5. CONNECTIONS AND OPERATIONS

Notes on connecting

• Power plugs of connected equipment must be disconnected before camera installation.
• A 75-ohm coaxial cable with connector (3C-2V or 5C-2V) is required for standard connection.
• F or details of wiring and operation of equipment to be connected, refer to their operation manuals.
• Lens, power supply with cable, connectors and coaxial cable are not supplied with the camera.

5-1. Basic connection Single system configuration

CAUTION: Never input 24V AC and 12V DC at the same time.

Do not overload power supply

The recommended power supplies for this camera are 6 watt minimum for each 24V AC UL Listed Class 2 power supply or 12V DC power supply.

5-2. Line-Lock Control

- Matching the vertical synchronization with the power frequency is called the Line-Lock.

- This function is activated when the LL switch is set to ON.

- When two or more cameras are switched by the video switcher for viewing by a monitor TV, the vertical sync. phase can be locked to the power frequency, and a stable vertical sync. is obtained without being disturbed at the time of switching.

    C["CAMERA2"] --> B
    B --> D["MONITOR TV"]
    D --> E["TO 24V AC UL Listed Class 2 power supply"]

Note:

• The camera is synchronized to the power frequency of 60 ± 1 Hz covering a normal fluctuation of the power frequency. However, the camera may not cover a large fluctuation caused from the power generated by an engine generator, etc.
• It takes about 10 seconds or more until a stable synchronization is obtained after the power is turned on. This is normal, because several seconds are required to stabilize the camera against power noise.
  • Refer to '7. LINE-LOCK PHASE" for adjustment.

5-3. Operation

1. Mount the lens to the camera.
2. Mount the camera to the camera mount.

Caution: If the lens weight is more than 2.2 lbs (1 kg) mount the lens to the camera mount. Refer to section 6 for lens types and connection.

1. Connect the cables and support equipment to obtain a picture.
2. Adjust the lens aperture (if applicable).

6. LENS

Back-Focus Adjustment

Back-Focus is adjusted at the factory to accommodate most standard lenses.
Sometimes, slight adjustment to the camera back-focus is necessary.
Loosen the Focus Lock Screw. Achieve a clear image by rotating the focus ring.
Tighten the Focus Lock Screw.

Auto-iris Lens

This camera supports two types of auto-iris lens: Video and DC (direct drive) types. Connect the auto-iris connector plug to the IRIS terminal on the side of the camera. Refer to the chart below for correct wiring and set up.

		Video IRIS Direct Drive Lens IRIS Lens
IRIS terminal pin	1	+12V Damp - (y)
	2	N C Damp + (y)
	3	VIDEO Driver + (wh)
	4	GND Driver - (g)
IRIS Switch VIDEO position DC position

7. LINE-LOCK PHASE

If two or more cameras within a system have different AC line phases are switched by the video switcher, the picture on the monitor TV will fluctuate vertically.

Connect 24V AC input lines of all cameras so that they all share the same phase.

If you still have vertical fluctuation, adjust the V.PHASE controller.

V. PHASE CONTROLLER

Note:

• Refer to "5-2. Line-Lock Control".

8. AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC SHUTTER (AES)

Exposure time is controlled automatically within a range of 1/60 sec. to 1/100000 sec. to obtain an adequate signal when the IRIS switch is moved to AES.

When the back panel switch is turned to VIDEO or DC, the exposure time is fixed 1/60 sec.

9. BACKLIGHT COMPENSATION (BLC)

To activate backlight compensation, set the BLC switch to ON.

When the automatic electronic iris feature is used with an auto iris lens, the exposure adjustment is automatically performed so that a best picture is obtained at a monitor zone of about 50% in horizontal and about 50% in vertical direction.

This function is effective when a strong light enters the portion other than this zone and auto iris lens closes and darkens the area to view.

10. NOTES ON USE AND INSTALLATION

• Do not aim the camera at the sun
Never aim the camera at the sun even with the camera power off.
- Do not shoot intense light
Intense light such as a spotlight may cause a bloom or smear. A vertical stripe may appear on the screen. However, this is not a malfunction.
• Treat the camera with care
Do not drop the camera or subject it to intense vibration.
- Never touch internal parts
Do not touch the internal parts of the camera other than the parts specified.
- Do not splash water on the camera
Install the camera where the camera can be kept dry. If the camera gets wet, turn off the power and contact your dealer.
- Keep the camera installation away from video noise
If cables are wired near electric lighting wires or a TV set, noise may appear in images. In this event, relocate cables or reinstall equipment.
• Check the ambient temperature and humidity
Avoid using the camera where the temperature is hotter or colder than the specified operating range. Doing so could affect the internal parts or cause the image quality to deteriorate. Special care is required to use the camera at high temperature and humidity.
• Should you notice any trouble
If any trouble occurs while you are using the camera, turn off the power and contact your dealer. If you continue to use the camera when there is something wrong with it, the trouble may get much worse and an unpredictable problem may occur.
