5. If a CS-mount lens is used, attach the lens directly
on the backfocus ring.
or
If a C-mount lens is used, attach the C-mount ring to
the backfocus ring before attaching the C-mount
lens.
If a video-type auto-iris lens is used, please consult
section 3.4 for installation instructions. If a dc-type

level of the room. When using the manual iris lens,
perform the following:
1. Set the EI switch to ON.
2. Turn the iris ring on the lens to the fully OPEN
position
3. Focus the lens to obtain optimum picture.

3.4 VIDEO-TYPE
AUTO-IRIS LENS
INSTALLATION
AND ADJUSTMENT
The KC2200CN camera supports video-type auto-iris
lenses to adjust for changing light levels. Perform the
following steps to install and adjust a video-type auto-iris
lens.
1. Thread the video-type auto-iris lens onto the lens
mount on the front of the camera.
2. If necessary, solder the lens control wires to the
connector supplied with the camera. Use the
following pin-out and wire color-coding chart as a
guide.
PIN NAME WIRE COLOR
1 Voltage + Red
2 Open --
3 Video White
4 Ground Black
3. Plug the connector into the auto-iris lens jack on the
side of the camera. The connector is keyed and can
only be inserted into the jack one way.
4. Make sure that the EI switch located on the back of
the camera is set to OFF.

5. Apply power to the KC2200CN camera.
6. Adjust the focus ring on the lens for an optimum
picture. If the picture is not visible, set the lens for
proper exposure by adjusting the ALC (automatic
level control) and Level on the lens. The ALC setting
can range between AVG (average) or PK (peak). An
AVG setting is appropriate for most applications.
For ALC adjustments:
AVG To slow the reaction of the lens to
changing light, set the range on the AVG
setting to average the video level from the
camera. Use this when there are bright
spots in the picture, such as lights or glare
from the sun.
PK To increase the speed of the lens reaction
to the changing light, set the lens
adjustment to PK so the lens will adjust to
the brightest or peak object in the video.
Use this setting if you want to see the
brightest object and not the background
objects.
For Level adjustments:
Adjust the Level control for the best picture during
the day. A night adjustment may not provide the
proper setting for controlling the light during the day.
7. Set the backfocus of the camera before the final
adjustment of the video level. See section 3.6 for
further instructions.

8. If the auto-iris has a gain adjustment, perform the
following:
a. If the lens oscillates between open and closed
under bright lights, slowly turn the gain
adjustment counter-clockwise until the oscillating
stops.
b. Increase the light getting to the camera by
adjusting the level control and readjusting the
gain control as necessary.
c. Reset the level control as instructed in step 6.
3.5 DC-TYPE AUTO-IRIS
LENS INSTALLATION
AND ADJUSTMENT
The KC2200CN camera supports dc auto-iris lenses.
Perform the following steps to install and adjust a dc-type
auto-iris lens.
1. Thread the dc iris lens onto the lens mount on the
front of the camera.
2. If using an Ultrak lens, skip to step three.
If using a non-Ultrak lens, use the manufacturer’s
instructions to solder the connector that comes
supplied with the camera to the lens control wires.
The pin-out and wire color-coding for DC-type auto-
iris lenses can vary from one manufacturer to
another.
3. Plug the connector into the dc iris jack on the side of
the camera. The connector is keyed and can only be
inserted into the jack one way.

4. Make sure that the EI switch located on the back of
the camera is set to OFF.
5. Apply power to the KC2200CN camera.
6. Adjust the dc-type auto-iris lens for an optimum
picture using the IRIS LEVEL control on the back of
the camera.
3.6 BACKFOCUS
ADJUSTMENT
Although the camera lens was backfocused by the
manufacturer prior to shipping, it may be necessary to
make modifications.
For best results, perform back focus adjustments at night
or while using a #6 or #8 welder’s glass in front of the
lens. The focus of the camera will change slightly if the
camera iris was adjusted on a light scene and then
changes to a dark scene. However, the camera will
remain in focus if the iris was focused on a dark scene
and the scene lightens.
To make backfocus adjustments, perform the following:
1. After mounting the lens on the camera, apply power.
2. Open the camera iris by turning the lens level control
counterclockwise.
3. If a picture is visible, focus on the scene. Open the
lens as wide as possible by placing a welder’s glass
in front of the lens.
