subject to change without notice.
PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not install the camera near electric or magnetic fields.
Install the camera away from TV, radio transmitter, magnet, electric motor, transformer,
audio speakers since the magnetic fields generate from above devices will distort the video
images.
2. Never disassemble the camera nor put impurities in it.
Disassembly or impurities may result in trouble or fire.
3. Never face the camera toward the sun.
Direct sunlight or severe ray may cause fatal damage to sensor and internal circuit.
4. Keep the power cord away from water and liquid.
Touching the wet power cord may result in electric shock.
5. Never install the camera in areas exposed to water, oil or gas.
Water, oil or gas may result in failure, electric shock or fire.

6. Cleaning
Do not touch the surface of sensor by hand directly. Use a soft cloth to remove the dirt from
the camera body. Use lens tissue or a cotton swab and ethanol to clean the sensor and the
camera lens.
7. Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature, humidity or
power source ratings.
Use the camera at temperatures within -46℃~ 50℃; -50.8°F~122°Fand humidity between
20%~ 80%. The input power source is 12VDC+/-10%, 24VAC+/-10%.
PREFACE
The most technically advanced EHD150 is the newest vandal-resistant B/W Rugged Dome
Camera from EverFocus Electronics. The B/W Rugged Dome Camera can withstand a blow
from a 10-pound sledgehammer and has a built-in heater that allows for operation in low
temperatures. It is perfect for all high-profile crime-prone applications such as building
entrances, retail stores, and shopping malls. The extremely EHD150 is unquestionably one
of the world's toughest cameras and is your best choice for vandal resistance.

INSTALLATION
1. Loosen the 4 fix screws on the housing cover by using the attached wrench (Figure 1).
Carefully uncap the housing cover as the direction shown below (Figure 2), please pay attention
not to damage the lens. To remove the housing cover, push the hinges to the bottom of the
bracket, the hinges can be easily removed from the bracket.
2. Remove the camera.
To remove the camera, first unplug the wire connection on the back of the camera.
Then loosen the 2 locking screws on the camera base, push the camera base to the right
(toward heater direction, as shown in Figure 3), remove the camera from the mounting
base. Reinstall the camera and the cable while the base mounting is completed.

3. Mounting the base.
Attach the base to the wall or ceiling, fix the base by the 4 setscrews attached in the
accessory pack. The dome is weighted 1.7kg, please make sure if the mounting is
strengthened enough to support it, if not, please reinforce the mounting according to the
environment.
Note: The diameter of the screw hole isψ4.7mm.
Caution: To prevent moisture leaking into the housing, apply an appropriate gasket

4. Re-assemble Camera
1. If mounting COLOR RUGGED DOME CAMERA on the wall, please to aim
the “Wall” in line with the triangle “S” marked on the lead frame. (factory
default)
2. If mounting COLOR RUGGED DOME CAMERA on the ceiling, please to
aim the “Ceiling” in line with the triangle “S” marked on the lead frame.

5. Wire Connection
Connect the power supply cable (AC24V/DC12V), video output and alarm output to
the proper connectors shown as Figure 7.
The V. Phase adjustment screw is located on the termination board. The vertical phase
may require adjustment to synchronize the vertical phase of the camera with other
camera in the system when it is to be used in the line-lock sync mode. Make the
adjustment when the vertical phase of the camera does not match with other cameras.

6. View Angel Adjustment
The camera can be rotated 360∘horizontally, 140°vertical and 60° 3’rd axis view
angles (as shown in Figure 8). Adjust the proper camera view angel as needed. If
a vari-focal lens is used, you may adjust the focus and zoom of the lens to bring the
object in focus. Be sure to loosen the locking screws on the lens before you do the
adjustments.

DIPSWITCH FUNCTION
LL(Line-Lock) Off/On
To select the sync mode between Internal Sync.(LL off) and Line-Lock (LL on).
Set the line-lock off, the camera will synchronize to the internal time base. Set the
line-lock on, the camera’s vertical synchronization can be driven by the AC signal in the
power lines.
Note: Line-Lock sync mode operation is possible only when used with an AC power
source; it’s not possible with a DC power source.
The default setting is ON.
AGC (Automatic Gain Control) Off/On
AGC ON: The sensitivity increases automatically when light is low.
AGC OFF: A-low-noise picture is obtained under a low light condition.
The default setting is ON.

BLC (Back Light Compensation) On/Off
When BLC is turned on, the AGC, ES and IRIS operating point is determined by
averaging over the center area instead of entire field-of-view, so that a dimly-lit
foreground object at center area can be clearly distinguished from brightly-lit
backgrounds.
BLC should not be used unless it is needed to compensate for back-lit.
The default setting is Off.
FL (Flickerless Function) On/Off
When picture flicker fiercely, turn FL on, then the camera will stabilize the speed of
electronic shutter at 1/100(NTSC) or 1/120(PAL) automatically, and reduce the flicker
immediately.
The default setting is Off.
ES (Electronic Shutter) Off/On
ES ON: The camera continuously adjusts the shutter speed from 1/60 (NTSC), 1/50
(PAL) second to 1/100,000 second according to the luminance conditions of the scene.
ES OFF: The shutter speed is fixed at 1/60 (NTSC), 1/50 (PAL) second.
Set ES OFF, when auto iris lens is used or flicker is observed under a very bright
fluorescent lamp. Otherwise, turn ES on for optimum performance. The default setting
is ON.
