1. Focal Length Adjustment Ring

Use this ring to adjust the appropriate focal length according to the type of lens. Rotate the ring clockwise for the CS-mount lens, rotate it counterclockwise for the C-mount lens. The factory setting is CS-mount.

2. Lens Mount

To mount an appropriate C-mount or CS-mount lens.

3. Locking Screw

Use the locking screw to fix the focal length.

4. Lens Connector (4 pin socket)

To connect to the lens plug of the auto iris lens.

5. Control Switches

There are 6 control switches located on the sideboard, which are for the setting of the special features. The switches in orders are for Flickerless, Back Light Compensation, Electronic Shutter, Automatic Gain Control, Line-Lock and Auto Iris Lens type.

Fluorescent ON/OFF

This is a compensation function for against the images flicker fiercely during fluorescent light condition. Shooting the images in fluorescent light by using turn on the Fluorescent function, the default setting is Off.

BLC (Back Light Compensation) ON/OFF

When BLC is turned on, the AGC, ES and IRIS operating point is determined by averaging over the center area instead of entire field-of-view, so that a dimly-lit foreground object at center area can be clearly distinguished from brightly-lit backgrounds.

BLC should not be used unless it is needed to compensate for back-lit. The default

setting is OFF.

ES (Electronic Shutter) OFF/ON

ES ON: The camera continuously adjusts the shutter speed from 1/60 (NTSC), 1/50 (PAL) second to 1/100,000 second according to the luminance conditions of the scene.

ES OFF: The shutter speed is fixed at 1/60 (NTSC), 1/50 (PAL) second.

Set ES OFF, when auto iris lens is used or flicker is observed under a very bright fluorescent lamp. Otherwise, turn ES on for optimum performance. The default setting is ON.

AGC (Automatic Gain Control) OFF/ON

AGC ON: The sensitivity increases automatically when light is low.

AGC OFF: A-low-noise picture is obtained under a low light condition.

The default setting is ON.

LL (Line-Lock) OFF/ON

To select the sync mode between Internal Sync.(LL off) and Line-Lock (LL on).

Set the line-lock off, the camera will synchronize to the internal time base. Set the line-lock on, the camera's vertical synchronization can be driven by the AC signal in the power lines.

Note: The cameras feature AC line lock for external synchronization, using the AC power frequency (60Hz) is possible but not available in using DC or other operation power such as NTSC in 50Hz or PAL in 60Hz power system.

VD/DD (Auto Iris lens Type)

For video drive auto iris lens, please set switch to VD. For direct drive iris lens, set switch to DD. The default setting is DD. Wire the cable of lens to lens connector according to the following table.

P i n 1 Pin2 Pin3 Pin4 Lens Conn Video Drive +12V GND VD-IRIS GND 1 3 6 2 4

6. IRIS Level Control

Brightness Level can be adjusted from the IRIS level VR while using the direct drive lens.

Turn counterclockwise to L to get darker picture.

Turn clockwise to H to get brighter picture.

7. V-Phase Adjustment Screw

The vertical phase may require adjustment to synchronize the vertical phase of the camera with other camera in the system when it is to be used in the line-lock sync mode. Make the adjustment when the vertical phase of the camera does not match with other cameras.

8. Mounting Base and Fixing Screws

To use when the mounting bracket is required while mounting the camera. The mounting base can be attached to either the top or the bottom of the camera, fix the mounting base onto the camera by using the 4 supplied fixing screws.

9. Video Output Connector

BNC VBS 1.0 Vp-p, 75ohm

10. Power Cable (EQ series)

11. 12VDC/24VAC Screw Terminals (EQ series "A")

12. Audio Output (optional)

Connect with an audio device, RCA connector

INSTALLATION

1. Remove the cover cap from the top of the lens mount.
2. To attach a C-mount/CS-mount lens, turn the focal length adjustment ring to the appropriate position.
   Note: If a C-mount lens is used, please make sure the focal length adjustment ring is set at C position before fixing the lens.
3. Screw the lens firmly onto the lens mount. Insert the lens plug in the lens connector if the auto iris lens is used.
4. Tighten the locking screw.
5. Connect the video output of the camera to a color monitor or other video device through a 75 ohm type coaxial cable with BNC female connector.
6. Plug the power cord to the outlet.
7. Once the image appears on the monitor, adjust the focus and diaphragm of the lens to obtain the best picture.
8. If the subject is not in focus when adjusting focus of lens, do focal length adjustment as following:
   i. Loosen the locking screw of the focal length adjustment ring.
   ii. Take picture of subject at a distance more than 20m away from the camera.
   iii. Rotate the focal length adjustment ring to bring the subject in focus.
   iv. Tighten the locking screw while the adjustment is completed.
