw (see back-focus adjustment).
Power input/Terminal block.
Low voltage camera
Power input rating:
- PAL: 12 - 24 V~(AC) or 12 - 30 V

(DC) + 10%, - 10%
- NTSC: 12 - 28 V~(AC) or 12 - 36 V

(DC) + 10%, - 10%
Recommended operating voltage:
- 12 V

(DC) or 24 V~(AC)
Terminals:
a: positive (+) wire for DC, any supply wire for AC
b: negative (-) wire for DC, other supply wire for AC
c: mechanical ground (differential voltage between any supply wire and mechanical ground
should be less then 50 V)
For a NTSC camera use class 2 type of wiring and a power supply compliant with UL1492. For
a PAL camera, use a power supply that meets the requirements for SELV circuit, according to
EN 60065 or EN 60742 only.
Mains voltage camera
Connect the camera to a power voltage of 100-240V~ 50/60 Hz.
The camera electronics are galvanically insulated from the camera power supply, to make a
system with more then one camera unsusceptible to ground loop problems.
Synchronization of more cameras can be obtained by connecting them to an AC power supply.
The cameras will be locked to the local AC power frequency. (When a DC power source is
used, the cameras will be internally locked.)
Iris control connector
Connect a DC iris lens (passive iris lens) or a Video iris lens (active iris lens) via the 4 pin
plug to this connector.
Pin configuration:
For DC iris: For Video iris:
1: damping coil - 1: not used
2: damping coil + 2: video
3: drive coil + 3: +12V
4: drive coil - 4: ground
Set the AES switch 8 to OFF when a DC or Video iris lens is used.
Iris level adjustment
To adjust the brightness of the image when a DC iris lens is used.
AES and BLC switches
- AES (Automatic Electronic Shutter control);
Set this switch to ON when a manual or fixed iris lens is used.
- BLC (BackLight Compensation);
Set this switch to ON in a scene where backlighting results in a dark centre of the
image.

V-phase adjustment (only functional when the camera is AC-powered)
When more cameras are connected to different AC power groups and share the same
monitor, video recorder, etc., AC phase differences may occur. If so, the video picture will
be unsynchronized for a short period (rolling picture) each time you switch the monitor
to another camera.
By means of the V-phase adjustment (range: 0 to 300), you can synchronize the cameras.
CVBS output
Video signal output (75 Ohm impedance)
IRIS switch
- Set this switch to DC when using a DC iris lens
- Set this switch to VIDEO when using a Video iris lens
- Set the AES switch to OFF when a DC or Video iris lens is used.
Y/C output (only for high resolution camera)
By using this separate luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) output, you can
improve the display performance.
Pin configuration of S-video
(mini DIN) connector:
1: GND (Y)
2: GND (C)
3: luminance (Y)
4: chrominance (C)
Back-focus adjustment
- Make sure that the iris is fully open.
- Adjust the focus ring of the lens (if applicable) to the object distance.
- Unlock the back-focus mechanism by releasing screw approx. turn.
- Adjust the back-focus distance by rotating screw until the image is sharp.
- Lock the back-focus mechanism, using screw .
