CONNECTION
Example of Standard Connection
•When connecting or disconnecting the camera cables (for the camera head and
camera control unit), always turn off the power switch of the camera control unit

(option).
3Connect the VIDEO (or S-VIDEO) terminal of the camera control unit to a video
input terminal of a monitor, etc.
4Connect a DC power supply (12V) to the DC IN 12V terminal of the camera control
unit.
•For DC power supply connecting to DC IN 12V terminal, use UL listed and/or CSA
approved ungrounding type AC adaptor with the specifications described below.
Power supply voltage: DC12V ±0.5V
Current rating: More than 800 mA
Ripple voltage: Less than 50 mV(p-p)

•Using the auto-iris lens
The following table shows the IRIS terminal when using the auto-iris (EE) lens.
Table 1
The IRIS connector used for the IRIS terminal: HR10A-7P-6P of HIROSE ELECTRIC
CO., LTD.
•EE lens
The IRIS extension cable (optional) is usable for the EE lens. Use the connector HR10A-
7P-4P of HIROSE when the IRIS extension cable is selected. For connections, follow the
instruction below.
When the IRIS extension cable is used under
the right condition, the cable automatically
converts to connection for the EE lens in
Table 1.
Notes:
•Current consumption must be 50 mA or less.
•Avoid an incorrect connection or short-circuit.
USING CAMERA CONTROL IN FIXED
POSITION
The camera control unit can be directly mounted by using M3 screws if the four rubber
feet are removed on bottom of the control unit. When mounting directly as described
above, do not use longer screws. If the screws enter by more than 5 mm from the control
unit mounting surface, they will cause a short-circuit inside the control unit. For details of
screw hole locations, refer to “PROFILE”of the camera control unit.

HOW TO USE THE CAMERA
Turn on the POWER switch on the camera control unit and adjust the lens iris and focus
while observing a picture on the monitor screen. To obtain the best picture quality, per-
form various settings.
AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
AGC functions “OFF”, “ON”or “UP”can be selected on the screen menu. Generally, the
camera is used with the AGC set to OFF, but when increased camera sensitivity is re-
quired, it is set to ON. When more sensitivity is required, “UP”is selected. With the AGC
ON, the camera sensitivity approximately doubles, and with the UP selected the sensitiv-
ity approximately doubles again, but noise will also increase. We recommend you in-
crease intensity of the lighting to obtain good pictures.
The AGC measurement area is the same as that used for “AREA”. Refer to “AREA
(Measurement Area)”.
White Balance
A white balance adjustment is necessary to obtain pictures with correct color tone. This
camera allows you to select the white balance adjustment of “AUTO”, “SET”, and
“MANU”. With the AUTO mode selected, the camera adjusts the white balance automati-
cally. Most of shooting will be made in the AUTO mode. The color temperature applicable
to this camera is about 2500 to 7000K.
Outline
Features
Notes
AUTO
Camera automati-
cally measures
object color
temperature and
adjusts the white
balance.
Automatically traces
variations of color
temperature and
adjusts the white
balance.
Under poor illumina-
tion, white balance
may not be cor-
rected.
SET
Adjust white balance
by pressing “UP”
button on the
camera control unit
while shooting a
white object.
Measurement
accuracy is higher
than AUTO mode.
This mode is
effective when
shooting under less
variations of color
temperature.
MANU
Adjust R (red) and B
(blue) levels on the
control unit while
shooting a white
object.
Measurement
accuracy is higher
than SET mode.
This mode is
effective for users
desiring specific
color temperature,
also effective when
shooting under least
variations of color
temperature.
Adjustment will be
made by viewing
monitor or vector
scope.

(1) White balance adjustment in modes other than AUTO
(1.1) White balance adjustment in SET mode
1Set the WB switch to “SET”position.
2Shoot a white object to fill entire screen and press the UP button ( ) for about 2
sec.
3When the white balance adjustment completes, the letters “WB SET”blinking at
the upper right of the screen changes to “WB OK”and then turns off. If the “WB
NG”is displayed, it shows the white balance is out of the adjustment range. This
is caused in the white object is not shot or the video level is set too high or too low
even if the white object is shot. Shoot the white object or set the video level cor-
rectly.
Note:
•With the screen menu displayed, the UP button is used for moving the
cursor or modifying the data. To activate the SET mode by pressing the
UP button, turn off the screen menu.
(1.2) White balance adjustment in MANU mode
1Set the WB switch to “MANU”position.
2Shoot the white object and adjust the white balance by adjusting the white bal-
ance adjust controls “R”and “B”with the screwdriver while observing the moni-
tor or vector scope.
FUNC (Function Lock)
The FUNC LOCK switch protects settings even if a
switch is accidentally pressed after setting. When
the FUNC LOCK switch is ON, only the following
functions are available.
POWER switch (ON/OFF)
FILE (A/B) in menu
Settings will not be changed even if the other
switches are operated. In the menu screen, all ex-
cept FILE and END are displayed in black letters

EXTERNAL SYNC
When using the camera with an external sync, connect a composite video signal (C-VIDEO)
to the EXT SYNC terminal on back of the camera control unit. When the camera accepts
external sync, it is automatically switched from the internal sync to the external sync.
(1) External sync signal input conditions
C-VIDEO : SYNC section 0.3 ±0.1V
(75Ωunbalanced) BURST section 0.3 ±0.1V
(2) External sync frequency range
Within ±50 ppm referred to NTSC standard frequency
(H frequency 15733.5 Hz to 15735.0 Hz)
(3) Using the camera with external sync signal
When using more than two cameras in external synchronization, this adjustment allows
matching of picture tone between two cameras. Adjust H (horizontal) phase and SC (sub
carrier) phase if necessary.
(3.1) H (horizontal) phase adjustment
Observe the external sync signal and video out-
put signal on the camera with a dual trace oscil-
loscope, and adjust “H-PHS”of “SYNC”on the
screen menu so that the H phase matches.
(3.2) SC (sub carrier) phase adjustment
Perform a coarse adjustment for 0, 90, 180, or
270 degrees in “SC-PHS”on the screen menu and then perform a fine adjustment with
“SC-FINE”. Using a vector scope for the phase adjustment will provide more accuracy.

CAUTIONS ON USE AND INSTALLATION
●Carefully handle the units.
Do not drop, or give a strong shock or vi-
bration to the camera. This may cause
problems. Treat the camera cables care-
fully to prevent cable problems, such as
cable breakdown and loosened connec-
tions.
●Do not shoot intense light.
If there is an intense light at a location on
the screen such as a spot light, a bloom-
ing and smearing may occur. When in-
tense light enters, vertical stripes may
appear on the screen. This is not a mal-
function. Ghosts may occur when there
is an intense light near the object. In this
case, change the shooting angle.
●Install the camera in a location free
from noise.
If the camera or the cables are located
near power utility lines or a TV, etc. unde-
sirable noise may appear on the screen.
In such a case, try to change the location
of the camera or the cable wiring.
●Moire
When thin stripe patterns are shot, stripe
patterns that are not actually there (moire)
may appears as interference stripes. This
is not a malfunction.
●Operating ambient temperature and
humidity.
Do not use the camera in places where
temperature and humidity exceed the
specifications. Picture quality will lower
and internal parts may be damaged.
Be particularly careful when using in
places exposed to direct sunlight. When
shooting in hot places, depending on the
conditions of the object and the camera
(for example when the gain is increased),
noise in the form of vertical strips or white
dots may occur. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
●Handling of the protection cap.
Keep the protection cap away from chil-
dren. Children may put them into mouth
or swallow them accidentally. The protec-
tion cap protects the image sensing plane
when the lens is removed from the cam-
era, do not throw away.
●When not using the camera for a long-
time.
Stop supplying power.
●When cleaning the camera
Always turn off the power and clean with
a piece of soft dry cloth. Do not use ben-
zine, alcohol, thinner, household deter-
gents, chemically treated cloths, etc. If
used, coating and printed letters may be
discolored. When cleaning the lens, use
a lens cleaning paper, etc.
●Avoid using or storing the camera in the
following places:
Places filled with highly flammable gas.
Places near gasoline, benzene, or paint
thinner.
Places subject to strong vibration.
Places contacting chemicals (such as pes-
ticides), rubber or vinyl products for a long
period of time.
