BEFORE YOU BEGIN
GENERAL
Thank you for choosing this advanced and high quality camera. Before connecting or operating
this product, please read these instructions carefully.
These instructions cover the entire range of the GE series of CCTV cameras.
Note that not all cameras have all of the features described in this manual.
As standard, all cameras within the range are fitted with an auto iris lens connector, adjustable
back focus, and accept both C and CS lenses (with supplied adapter.)
PRODUCT SAFETY
ATTENTION:-
Only qualified and experienced personnel should install and service this equipment.
Cameras operating at AC mains 230 V contain hazardous voltages.
Do not remove the camera casing, as there is a risk of injury or death by electric
shock.
No user serviceable parts inside.
Cameras connected to mains supplies must be connected to an earth connection.
Only operate low voltage cameras from a Class 2 isolated power supply.
The GE series of CCTV cameras are designed for use in general purpose CCTV applications.
Only operate the cameras between –10oC and + 50oC.
Do not use the camera outside the specified power supply range.
The cameras must be used in a clean, dry, dust free environment, unless fitted into a suitable
protective housing rated at IP65.
The voltage required to operate the camera is clearly marked on the rear of the camera.
Low voltage versions must be used with a Class 2 isolated power supply
The Red Power LED on the rear panel indicates that power is connected.
LENSES
To optimise the picture quality from the camera, it is important to select the appropriate lens for
the application, and to ensure the lens is correctly set up.
• Before fitting a lens, make sure that the rear of the lens does not touch the CCD image
sensor inside the camera.
• Do not touch the surface of the CCD image sensor.
• Do not expose the CCD image sensor to direct sunlight, as this may impair or damage the
camera’s performance
Installation Instructions

• All GE cameras support the use of C and CS type lenses.
Four types of lenses can be used with the digital range of cameras (see section Setup for
pictures):
• Fixed Iris and Manual Iris lenses are recommended for internal applications, and where the
light levels are constant. These lenses do not require any wiring connections to the camera.
Ensure that the Lens Mode switch on the rear of the camera is set to AES.
• Auto Iris lenses and Direct Drive lenses are connected to the camera via the auto-iris
connector and are suitable for both internal and external applications. A suitable 4-pin
connector is provided within the camera packaging. For the wiring connections for both types
of lenses, refer to this manual and the lens manufacturer documentation.
• An Auto Iris lens internally monitors the video signal from the camera, and automatically
adjusts the iris to the varying light levels. Typically, these lenses provide a level adjustment
on the side on the lens casing (refer to the lens manufacturer documentation). Ensure that
the Lens Mode switch is set to VD when using an auto iris lens.
• A Direct Drive lens is controlled internally from the camera, and automatically adjusts the iris
to the varying light levels. To adjust the level of the lens to obtain 1 Volt p-p, use the DC level
adjustment potentiometer on the side of the camera. Ensure that the Lens Mode switch is set
to DD when using a Direct Drive lens.
LENSES – SET UP GUIDE
Fixed Iris lenses - Set the lens focus to infinity and view an image greater than 5 meters away. If
the picture is not clear and appears out of focus, use the back focus adjustment to improve the
picture.
Manual Iris lenses - Open the iris fully and set the lens focus to infinity. View an image greater
than 5 meters away. If the picture is not in focus, use the back focus adjustment to improve the
picture. Adjust the focus and iris as required.
Auto-Iris and Direct Drive lenses - Fully open the iris by covering the lens with a suitable neutral
density filter (ND) (not supplied). Set the lens focus to infinity and view an image greater than 5
meters away. Focus the image using the back focus adjustment. Remove the ND filter and adjust
the focus as required. Repeat this process to confirm.
Focussing may vary between day and night time, and the amount of infra red light viewed by the
camera.

1.1.1 WHITE BALANCE (ATW/AWB)
ATW mode (default)
In the ATW mode, the colour temperature is being monitored continuously, and the white balance
is set automatically by an internal micro-controller. The operating colour temperature range is
from 2500 to 9500 K.
AWB mode
When the switch is set to AWB (conventional white balance), a camera using white as its
reference automatically adjusts the content of blue and red in the picture, depending on the
scene, to provide a picture with balanced colour content. If the colour temperature of the scene is
continuously changing, the camera can lose its colour reference; in this case, switch the camera
to ATW.
1.1.2 BACKLIGHT COMPENSATION (BLC ON)
This auto BLC is a digital light-level control system. It is activated automatically by screen
histogram (contrast) and 225-area window weighting integration. This controls iris gain and white
balance simultaneously so that a clear object with adequate light level can be optimised.
Central Window Weighted Average Backlight Compensation
This method is ideal when the main subject is fixed within the screen.
Histogram Backlight Compensation
This method is ideal when the main subject moves within the screen.
The combination of two types of backlighting makes it easier to arrange backlight compensation
operation to match the imaging conditions and installation location.
Note: Compensation might be insufficient when the background is extremely bright.
1.1.3 GAMMA CORRECTION (r = .45 / r = 1)
Gamma correction is an electronic correction within the camera circuitry that matches the
brightness level seen by the camera with the brightness level displayed on the monitor. This
adjustment enables the monitor to display the correct level of contrast. The standard setting is .45
(default). The manual switch should be used only if the controls on the monitor are not giving
sufficient adjustment.
1.1.4 SYNCHRONISATION (L-LOCK/INT)
Line-Lock (external) (default)
The sync pulses are referenced to the supply frequency. The phase adjust buttons are used to
synchronise cameras even when they are connected to different phases of the mains supply,
which results in roll-free pictures
Internal
An internal sync generator is used when the camera is being powered off of 12 VDC.
1.1.5 AUTO/MANUAL SWITCH (DAY/NIGHT ONLY)
In auto mode, the camera automatically switches from colour mode to black and white mode as
light decreases. In manual mode, you can manually switch the camera from daytime colour mode
to nighttime B/W mode using the Day/Night switch (see section 1.1.6).

After adjustment use the screwdriver to lock the thumbwheel screw
3.1 DD LEVEL (FOR DC-TYPE LENSES)
When the lens mode switch is set to DD, you can set the lens iris level adjustment to ensure the
correct exposure depending on the camera’s position and the lighting levels. (See Figure 2.)

3.2 MON OUT (BNC)
The monitor output BNC connector can accept the BNC connector of a local monitor or of a
monitor used to test camera setup.
3.3 EXTERNAL SYNC PHASE ADJUSTMENT BUTTONS
CAUTION:
The phase adjustment must be made by a qualified service person or installer.
The vertical phase of the camera video signal can be synchronised to the phase of the AC power
line by using a dual-trace oscilloscope to observe the video output signal (V-rate) of the camera
and by adjusting the line-lock phase control buttons to line up the phases of both signals. In line-
lock mode, this synchronisation is automatic.
