PREFACE
The Panasonic Industrial-use Solid State Camera
GP-MF502 incorporates aITL (Inter Line Transfer) type
CCD image sensor.
The GP-MF502 further has an image sensor of 380,000
pixels and 570 lines of horizontal resolution, with smear
reduced to abare minimum.
-1-

FEATURES
1. Newly developed multi-function solid state image
sensor 2/3" ITL CCD image sensor with 768 (H) x
493 (V) pixels.
2. Selectable scanning system :
1-line interlace, 2-line interlace and 2-line
sequential are available for the highest quality
possible within video processing.
3. External synchronization :
External HD and VD input enable system set-up with
external video processors, etc.
4. Seven-step of Electronic Shutter function.
PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or
cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
2. Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture, and
avoid operation in wet areas.
Take immediate action if the camera should become
wet. Turn the power off and request servicing from
qualified service personnel. Moisture can damage
the camera and create danger of electric shock.
3. Do not drop anything inside the camera.
Dropping metal for example inside the camera
could permanently damage the unit. If anything
is dropped inside the camera, turn off the power
immediately and request service from qualified
service personnel.

Never aim the camera at bright objects.
Whether the camera is in use or not, never aim it
at the sun, or other extremely bright objects as this
could cause blooming.
Do not use the camera beyond its temperature,
humidity or power source ratings. This camera is
designed for indoor use.
(a) The ambient temperature must not range
beyond 14°F -122°F(- 10° C-+50°C).
(b) Avoid using the camera when the humidity is
above 90'/..
(c) The input power source must be DC 12V, 260
mA.

EXTERNAL SYNCHRONIZATION
1. 2:1 interlace
The GP-MF502 operates in the 2:1interlace mode
when the external 2:1interlaced HD and VD signals
are supplied to the pin-6 and pin-7 of the Camera
Cable Connector {12 pin).
2. Non-interlace
The GP-MF502 operates in the non-interface mode
when the external non-interlaced HD and VD signals
are supplied to the pin-6 and pin-7 of the Camera
Cable Connector (12 pin)
Note :
If the phase of the falling edges of the external
HD and VD are not matched, the picture will be
disturbed. In this case, set the Latch Switch of
the Mode Selection Switches (SW 2) to the ON
position.

INSTALLATION OF CAMERA
1. Mounting at top
This camera is originally designed to be mounted
from the top, as shown. The hole is the standard
photographic pan-head screw size (1/4" -20).
2. Mounting at bottom
Remove the mount adaptor on the top of the camera
by removing 3fixing screws. Attach the mount
adaptor to the bottom as shown in the diagram,
then mount the camera on the mounting bracket.
Make sure that the 3original screws are used when
mounting the mount adaptor ;longer type screws
will break the inner component.
Mounting at bottom

EXAMPLE OF CONNECTION
1. Connect the optional Camera Cable GP-CA34
between the Camera Cable Connector (3) and the
DC 12V Class 2Power Supply (sold separately).
2. Connect the Video Connector of the GP-CA34 to
the Video Monitor.
