TSN402A : Connect the power cord to AC 120V and turn the power ON.
- Adjust the iris and focus of the lens so that optimum image may be obtained.
* Usable lenses
CS-mount lenses, whose length "L" (in the illustration) from the bearing surface of the mount is 5mm or less if protruded, shall be used.
* Using the zoom lens (adjustment of the back focus)
The camera is set at the standard back focus position when shipped from factory. Depending on types of zoom lenses, however, slight readjustment may be necessary.
Adjust the lens back-focus by turning the focusing knob in either direction as per the illustration, referring to the following instructions.

Camera Lens Focusing knob① Place an object at any fixed distance and set the focus ring of the zoom lens to be used with.
② Set the zoom lens to fully TELE position and obtain the best focus position by turning the focus ring of the zoom lens.
③ Then set the zoom lens to fully WIDE position and obtain the best focus position by turning the focusing knob as well.
④ Repeat the procedures② and③ until focus remains in constant among the zooming range.
Note: When weight of the lens is more than 1kg (2.2lbs), the camera should be supported on the lens rather than to rely on camera mounting screw.
Adjust the back-focus only in case of necessity.

- Before your use of the camera at AES (Automatic Electronic Shutter) mode.
* When using an auto-iris lens, set the AES switch at OFF
(The AES switch is set at OFF when shipped from factory.)
* The AES mode may increase smears on monitors, which is caused by characteristics of CCD and is not defect.
Set the AES switch at OFF in case smears appear excessively.

LINE-LOCK CONTROL (TSN400A/TSN402A)
Matching the vertical synchronization with the power frequency is called the line-lock.
When two or more cameras are switched by the video switcher for monitoring a monitor TV, the vertical sync. phase can be locked with the power frequency, and a stable vertical sync. is obtained without being disturbed at the time of switching

B --> E{To AC 24V power supply (TSN400A)}
B --> F{To AC 120V power supply (TSN402A)}
Caution:
- The camera is synchronized to the power frequency of 60Hz ± 0.5Hz covering a normal fluctuation of the power frequency. The camera may not compensate for large fluctuation caused from the power generated by an engine generator, etc.
- It takes about 10 seconds or more to obtain a stable synchronization after the power is turned on. This is necessary to stabilize the camera against the power noise.
INT./EXT. SYNCHRONOUS CONTROL (TSN401A)
TSN401A is capable of internal/external synchronous controls with automatic change-over.
(a) Internal Synchronous Control

(b) External Synchronous Control by VBS
The internal sync. mode automatically changes to the external sync. mode when the VBS signal from an external control unit is input to 'EXT SYNC' BNC terminal on the back of the camera.

VBS (75 Ω unbalanced)
Limits of frequency deviation
Within ± 50ppm against the NTSC standard system.
(Horizontal frequency approx. 15.7335kHz\~15.7350kHz)
In case of synchronous use of more than two cameras, Horizontal phase and Sub-carrier(SC) phase can be adjusted to match the images from respective cameras, if necessary.
CAMERA CONTROLS
By adjusting the switches/potentiometers provided on the side panel, the control functions are available.
① White balance selector
Manual or Automatic white balance modes are selectable. With the setting at AUTO position, the camera automatically adjusts to the color temperature and adjusts the white balance. The camera is factory-set at AUTO position. For manual adjustment, set to MANU position.
② White balance adjustment potentiometer
With the white balance selector at MANU position, turn the R (Red) and B (Blue) potentiometers to manually obtain a white image on monitor screen.
③ SENS-UP switch
To increase the sensitivity, set this switch to ON position.
④ BLC (Back Light Control) switch
In case the back lighting is too bright to shoot the main object clearly, set this switch to ON position.
⑤ AGC switch (TSN401A only)
In case of necessity, set the AGC switch to ON position.
⑥ AES switch
[Electronic shutter] The camera is factory-set at the AES switch OFF and 1/60 sec. shutter speed.
For shooting fast-moving objects, the various electronic shutter speeds are available by changing per the table mentioned below.
[AES (Automatic Electronic Shutter)] By setting the AES switch to ON, the Automatic Electronic Shutter mode (1/60 \~ 1/10,000 sec) is available.
Note: In electronic shutter mode;
* Sufficient brightness is required.
* The picture will flicker when shooting under the illumination produced by fluorescent lamp.
⑦ SHUTTER switch
With the AES switch at OFF position, the following shutter speeds are available.
| Shutter speed(sec.) | 1/60 | 1/125 | 1/250 | 1/500 | 1/1000 | 1/2000 | 1/4000 | 1/10000 |
| Setting | 1 2 3 | 1 2 3 | 1 2 3 | 1 2 3 | 1 2 3 | 1 2 3 | 1 2 3 | 1 2 3 |
Vertical sync. phase adjustment potentiometer
Vertical sync. phase adjusting potentiometer is set at the position fully counterclockwise that the delay time of vertical sync. phase against the phase of power frequency is shortest, when shipped from the factory.
Turning this potentiometer clockwise will make the delay time of vertical sync. phase against the phase of power frequency longer.
Use the function control potentiometer ⑧ if the picture image on a monitor TV may flow when using the camera in combination with other camera(s) controlled by the Line-Lock synchronization.
In this case, get a proper image by shifting the phase of vertical sync. signal of the camera against that of the other.
If a proper image cannot be obtained even after this adjustment, reset the potentiometer to its original position, and use the function control potentiometer ^⑧ of the other camera to shift the phase of vertical sync. signal of other camera.
Caution: Before making adjustment, make sure that cameras have their power supplies connected with the same polarity. (not 180° apart)
⑨⑩ SC-phase adjustment
When using the TSN401A at external sync. mode, the color phase of video out is adjustable. Set the SC-phase switches ⑨ as follows, and turn the SC-phase potentiometer ⑩ for fine adjustment. The camera is factory-set at 0°.
| SC-PHASE | 0° | 90° | 180° | 270° |
| Setting |
⑪ H-phase adjustment potentiometer
When using the TSN401A at external sync. mode, adjust the H-phase by turning the potentiometer ⑪, observing the waveforms of external sync. signal and camera output video signal.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE AND INSTALLATION
*Never aim the camera at the sun.
Never aim or point the camera at the sun even if you are not shooting.
*Do not shoot intense light.
Strong light such as a spot light on the image plane will cause blooming or smear. When strong light comes into the image plane, vertical stripes may appear on it. However, this does not mean that the camera is defect.
*Take precautions when handling a camera.
Do not drop your camera, or give it a strong shock or vibration, or it will incur a malfunction.
*Do not touch internal parts.
Be sure not to touch the internal parts. That will be cause of accident.
*Do not let the camera get wet.
Install the camera at the place where it will not get wet.
Should it gets wet, turn off the power immediately and contact your dealer.
*Install your camera where no video noise appears.
When camera cables have been laid near electric wires or television receivers, a noise may interfere the image.
If that happened, relocate cables or reinstall equipment.
*Check the ambient temperature and humidity.
Picture quality will be deteriorated or parts inside will become defective in the temperature hotter or colder than that indicates in the specifications.
Therefore avoid using the camera in such circumstances. Precautions shall also be taken when using it in a high humidity.
*Should you notice any trouble.
If any trouble occurs while you are using the camera, turn off the camera and contact your dealer.
If you continue to use the camera when there is something wrong with it, the trouble may become much worse.
*The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
