up to the following ambient temperature: -40°C.
To protect the product against possible failures or
malfunction of the internal components, do not use it
at ambient temperatures other than those indicated:
from -40°C up to -60°C.
Do not turn on the unit when the ambient
temperature is lower than indicated: -40°C.
The unit is switched on by connecting the power
supply.
To switch off the unit disconnect the power.
5.1 First start-up
Make sure that the unit and other

activates the compensation mode for contre-
jour view.
• Auto Slowshutter: The parameter decreases the
exposure variation speed (option recommended
when there are hotspots on the scene for short
periods).
• Gain limit: The parameter improves visibility of
the subject in dark surroundings.
• Exposure compensation: The parameter
enables correction of the scene brightness value
(Compensation value).
• Infrared: It enables manual (Manual) or automatic
(Auto) control of the IR filter. In Auto mode, you
can set the activation and disabling value of the IR
filter (Day threshold=the lower the value the lesser
the quantity of light requested to pass from B/W to
colour mode.).
