features a Extended Dynamic Range
(ExDR) and enables to shoot both bright
and dark locations.
The use of a new CCD with a SENSE UP
(X32) function realized the minimum
luminous flux density for subject of 0.8 lx
(F1.2, 50%, AGC 20dB) and 0.025 lx (at
SENSE UP (X32)). Furthermore, we
realized 0.03 lx (F1.2, 50% AGC 20dB)
thanks to the function of B/W mode.
A motion detector function detects the
motion inside an image and emits alarm
signals.
The equipped Y/C terminals and RS-
422A/RS-485 terminals allow intended
compatibility with diversified systems.

●Do not install or use the camera in the
following places.
• In a place exposed to rain or moisture.
• In a place with vapor or oil soot, for
example in a kitchen.
• When the ambient temperature rises
above or falls below the acceptable
range (from –10°C to 50°C).
• Near a source of radiation, X-rays,
strong radio waves or magnetism.
• In a place subject to vibration.
• In a place with excessive dirt.
●If this camera and the cables connected
to this camera are used where there are
strong electromagnetic waves or where
there is magnetism present, for example
near a radio or TV transmitter, power
transformeroranelectricmotor,thepicture
may produce noise and the colours may
be affected.
●This camera incorporates an AGC circuit.
Asa result, when it is usedunder lowlight
conditions, the camera sensitivity is
automaticallyboostedand the picturemay
look uneven. However, this is not a
malfunction.
●While AGC activated, if use kind of
transceiver which cause strong
electromagnetic wave at close distance,
picture might have influence for beat and
etc.
So please kindly use camera more than
threemetersapart from such transceivers.
●When this camera is used in the ATW
mode,therecordedcoloursmaybeslightly
different from theactualcoloursduetothe
operational principles of the auto-tracking
white balance circuit.However, this is not
a malfunction.
●If a high-intensity object (such as a lamp)

vertical lines (smear) or blur (blooming)
Operating Precautions
at its periphery.This is a characteristic of
the CCD, and is not a defect.
●Observe the following when carrying out
camera maintenance.
• Turn the power OFF before proceeding
to carry out maintenance.
If it is contaminated seriously, clean the
contaminated part with a cloth (or a
tissue) which has been soaked in a
solution of water and a neutral detergent.
●TK-C1460U and TK-C1460E
The unit is to be powered by a DC 12V or
an AC 24 V power supply.
TheAC24Vpowersupplyshouldconform
to the following:
TK-C1460U Class 2 only
TK-C1460E Isolated power supply only
●Caution for operating the video iris lens
In case the video iris lens is set to an
extremelylowlevel,malfunction–suchas
the hunting phenomenon in which the iris
opens or closes unintentionally – can
occur.
In such a case, first set the “LEVEL”
potentiometeronthe lens to the Hposition
(iris open),andthenadjustittoan optimum
level. (Page 20)
●The cable stopper on the terminal block
can come off sometimes. Therefore, be
sure to take enough time and fix the cable
securely.
●When a highly bright subject is shot,
sometimes undulations can be observed
on the vertical lines of the subject.
However, this phenomenon is peculiar to
the unit and is not a sign of malfunction.
●The beat may sometimes appear on the
screen if gain is raised when the line lock
isinuse, butthe phenomenon takesplace
due to the fluctuation of power frequency
and is not a malfunction.
●You may hear some noise when the
screen is switched between the color and
the black and white, because the optical
filter moves. Also, black vertical bands
will appear on the screen.

MEMO
•When operating a system using the RM-P2580, several cameras (up to 16) can be
connectedand used on one control signal cable.Consequently, an incorrect switchsetting
on just a single camera will cause the entire system to work incorrectly.
•Confirm switch settings on the screen as follows.
qConfirm that the image fromthecameratobechecked
is displayed on the monitor.
wTurn OFF and then ON the AC 24 V power to the
camera to be checked.
eThe camera begins the initial operation and charac-
ters similar to those shown in the illustration on the
right appear on the monitor screen.
rConfirm that “DUPLEX”and “ID-□□”are displayed
and that the ID number is the correct number (the
number should be the same as the number of the
VIDEO INPUT terminal to which the camera is con-
nected on the rear panel of the RM-P2580).
tIf wrong, set the camera ID again.

it is a C-mount or CS-mount lens.
Tochange the mountingmethod,loosen
the back-focus locking screw (M 2.6)
using a Phillips head screwdriver, turn
the back-focus adjusting ring with your
fingers or the screwdriver and change
the mounting method.
Asregardsthe dimension (b)ofthearea
to which the lens is to be installed as
illustrated on the left diagram, use the
one with less value than what’s shown
in the table below.
For both the C-mount and CS-mount,
neveruse whateverexceedsthedimen-
sion (b), as such will not allow normal
installation and damage the inner part
of the camera, resulting in a malfunc-
tion.
The F mark indicates a focal point.
2. Mount the lens on the camera by turning
the lens clockwise. Adjust its position.
3. Whenusinganauto-iris lens with an EE
amplifier, turn the switch to the“VIDEO”
side.When no EE amplifier is equipped,
turn the switch to the “DC”side.
4. If the lens has an auto-iris mechanism,
connectthe lenscableaftercheckingthe
pin arrangement.
If the lens cable has a different type of
plug, use the 4-P plug supplied.

Connect the DC 12 V or the AC 24 V power
supply to the DC 12V/AC 24V terminals.To
prevent connection errors or a cable
disconnection,we recommend the use of lug
plates for the connections.
The following table shows the connection
distances and connection cables provided
that 2-conductor VVF cables (vinyl-insulated
vinyl sheath cables) are used.

Power supply (DC 12V or AC 24V)
MEMO
•If thin cables are used (i.e. with a high
resistance), a significant voltage drop will
occur when the unit is at its maximum
power consumption. Either use a thick
cable to restrict the voltage drop at the
camera side to below 10%, or place the
power supply near to the camera. If
voltage drop occurs during operation, the
performance will be unstable.
•Attach the cable conductors so that they
do not come into contact with the drop
prevention wires.
•Do not allow input from both a DC 12 V
and AC 24 V power supply at the same
time.
•When using a DC 12 V power supply,
ensure that the polarities of the cable are
correct.
•The AC 24 V power supply should
conform to the following:
TK-C1460U Class 2 only
TK-C1460E Isolated power supply only

When mounting the camera on a fixer, pan/
tilt,etc.,usethe cameramounting screwhole
located on the camera-mounting bracket.
Furthermore, make use of the rotation
prevention hole to prevent the camera from
falling and securely mount the camera.
Special precautions must be taken for
mounting the camera on a wall or a ceiling.
We are not liable for any damage caused by
improper installation.
Fall Prevention
•Exercise maximum caution when
installingtheunittothewallor ceiling. You
should not engage in the installation work
yourself. Ask a professional to do the job,
since the fall of the unit can result in
injuries and accidents.
•When installing the unit on a fixer, Pan/
Tilt unit, etc., make sure to install it firmly
using a rotation-preventing hole provided
to prevent fall.
•To prevent fall, connect the unit to a
section with sufficient strength (ceiling
slab or channel) using a fall prevention
wire such as a wire chain and the like.
Use the screw hole on the back of the unit
for installation.
Pay utmost attention to the length of the
wire, too.
•Specified screw (M3 ×6 mm)
Never use any screw longer than the
specified length as the inside can be
damaged.
CAUTION:
Use the screw with a
length shorter than 7mm
from a camera-mounting
face.

Connect the camera according to the connection method, turn it on, display an image on the
monitor, and check the image.The camera has been factory-adjusted to the best position, but
it may need to be adjusted according to the object conditions or combination of lenses. If the
image is unnatural, adjust it as follows: (Also read the instruction manual of the lens.)
• LEVEL adjustment

Too dark Clockwise (Toward H)
MEMO
•If the sensitivity adjustment LEVEL is
turned excessively to L, the sensitivity in-
creases because of the AGC function of
the camera, and the image looks grainy.
