4. Tighten the screws and thumb nuts to lock the gimbal assembly in place.
5. Focus the lens:
a. Place the dome as shown in Figure 9.
b. Adjust the focal length using the top locking screw. See Figure 10 for
color cameras or Figure 11 for monochrome cameras.
c. Adjust the focus using the bottom locking screw (closest to the camera
board). See Figure 10 for color cameras or Figure 11 for monochrome
cameras.
6. To adjust the camera direction, view angle and focus, connect the service
monitor cable (supplied) to the video monitor output (see Figure 10 for color
cameras and Figure 11 for monochrome cameras).
7. Rotate the dome and place it over the base so that the security screws are
lined up with the screw holes on the base.
8. Check the picture. If the focus is clear, go to step 9. If the focus is not clear,
repeat step 5 and step 6 until you are satisfied with the picture clarity.

Vari-focal Auto Iris Configuration (Color Cameras)
To adjust the focal length and focus of the lens, see Figure 10. Color
cameras have a potentiometer on top of the board to regulate the Auto Iris
lens.
9. Set the DIP switches. See the following sections for the DIP switch functions
and adjustment methods.

Adjust the Line Lock (Vertical Phase) For External Sync
Reference
Phase adjustment may be necessary in multiple camera installations to prevent
picture roll when switching between cameras. To adjust the vertical phase while
switching between two cameras, turn the line lock adjustment pot on one camera
until there is no vertical roll. See Figure 10 for color cameras and Figure 11 for
monochrome cameras. The wide dynamic range (WDR) cameras use line lock
adjustment buttons to adjust the vertical phase (see Figure 11).
Note If the phase cannot be adjusted to prevent picture roll, reverse the
line-lock input polarity.
Adjust the Backlight Compensation
The backlight compensation (BLC) adjusts the electronic shutter speed of the
camera based on the light levels in specific areas of the scene. This adjustment
provides better image quality for scenes that are unevenly lit.
To adjust the BLC, set the BLC switch to ON (see Figure 10 for color cameras and
Figure 11 for monochrome cameras). Center window weighted.
Secure the Camera and Dome Enclosure
To secure the camera and dome enclosure:
1. Ensure that the gimbal is locked in place (see Figure 6).
2. Rotate the dome enclosure until the #8-32 security screws line up with the
base, then secure it to the base (see Figure 12).

Routine Maintenance
Use regular liquid cleaners to remove most dirt and grime from the HD16
enclosure.
Caution Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners which can scratch the
polycarbonate dome and reduce visibility from the camera.
Dome Replacement
If the polycarbonate dome is damaged or scratched beyond use, contact your
distributor or salesperson to order a dome replacement. To replace the HD16
dome:
1. Use the security hex key (supplied) to loosen the #8-32 security screws
securing the HD16 lid to the base.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the #6 x 1/4 inch Hi-lo tapping screws
that attach the dome retainer plate to the front cover.
3. Remove the damaged dome and replace it with the new dome.
4. Use a Phillips screwdriver to attach the dome retainer plate to the HD16 front
plate with the screws you removed in step 2.
5. Use the security hex key to tighten the security screws that secure the HD16
lid to the base.
