IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

- 2 -
Caution:
- Do not install this camera at sea, at coast or in coastal area or at any corrosive
gas generating place.
- Since it is not of totally weatherproof specifications, do not install this camera at
any weather-beaten place.
When it is used ounted with the shade for outdoor use (SS-20), the weatherproof
specifications eet the require ents of IP54 (Confor able to IEC/EN 60529).
This ca era ay be installed outdoors but with restrictions; do not install this
ca era at any place open to gusty wind and rain as seen in typhoon (e.g., high steel
tower), to snow (e.g., cold district), to water spray (e.g., coast or coastal area), or to
water (e.g., under the water).

INT/LL switch
INT (internal) control switch
When the internal synchronization is used, set the switch to the INT side.
LL (Line-Lock) control switch
Matching the vertical synchronization with the power frequency is called the line-lock.
When two or more cameras are switched by the video switcher to a monitor TV, the vertical
sync. phase can be locked with the power frequency, and a stable vertical sync. is obtained
without being disturbed at the time of switching.
Line-lock is operative only when the AC 24V power supply is connected.
Caution:
1.The camera is synchronized to the power frequency of 60Hz 0.5Hz covering a
normal fluctuation of the power frequency. The camera may not compensate for
large fluctuation caused by power generated by an engine generator. etc.
2.It takes about 10 seconds or more to obtain a stable synchronization after the
power is turned on. This is necessary to stabilize the camera against the power
noise.
BLC (Back Light Control) switch
In case the back lighting is too bright to shoot the main object clearly, set this switch to ON
position.

- 5 -
SENS-UP switch
To increase the sensitivity, set this switch to ON position.
DAY/NIGHT switch
When the DAY/NIGHT function is used, this switch is turned ON. (See P. 9.)
Camera output terminal
This is an image output terminal. When the camera direction, the field angle or the focal point is
adjusted, a monitor TV or other type display is connected to this terminal.
When a monitor TV is connected to this terminal, remove the 2P connector beforehand.
Level adjusting volume
This volume is used to adjust the brightness of the image. If the lens iris is not appropriate,
adjust the iris with this level adjusting volume.
Vertical sync. phase adjustment potentiometer
Vertical sync. phase adjusting potentiometer is set at the position fully that the delay time of
vertical sync. phase against the phase of power frequency is shortest, when shipped from the
factory.
Select this up ( ) and down ( ) button will make the delay time of vertical sync. phase
against the phase of power frequency longer.
Use the function control potentiometer if the picture image on a monitor TV may flow
when using the camera in combination with other camera(s) controlled by the Line-Lock
synchronization.
In this case, get a proper image by shifting the phase of vertical sync. signal of the camera
against that of the other. If a proper image cannot be obtained even after this adjustment, reset
the potentiometer to its original position, and use the function control potentiometer of the
other camera to shift the phase of vertical sync. signal of other camera.
Caution:
Before making adjustment, make sure that cameras have their power supplies
connected with the same polarity. (not 180 apart)

1. Remove the rear cover, the GND cable, and the two 2P connectors.
2. Connect the coaxial cable and the power cable.
After connecting the power cable on the terminal block, be sure to mount the protective cover.
Caution:
Fasten the weatherproof cap firmly, and make sure that the cable is fixed
completely. If the cap is not fastened firmly, water leak may be caused.
(The appropriate tightening torque: 4.0~4.5N.m)
When connecting the coaxial cable, be sure to remove the 2P connectors.
3. Connect the two 2P connectors and the GND cable.
After connecting the connectors and the cable, mount the rear cover.
Caution:
The rear cover has a weatherproof seal. Before mounting the rear cover, make
sure that the seal is set in the groove in the rear cover. If the setting of the seal is
not sufficient, water leak may be caused.
When mounting the rear cover, be careful not to pinch the two 2P connectors or
the GND cable.
Be sure to connect the ground wire of the power cable to the earth terminal .
Do not use the power cable of flat type, which does not fit
the weatherproof cap.
For the power cable, use one attached with a force-fit
terminal.
If the force-fit portion of the force-fit terminal is protruded
from the terminal block, insulate the force-fit portion.

1. Built-in Lens
This camera is built in with a dedicated varifocal lens.
F: 1.4 f: 2.8mm~5.8mm
2. Lens adjustment
Adjust the field angle of the lens with the zoom ring, and set the focus with the focus ring.
After setting, lock the lens firmly with the focus ring locking knob and the zoom ring locking
knob. (Factory setting: WIDE end / Infinite)
Adjust the iris volume, if necessary, to obtain the appropriate exposure. (See P.5 .)
Caution:
When adjusting the iris of the auto iris lens, open the iris fully in the circumstance
with sufficient light amount of the object beforehand. If the light amount of the
object is not sufficient, a malfunction may occur.

This camera is provided with Day/Night function that can detect the brightness of the objects and
automatically switch the color mode / black-and-white mode according to the detected brightness.
This function allows the output of ordinary colored images for the outdoor monitoring during
daylight and the output of black-and-white images for the night monitoring with a lack of sufficient
light volume. Therefore, even at night, this camera can provide monitoring through images with
little noise.
Furthermore, since this function raises the sensitivity in the infrared area, even a dark object can be
imaged more clearly at night when a commercially available infrared lamp is used together. To
make this function enabled, set the Day/Night switch on the rear panel to "ON."
When the Day/Night switch is set to "OFF," the camera operates as an ordinary color camera even
at night.
When the Day/Night switch is set to "ON" and the object becomes gradually brighter as the time
passes like dawn, it may take time to switch from the black-and-white mode to the color mode. As a
result, the image taken in the early morning may be in black and white. However, note that this is
not a malfunction.
The Day/Night function controls the mode switching between the color mode and the black-and-
white mode according to the signal level.
Since the signal level varies depending on the camera settings to shoot the object, the timing of
Day/Night switching varies accordingly.
When more than one screen is displayed by the controller or the like, the Day/Night mode may vary
depending on the camera shooting conditions even if the brightness is the same.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE AND INSTALLATION
*Never aim the camera at the sun.
Never aim or point the camera at the sun even
if you are not shooting.
*Do not shoot intense light.
Strong light such as a spot light on the image
plane will cause blooming or smear. When
strong light comes into the image plane,
vertical stripes may appear on it. However,
this does not mean that the camera is defect.
*Take precautions when handling a camera.
Do not drop your camera, or give it a strong
shook or vibration. This may cause camera to
malfunction.
*Do not touch internal parts.
Be sure not to touch the internal parts. This
may cause to electrical shock.
*Do not let the camera get wet.
Install the camera at the place where it will
not get wet.
Should it gets wet, turn off the power
immediately and contact your dealer.
*Install your camera where no video noise
appears.
When camera cables have been laid near
electric wires or television receivers, a noise
may interfere the image.
If noise occurs, relocate cables or reinstall
equipment.
*Check the ambient temperature and humidity.
Avoid using camera in areas where
temperature is consistently hotter or colder
than the specified range (See Specifications
chart below) or poor image quality or
damaged parts may occur. Precautions should
also be taken to avoid areas of high humidity.
*Should you notice any trouble.
If any trouble occurs while you are using the
camera, turn off the camera and contact your
dealer. Failure to do so may cause damage to
the camera.
*The socket-outlet should be installed near the
equipment and should be easily accessible.
