All guarantee claims are invalid in the event of damage caused by non-compliance with these operating instructions. We cannot be held liable for resulting damages.

In the event of material or personal damage caused by improper operation or non-compliance with the safety notes, we cannot be held liable. All guarantee claims are invalid in such cases.

Dear customer,

The following safety information and hazard notes are not only intended to protect your health, but also to protect the device from damage. Please read the following points carefully:

• There are no components inside the product that require servicing by the operator. Opening or dismantling the product invalidates the CE certification and guarantee claims / warranty.
• The product can be damaged if it is dropped, even from a low height.

Avoid the following adverse conditions during operation:

• Moisture or excess humidity
• Extreme heat or cold
• Direct sunlight
• Dust or flammable gases, vapors, or solvents
  • Strong vibrations
  • Strong magnetic fields (e.g. next to machines or loudspeakers)
• The camera must not be directed toward the sun when the aperture is open.

This can destroy the sensor.

- The camera must not be installed on unstable surfaces

General safety information:

• Do not leave packaging material lying around. Plastic bags, sheeting, polystyrene packaging, etc., can pose a danger to children if played with.
• The surveillance camera contains small parts which could be swallowed, and should be kept out of reach of children for safety reasons.
• Do not insert any objects into the device through the openings.
• Only use replacement devices and accessories that are approved by the manufacturer. Do not connect any non-compatible products.
• Please pay attention to the safety information and operating instructions for the other connected devices.
• Check the device for damage before commissioning. Do not put the device into operation if you detect any damage.
• Adhere to the operating voltage limits specified in the technical data. Higher voltages could destroy the device and pose a health risk (electric shock).

When installing the device in an existing video surveillance system, ensure that all devices are disconnected from the mains power supply and low-voltage circuit.

If in doubt, have a specialist technician carry out assembly, installation and connection of the device. Improper or unprofessional work on the power supply system or domestic installation puts both you and other persons at risk.

Connect the installations so that the power supply circuit and low-voltage circuit always run separately from each other. They should not be connected at any point or be able to become connected as a result of a malfunction.

5.2 Unpacking the device

Handle the device with extreme care when unpacking it.

If the original packaging has been damaged, inspect the device. If the device shows signs of damage, then return it in the original packaging and contact the delivery service.

6. Installation

6.1 Power supply

Before starting installation, ensure that the power supply system voltage and the rated voltage of the camera are identical.

TVHD50000

TVHD50500

(1) TVHD50000 is equipped with a 12 V DC/24 V AC power supply. If you use a DC power supply, the polarity is not important.
In order to connect a plug-in power supply unit (DC connection 5.5 mm x 2.1 mm) to the camera, the adapter included with the camera must first be installed. The pins are inserted and the cable ends are inserted into the clamps.

(2) TVHD50500 is equipped with a 110 - 240 V AC power supply (pre-installed cable).

6.2 Mounting a lens

The camera is intended for use with CS-mount lenses. A C-mount lens can be mounted using the lens adapter ring included.

Before mounting a C-mount lens, ensure that the adapter ring is in place on the camera.

Otherwise, the CMOS image sensor can be damaged.

For lenses with a DC aperture, the connection for the lens cable is located on the right side of the camera. The camera automatically detects the lens type. For optimal image quality, a lens with a DC light adjustment aperture is recommended.

The back focus setting on the camera can also be used to precisely set the focus. A fixing screw for the back focus ring is located on the side of the camera.

6.3 Installing the video cable

In order to transmit the video signal from the HD-SDI camera to an HD-SDI converter, monitor or recorder, an RG6 coaxial cable of type RG59 with BNC plug (male) must be connected to the "Video OUT" connection. The cable length to the next device may not exceed 80 meters (RG59) or 150 meters (RG6). To increase the range, you can install suitable signal HD-SDI repeaters.

6.4 Installing the camera

For installation, the included base can be attached to the upper or lower side of the camera. The plate is then aligned to the pre-defined screw openings and fastened with the screws provided.

IMPORTANT!

The camera must be disconnected from the power supply during installation.

CAUTION!

The camera must not be directed toward the sun when the aperture is open as this can destroy the CCD element.
