WARNING

Caution
This installation should be made by a qualified service person and should conform to all
local and national electrical and mechanical codes.

PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera.
In order to prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or cover. There are
no user-serviceable parts inside.
2. Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture, or try to operate it in wet
areas.
Take immediate action if the camera becomes wet. Turn the power off and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel. Moisture can damage the camera and
also create a danger of electric shock.
3. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning the camera body.
Use a dry cloth to clean the camera when dirty. In a case where the dirt is
hard to remove, use a mild detergent and wipe gently.
4. Never point the camera toward the sun.
Whether the camera is used outdoors or not, never point it toward the sun.
Use caution when operating the camera in the vicinity of spot lights or other
bright lights and light reflecting objects.
5. 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~122° F (-10° C~+50° C) and humidity is below 85%.
6. Use a 24V AC / 12V DC class 2 LPS supply only.

When using a DC drive lens, the ALC/ELC DIP #1 must be set to the ALC (OFF)
position.
5. BLC (Backlight Compensation) ON/OFF Switch
If the subject you wish to view is too dim because of a bright background, set the
BLC DIP switch #2 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 linear shutter (EE or
ELC mode) or an Auto Iris lens (AI lens or ALC mode).

6. ALC/ELC Select Switch (EE/ELC is ON; ALC/AI is OFF)
This switch is used to select EE (electronic exposure)/ELC (electronic light control)
mode or AI (Auto Iris lens)/ALC (automatic light control) mode. DIP switch 1 is set
to ON for EE/ELC and OFF for AI/ALC.
In the EE/ELC 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 Auto Iris lens. In the AI/ALC mode, the CCD shutter speed is
fixed to 1/60 (1/50) sec, and the incoming light level is controlled by the Auto Iris
lens. To use a video-drive type or the DC-drive type of Auto Iris lens, set this
switch to the ALC position.
Cautions
 Under bright lighting conditions such as outdoors, use an Auto Iris lens
because the EE/ELC control range is not wide enough under these
conditions.
 Under certain unique lighting conditions, the following phenomena may
appear:
 Strong smear and/or blooming on highlighted objects such as spotlights
or windows.
 Noticeable flicker in the picture and/or color rendition variations. To
avoid this, use an Auto Iris lens.
 When operating in EE/ELC mode with manual iris lens, the depth of field of
the image may be less than that obtained by using an AI/ALC lens. Depth
of field varies inversely with the iris opening. Thus, using this camera in
EE/ELC mode with the manual iris lens fully opened may result in less depth
of field and the distant objects in a picture may be seen out of focus.
 Fixed iris or manual iris lenses may be used with the linear shutter (EE/ELC
mode) where the scene brightness varies over a limited range.
 Do not use the EE/ELC mode when an Auto Iris lens is installed.

7. AGC ON/OFF Switch
This switch is provided for the AGC circuit. The AGC circuit incorporated into the
camera boosts the sensitivity automatically when the scene illumination is
insufficient.
8. INT/LL Switch (LL is ON; INT is OFF)
This camera can operate independently, using its internal crystal-controlled sync
generator, or it may be synchronized using line-locking.
To select one or the other of these sync modes, set the DIP switch on the rear
panel to either INT or LL. Switch 4 is set to ON for LL and OFF for INT.
If line-lock is selected, all the cameras in the system must be adjusted to begin the
video field scan at the same time. This is described in procedure ⑩.
9. FL ON Switch (Flickerless ON/OFF)
This function is only used in JAPAN. In order to use FL mode, set EE/AI
switch to AI first and then FL ON/OFF switch to ON.
When the DIP switch on the rear panel is set to ON, the shutter speed is
fixed at a rate of 1/100(120)(sec).
10. V-Phase Adjustment Potentiometer
This potentiometer is set full counter clockwise at the factory. If two or
more cameras are connected to a switcher and the picture on the monitor rolls
while switching from camera A to B, adjusting the vertical phase (V-phase) of
the cameras will probably eliminate the rolling. If this adjustment is
necessary, it should only be performed by a 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.

ADC 660N and ADC 660P
_________________________________

1. While observing the video output signals from both cameras on an
oscilloscope, turn camera A's V-phase control (on back of camera)
until vertical sync from both cameras is in phase.
2. If camera A's adjustment range is insufficient, adjust camera B's V-
phase control in the opposite direction to camera A until they are in
phase.
3. If these adjustments do not bring vertical sync from both cameras in
phase, recheck the polarity of the power supply connections.
Camera A's VIDEO OUT
Camera B's VIDEO OUT
Should be in phase
If an oscilloscope is not available, a less accurate adjustment can be made by
observing the monitor and adjusting the V-phase control potentiometer until no
roll occurs on the monitor when switching back and forth between cameras A and B.

11. ALC Level Adjustment Potentiometer for DC Drive Lens
This potentiometer is used only if the camera is fitted with a DC drive Auto Iris lens.
It is used to control the amount of light striking the CCD image sensor.
Turn off AGC. With a brightly lit scene adjust LENS-IRIS control for a clean 1 VPP
video level with no blooming. Turn AGC back on after adjustment is complete.

12. Power Indicator LED
This LED turns ON only when power is supplied properly and the DC-DC converter
(or the regulator) inside the camera works properly.
13. 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 or Vari-Focal Length Lenses
Install a lens and connect the camera to a monitor and power supply as
described in this manual.
Open the iris completely or just before there is blooming in the picture. If an
Auto Iris lens is used, reduce the room lighting to use a neutral density filter to
allow the lens to open completely. This gives the most accurate results.
Adjust the screw slowly until the sharpest picture is obtained. This completes the
adjustment. The back-focus adjustment screw is held in place by friction, so
there is no locking screw to tighten.
Backfocusing Zoom Lenses
Install a lens and connect the camera to a monitor and power supply.
Position the camera 10~30 feet (3~9 meters) from a flat vertical surface
suitable for focusing. A newspaper works well as a focusing target.
Open the iris completely or just before there is blooming in the picture. If an
Auto Iris lens is used, reduce the room lighting or use a neutral density filter to
allow the lens to open completely. This gives the most accurate results.
1. Zoom the lens in to the maximum telephoto setting. Adjust the optical
focus of the lens for the sharpest picture.
2. Zoom out to the maximum wide angle setting. If the picture is no longer in
focus, readjust the back-focus screw to obtain the best focus possible.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the image remains sharp through the entire
zoom range without having to make any focus adjustments.
This completes the adjustment. The back-focus adjustment screw is held in
place by friction, so there is no locking screw.
