䡵Realizinga High Picture Quality
This camera realizes 540 TV lines (standard) and S/N50 dB (standard) by
employing a highly sensitive CCD with 380,000 pixels (ADCTDN2412N) or
440,000 pixels (ADCTDN2412P/ADCTDN0230P) and a high-resolution video
processing circuit.
䡵Day/Night surveillance
When the light is low, the camera automatically switches to high-sensitive
mode (B&W mode) to allow for day/night surveillance.
䡵CRT/LCD monitor compatible
This camera is compatible for both CRT/LCD monitors. You can make settings
that are easier to view according to the type of monitor used.

Introduction
Storage and Location of Use
䢇This camera has been designed for indoor use. When you use it outdoors,
be sure to use a housing or the like.
䢇Do not install or use the camera in the following places.
●In a place exposed to rain or moisture.
●In a place with vapor or oil, for example in a kitchen.
●When the ambient temperature rises above or falls below the acceptable
range (from -10 Ito 50 I)
●In a place at which corrosive gases are emitted.
●Near a source of radiation, X-rays, strong radio waves or magnetism.
●In a place subject to vibration.
●In a place with excessive dirt.
䢇Using this unit or cables connected to this unit at places at which strong
radio waves and magnetism are emitted (e.g. near a radio, TV, transformer
or motor) may give rise to noises in the image and changes in its color.
Maintenance
䢇Turn off the power before performing maintenance.
䢇Clean the camera with a soft cloth. Wiping it with thinner or benzene may
melt the surface or cause it to fog. For tough stains, wipe using a cloth that
is dipped into a neutral detergent diluted with water, followed by wiping
with a dry cloth.
Energy Conservation
䢇When the camera is not in use for a long time, turn off the power of the
system for safety and energy conservation reasons.
OperatingPrecautions
ADCTDN2412N_P_EN.book Page 10 Friday, September 28, 2007 12:49 PM

Others
䢇This camera comes with a built-in AGC circuit. The sensitivity increases
automatically at a dark place and the screen may appear grainy. This is not
a malfunction.
䢇While the AGC is activated, if a transceiver which causes strong
electromagnetic wave is used near the camera, the picture may suffer from
beat.
䢇Please use the camera more than five meters from such transceivers.
䢇You may hear some noise during power on and when the screen is
switched between the color and the black and white mode, because of the
movement of the optical filter switching motor. Also, the image will be
somewhat distorted.
䢇The beat may sometimes appear on the screen if gain is raised when the
line lock is in use, but the phenomenon takes place due to the fluctuation
of power frequency and is not a malfunction.
䢇When this camera is used in the White Balance ATW (automatic tracking)
mode, the color tone may differ slightly from the actual color due to the
principle of the automatic tracking white balance circuit. This is not a
malfunction.
䢇If a high brightness object (such as a lamp) is shot, the image on the
screen may have white vertical tailings. This is a characteristic of the CCD
known as the smear phenomenon and is not a malfunction.
䢇When a high brightness object is shot, sometimes undulations can be
observed on the vertical lines of the object. However, this phenomenon is
peculiar to the camera and is not a malfunction.
䢇Caution for operating the VIDEO IRIS lens
If the LEVEL dial of the VIDEO IRIS lens is set to a low level (L position), a
malfunction - such as the hunting phenomenon where the iris opens and
closes involuntarily - can occur. In such a case, first set the LEVEL dial on
the lens to the H position, and then adjust it to an optimum level while
checking the video signal.
䢇This camera achieves optical performance by using specified lens (1/3
inch size) conformed to CCD size. However, some general lens may not
meet this specification (effective image circle is small or optic displacement
is big). When such lens are used, negative effects such as shading may
occur.

●This camera is set to CS-mount lens before shipment. To use a C-mount
lens, loosen the back focus locking screw with a screwdriver, turn the back
focus adjustment ring with your finger or the screwdriver and change the
mounting method.
●For the dimension (a) of the lens mounting section as illustrated in the
diagram, use the value that is shown in the table below.
Note:
●Never use one that exceeds the dimension (a) as it will damage the inner
part of the camera and will not allow normal installation. This will result in a
malfunction.
