4. CONNECTION
4.1 An Example of Standard Connection
4.2 Cautions on Connection
•When connecting or disconnecting the camera cables (for the camera head and
camera control unit), always turn off the power switch of the camera control unit
first. If not, the camera head may be damaged.
•When connecting the camera, always turn off the power of the camera control
unit and any other equipment connected.
1Remove the camera head protection cover and mount a lens (option).
2Connect the camera head and the camera control unit with the camera cable
(option).
3Connect the VIDEO (or S-VIDEO) terminal of the camera control unit to a video
input terminal of a monitor, etc.
4Connect a DC power supply (12V) to the DC IN 12V terminal of the camera control
unit.
•For DC power supply connecting to DC IN 12V terminal, use UL listed and/or CSA
approved ungrounding type AC adaptor with the specifications described below.
Power supply voltage: DC12V ± 0.5V
Current rating: More than 800 mA
Ripple voltage: Less than 50 mV(p-p)

•EE lens
The IRIS extension cable (optional) is usable for the EE lens. Use the connector HR10A-
7P-4P of HIROSE when the IRIS extension cable is selected. For connections, follow the
instruction below.
When the IRIS extension cable is used under
the right condition, the cable automatically
converts to connection for the EE lens in
Table 1. See the Chapter OPTIONS for the IRIS
extension cable.
Notes:
•Current consumption must be 50 mA or less.
•Avoid an incorrect connection or short-circuit.
5. WHEN USING THE CAMERA WITH THE CAMERA UNIT FIXED
The camera control unit can be directly mounted by using M3 screws if the four rubber
feet are removed on bottom of the control unit. When mounting directly as described
above, do not use longer screws. If the screws enter by more than 5 mm from the control
unit mounting surface, they will cause a short-circuit inside the control unit. For details of
screw hole locations, refer to the exterior dimensions of the camera control unit.
