①DIP Switch Functions
(1) Compensating for backlight
ON When backlight is too bright
OFF Normal setting
CAUTION : This can also be adjusted with level volume control 5.
(2) Confirming the iris setting
AE (OFF) When fixed iris lens is installed
ME (ON) When DC autoiris lens is installed
CAUTION : The iris setting is preadjusted as the best condition for
use at time of factory shipment; it shouldn't be necessary to
change settings.
(3) Confirming the white balance
ATW (ON) Use this under light source below 2500K and
over 9500K of Natrium (Sodium) low color
temperature light
AWB (OFF) Use this under light source between 2500K and
9500K of fluorescent lamps or incandescent
light
(4) Setting gain control (AGC)
For adjusting the sensitivity of the camera. Use this setting
for shooting in dark environments.
ON Normal setting
OFF Set this when there is excessive noise
②Second Video OUT Connector (Option)
If installer is setting with portable monitor, this connector is
used. Be sure to terminate the last device at 75 ohms.
③IR LED Connector (Option)
If extra IR LED board is attached, this connector is used.
④Setting Monitor Synchronization
(24VAC adaptor users)
The camera offers V-phase adjustment over 360°. Vertical
sync disturbance may occur when a switcher is used to switch
between multiple cameras connected to one monitor.
To prevent vertical sync disturbance, adjust④. Before making
any adjustment, confirm that the cameras are connected to
the power supply with the same polarity. To make an
adjustment: While observing the video outputs from the
cameras on an oscilloscope, press the first camera's V-phase
pushbutton until vertical sync from all cameras are in phase.
If the first camera's adjustment phase is insufficient,
adjust the second camera's V-phase contol in the
opposite direction until they are in phase.
CAUTION: When using the 12VDC adaptor, sync setting
is set to internal sync.

⑤Adjusting Level Volume
If the entire image is too dark or bright, or the backlight
compensation is not correct even after①is set to "ON",
you need to adjust the level volume.
CCW (Low) Closes the lens iris, making the entire image darker
CW (High) Opens the lens iris, making the entire image brighter
⑥DC Varifocal Connector
This should be used with⑤DC IRIS LENS.
⑦Power Connector
Connect with AC/DC power, board attached inside.
