Installation
Warning
• Do not leave the lens facing the sun.
The sunlight will focus inside the camera and might
cause a fire.
• When installing the camera, make sure there is space
between the camera and the surface, such as the ceiling,
etc., where the camera is installed. If there is no space
between the camera and the surface, the temperature
inside gets high and may lead to failure or accident.
• Make sure to attach the supplied wire rope to prevent
accidents due to falling.
• Attach the lens in the exact way described in this
document. Loose attachment may lead to injury due to
the lens falling off.
• Check that the attachment is not loose at least once a
year. Perform more frequent checks depending on the
usage.
• Full performance may not be achieved depending on the
installed circumstance or lens. Please contact Sony for
details.
Mounting the lens
Mounting/removing of the lens should be performed after
turning the camera “OFF”.
1 Remove the body cap from the camera and the lens
rear cap from the lens.
• Perform this operation in a non-dusty place in a
quick manner to prevent dust from getting into the
camera.
• Remove the lens front cap on the front side of the
lens when you shoot.
2 Align the white dots on the lens and camera, then
attach.
• Face the mount downward, to prevent dust from
getting in.
3 Push the lens against the camera lightly then rotate it
in the direction of the arrow until it clicks.
• Do not insert the lens at a tilted angle.
Notes
• When you mount the lens, do not press the Lens release
button.
• Do not apply excessive force on the lens.
• Securely hold both the camera and lens when you carry
the camera with lens mounted.
• Do not hold the camera by holding the lens part when it
is protruding when zooming or focusing.
• Zoom lens use
Zoom position may be changed depending on the
installation circumstances.
Make sure to fix it by applying tape on the zoom ring.
Recommended tape: 3M Scotch®plastic film tape
Model No. 471 BLA 50 equivalents

To remove the lens
1 Rotate the lens in the direction of the arrow until it
stops while pressing the Lens release button, then
remove.
2 Mount the body cap on the camera, and the cap on the
front and back of the lens.
• Mount the cap after removing dust.
Notes on lens exchange
If dust get into the camera and is stuck to the surface of the
image sensor (a part to convert the light to electrical
signals) upon the lens exchange, the dust may appear in the
image.
Mount/remove the lens at a location with little or no dust
in a quick manner.
Mounting the wire rope
Make sure to attach the supplied wire rope to prevent
falling accidents when you install the camera on the ceiling
or at substantial heights.
Attach the wire rope with supplied mounting screws
(illustrated in below) to the wire rope mounting screw
holes on the rear side of the camera.
Note
When you mount the wire rope, be careful when wiring to
prevent wire rope from short circuiting with a power
source terminal or cable.
1 Mount the wire rope to the junction box on the ceiling.
Use screws which fit the screw holes on the junction
box (not supplied).
2 Mount the wire rope with the supplied wire rope
mounting screws to the wire rope mounting screw
holes on the camera.
Warning
Use the supplied screws for mounting. Otherwise, the wire
rope may not function effectively.
Adjustment of shooting area and
focus
Determine the shooting area by adjusting the view angle
and focus while reviewing the image.
Adjust the view angle following the operating instructions
of the mounted lens.
Adjust the focus with SNC toolbox or SNC toolbox
mobile.
Adjustment by using SNC toolbox mobile
You can adjust the view angle easily by installing SNC
toolbox mobile on your smartphone or tablet.
If you insert IFU-WLM3 (sold separately), select the SSID
shown below under Wi-Fi settings on your smartphone.
SNC-[Mac address of IFU-WLM3]
Example:

• Use the power insulated from the AC 100V for DC 12 V
or AC 24 V. The power usage range for each power
supply is shown below. (warranty scope of the power
received on the camera, voltage at receiving end)
DC 12 V: 9 V to 15 V
AC 24 V: 19.2 V to 28.8 V
• Use UL cable (VW-1 style 10368) for wiring for
DC 12 V or AC 24 V.
•Recommended power cable
Voltage at receiving end on the camera is DC 12 V
Voltage at receiving end on the camera is AC 24 V
