PRECAUTIONS
In case of problem
Do not use the camera if smoke or a
strange odour comes from the unit, or if it
seems not to function correctly. Disconnect
the power cord immediately, and consult
your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service
Centre).
Do not open or modify
Do not open the cabinet, as it may be
dangerous and cause damage to the unit.
For internal settings and repairs, consult
your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service
Centre).
Do not put ob ects inside the unit
Make sure that no metal objects or
flammable substance get inside the camera.
If used with a foreign object inside, it could
cause a fire, short-circuits or damages.
If water or a liquid gets inside the camera,
disconnect the power cord immediately,
and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo
Authorized Service Centre). Be careful to
protect the camera from rain, sea water,
etc.
Be careful when handling the unit
To prevent damages, do not drop the
camera or subject it to strong shock or
vibration.
Install away from electric or
magnetic fields
If installed close to a TV, radio transmitter,
magnet, electric motor, transformer, audio
speakers the magnetic field they generate
will distort the image.
Protect from humidity and dust
To prevent damages to the camera, do not
install it where there is greasy smoke or
steam, where the dampness may get too
high, or where there is a lot of dust.
Protect from high temperatures
Do not install close to stoves, or other heat
generating devices, such as spotlights, etc.,
or where it could be subject to direct
sunlight, as that could cause deformation,
discoloration or other damages.
Be careful when installing close to the
ceiling, in a kitchen or boiler room, as the
temperature may raise to high levels.
Install where the temperature range will
stay between –10˚C and 0˚C.
(no condensation)
Cleaning
•Dirt can be removed from the cabinet
by wiping it with a soft cloth. To
remove stains, wipe with a soft cloth
moistened with a soft detergent
solution and wrung dry, then wipe dry
with dry soft cloth.
•Do not use benzine, thinner or other
chemical product on the cabinet, as that
may cause deformation and paint
peeling. Before using a chemical cloth,
make sure to read all accompanying
instructions. Make sure that no plastic
or rubber material comes in contact
with the cabinet for a long period of
time, as that may cause damage or
paint peeling.

GFlange-back lock screw (FLANGE BACK LOCK)
Flange-back ad ustment
If the pick-up surface is not correctly positioned with relation
to the lens focal point, the picture will be out of focus (in
particular when using auto-iris power zoom lenses, sold
separately). If that is the case, adjust the flange-back position
as described below.
1Using a + screwdriver, loosen the FLANGE BACK LOCK
screw (M2:+).
Set the zoom lens to the maximum telephoto position,
set the focus using the focus ring on the lens.
2Set the zoom lens to the maximum wide angle position,
set the focus using the FLANGE BACK ADJ. screw.
3Repeat steps 2 and 3, until the image stays in focus when
changing from a telephoto shot to a wide angle shot.
When the setting is complete, tighten the FLANGE
BACK LOCK screw.
MOUNTING THE LENS
Check the lens mount
Do not use a lens if the length “L” is more than 7 mm.
That may damage the camera and prevent proper
installation.
Installation of a DC type auto-iris lens (sold
separately)
A 1/3 inch CS mount type lens without EE amplifier circuit
that only uses a DC power source. This camera can receive
(the A.I. LENS switch to the DC type) a CS mount type lens
without the need of an adaptor.
If the lens plug shape or wiring does not correspond, please
install the supplied plug as indicated in the pin layout table.

SETTINGS
Line phase ad ustment
When using a camera switcher to connect 2 cameras or more to
one monitor, there may be a vertical roll of the images when
switched. In such a case, set as described below.
1Set the SYNC switch to the L-L position.
2Switch the display on the monitor from camera 1 to camera 2.
Adjust the LINE PHASE volume on camera 2 until the vertical
roll of the image stops.
If more than two cameras are used, please repeat this
procedure for all the cameras.
CAUTION:
If the vertical roll cannot be corrected by setting the LINE PHASE
volume on camera 2, try setting the LINE PHASE volume on
camera 1. If it still cannot be corrected, please check that the
polarity of the power cords of all connected devices is correct.

SETTINGS
High speed electronic shutter setting
Normally, the speed setting switches for the high speed ES
(electronic shutter) are all set to the OFF position. This sets the
electronic shutter speed to 1/ 0 sec. The switches can be set as
indicated in table A to select one of the 8 speeds available.
Model VCB-3170P
When using the high speed electronic shutter, the EI/BLC
switch must be set to the OFF position.
The switches can be set as indicated in table A, to select one of
the 8 speeds available.
Model VCB-3100P
The switches can be set as indicated in table A, to select one of
the speeds (1, 5, 6, 7, 8) available.
CAUTION:
•When using the high speed electronic shutter, the EI/BLC
switch (model VCB-3170P) or the EI and BLC switches (model
VCB-3100P) must be set to the OFF position.
•Using the high speed electronic shutter indoors with low
lighting, will give darker pictures. In such a case, add some
lights to make sure the lighting is sufficient. If the lighting is very
bright, pay attention to the light angle in order to avoid or
minimize the smear phenomenon effect.

Electronic iris function setting
Use a manual or fixed iris lens and set the lens aperture to the
shortest F stop. Set the EI/BLC switch (model VCB-3170P) to EI
(electronic iris)-ON or the EI switch (model VCB-3100P)) to the ON
position.
The dynamic range of the electronic iris will be as indicated in table
B.
CAUTION:
•The electronic iris is suitable for normal indoor use. When the
EI/BLC or EI switch is set to the EI-ON or EI position, do not
use an auto-iris lens.
•If used under fluorescent light, the image may flicker and
horizontal lines may appear in the picture. In such a case,
change to incandescent lighting or set the EI/BLC or EI switch to the OFF position and
use an auto-iris lens.
•When shooting bright subjects, pay attention to the light angle in order to avoid or
minimize the smear phenomenon effect.
When using an auto-iris lens (for indoor/outdoor use)
Set the EI/BLC or EI switch to the OFF position.
CAUTION:
If conditions are outside the electronic iris operation range or more than the maximum
illumination, it will cause saturation of the CCD. In that case, use a manual iris lens.

properly for the conditions, set using the LEVEL volume on the
lens.
CAUTION:
The electronic iris function and the backlight compensation function cannot operate
simultaneously.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before taking the camera for repairs, please check below to make sure that the camera is
used correctly. If it still does not perform correctly, please consult your dealer or a Sanyo
Authorized Service Centre.
No picture on the monitor screen
•Is the power turned on to all connected devices? Is the voltage correct?
•Are all the signal connecting cables correctly connected?
•Is the lighting sufficient?
•Has the lens cap been removed?
•Is the lens type (DC or VIDEO) correctly selected?
Depending on the type of lens, the A. I. LENS switch must be set accordingly.
•Is the iris control correctly set?
A: When using a DC type lens, the LEVEL volume (inside the camera casing) should be
adjusted.
B: When using a VIDEO type lens, the LEVEL volume (on the lens) should be adjusted.
The picture is not clear
•Is the monitor correctly adjusted?
•Is the flange-back position correctly set?
•Is the lens focus correctly adjusted?
•Are the lens surfaces clean?
If there is dust or finger prints on the lens, the image quality will deteriorate. To clean the
lens use a soft cloth or a commercially available lens cleaning set.
SERVICE
This camera is a precision instruments and if treated with care, will provide years of
satisfactory performance. However, in the event of a problem, the owner is advised not to
attempt to make repairs or open the cabinet. Servicing should always be referred to your
dealer or Sanyo Authorized Service Centre.
