Installation Procedure
Lens
The lens is not supplied with this camera. Purchase a lens suitable for the environment. This camera
accepts an auto iris lens and both C-and CS-mount lenses.
Note
It is recommended to use the DC type Auto Iris Lens to effectively enjoy the major functions of this
camera.
Keep the lens surface clean, as the picture quality suffers if there is dirt or fingerprints on the Lens.
Using an Auto Iris Lens
1. Strip 8mm of insulation from the end of the Auto Iris Lens cable.
2. Strip 2mm of insulation fro each of the cores of the cable.
3. Remove the cover of the Auto Iris Lens connector plug and solder the lens cable to the
connector pins of the plug.

Manual CC 5201 11
4. Fit the cover of the auto iris lens connector plug, remove the protective CCD cover from the
front of the camera and fasten the Auto Iris Lens by turning it clockwise.
5. Focus the camera using the Auto Iris Lens controls, combined with fine adjustment using the
Back Focus control.
Using a C/CS mount Lens
Before installing a lens, identify whether the lens to be installed is a C-Mount or CS-Mount. This camera
is set for a CS-Mount Lens by default. To install a C-Mount Lens, a simple modification is required.
When Using a CS Mount Lens
Remove the protective cover from the front of this product and turn the
CS-Mount Lens clockwise to install it. Focus the camera using the
CS-Mount Lens and Back Focus controls.
Note
Use a lens threaded as shown in the following figure. If the dimensions of the thread are incorrect
the camera could be damaged, or the lens may not get installed firmly enough.
If the lens is too heavy the camera becomes unbalanced, which may cause problems. Use a lens
weighing less than 450g.
When adjusting the Automatic Level Control (ALC) of an Auto iris Lens, use Av mode if available. If
Pk mode is used the picture brightness may change continuously.

Manual CC 5201 12
When Using a C-Mount Lens
1. Remove the protective cover at the front of this product and fit the C-Mount Adapter, turn it
clockwise to install it.
2. Turn the C-Mount lens clockwise to install it.
3. Focus the camera using the C-Mount Lens and Back Focus controls.
4. Set the lens selection switch, located on the rear of the camera, to either DC or VIDEO
depending on the type of auto iris lens being used.
Connecting to a Monitor
Connect the video output terminal located on the rear of the camera to the Monitor/DVR.

Manual CC 5201 13
Since the connection procedure may differ depending on the type of monitor or peripheral
device to be connected, refer to the User Manual for the device to be connected.
Make sure to turn off the device to be connected before making any connections.
Turn the 75Ώ/Hi-Z switches of interim display devices to the Hi-Z position, and the switches of
any final device to the 75Ώposition.
Connecting to Power
Since power specifications differ depending on the model, make sure to check your model name and
specifications before connecting power. You can connect power as shown in the following figure.
For AC / DC Power
Check the standard power requirement before connecting to power.
Dual Power Type AC90~230V-50Hz/60Hz 4.5W
(AC 24V/DC 12V, AC 24V Class2)
DC Power Type (DC 12V, 500mA)

Voltage drop (V/m) 0.028 0.018 0.011 0.006
As shown in the table above, voltage decreases as the wire gets longer. Therefore use of an
excessively long adaptor output line for connection to the camera may affect the performance of the
camera.
Standard voltage for camera operation: DC 12V ± 10%, AC 24V ± 10%
There may be some deviation in voltage drop depending on the type of wire and the
manufacturer.

Manual CC 5201 14
Control via the RS-485 Interface
The camera can be controlled by using an external controller equipped with RS-485 communications.
To control using a DVR or keyboard controller Connect the RS-485 cable (TRX+, TRX-) to the
connection port of the 485 control board in the DVR or controller.
