General Information
Safety Precautions
Read these instructions carefully before commissioning the camera in order to
avoid damages caused by improper installation or use.
Installation may only be carried out by authorised personnel according to the local
safety regulations.
Operate the camera with the designated voltage only.
Follow the safety instructions attached to the camera.
Never use the camera for other purposes than designated.
Repairs and adjustments at the camera may only be carried out by authorised
personnel.
In case of ourdoor use you have to install the camera in a suitable weather
protection case incl. heating element.
If any liquid or solid matter should get into the housing, disconnect the camera
from power supply and have it checked by your authorised dealer before re-using
(danger of electronic shock!).
Do not disassemble the camera. To avoid electric shocks, never remove screws or
covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside it. All maintenance may only be
carried out by authorised personnel according to the local safety regulations.

Tips for Camera Location
1.0 To avoid internal overheating:
-never expose the camera to direct sunlight without additional camera housing
-keep sufficient distance to direct heat sources.
2.0 Never install the camera at humid, oily or dusty locations without using an
additional housing. (without additional housing the camera is not suitable for
outdoor use!)
3.0 The camera should be installed out of reach (min. height: 2.30 m)
4.0 Do not aim the camera towards indoor lighting, the windows, the sunlight or the
sky (to get good pictures, camera and light should be aimed towards the object)
5.0 Reduce the picture detail to the
essential parts of the picture and place
the camera as close as possible to the
object (a smaller picture detail
guarantees sharper details).
6.0 Do not aim the camera towards a
window but instead towards the room.
7.0 Outdoors the camera should be
placed as high as possible so that the
horizon does not appear in the picture.
8.0 Avoid peak light as background (also
caused by reflections, e.g. window
panes).

Adjustment of Back Focus
This adjustment should only be carried out, if the lens cannot be focused properly
using the lens focus ring. For such a case proceed as follows:
1 Loosen the Allan head screw with the attached
Allan head key. For large dis
tances, turn the
focus ring of the lens almost (0.5 cm) to the
"endless" limit position. If you need to focus an
object near the camera, turn the fo
cus ring of
the lens to a position 1cm before the "near"
limit position.
2 Use the back focus adjustment screw to adjust the distance between lens and CCD
chip until the picture is in focus. Then fix the Allan head screw using the Allan head
key.
3 Finally, focus the picture using the lens focus ring.
Adjustment of ES-Lenses
To adjust a lens with automatic iris (video driven) to the camera, please proceed as
follows:
1. Turn the level potentiometer (position: ES lenses at the lens) to the max. position
H (turn right). The monitor picture then appears to be too bright.
2. Slowly turn the level potentiometer back until the monitor picture appears to be
perfect and is not too bright anymore. Then turn the potentiometer back to the
right (in direction "H") just a little bit.
3. Check the lens performance by using the camera under different and/or changing
light conditions.

Focusing the Camera Lens
After you have selected the correct picture detail you have to adjust the lens focus.
The focus adjustment needs to be done with the iris fully open, since the camera has
the smallest depth of focus in this position. If the focus adjustment was not done with
the iris completely open, the picture would be sharp during the day but slowly getting
out of focus the more the light disappears. To fully open the lens, use a grey filter in
front of the lens, provided you are using a lens with automatic iris. Adjust the focus
while the iris is fully open using the lens focus ring. Make sure the most important
picture details are in optimum focus (use a service monitor). If it is not possible to
bring the picture into focus, please adjust the back focus of the camera as described
above.
If you intend to use I.R. illumination at a later stage, you must use an I.R. pass filter
together with the grey filter during focus adjustment to ensure that only I.R. light will
get through to the camera chip and the focus adjustment is done according to this
spectrum, only. Attention: I.R. light can only be used in combination with mono
cameras, not colour cameras!
