HOW TO USE

1. Adjust the iris and focus of the lens so that optimum image may be obtained.

CS-mount

*Usable lenses

Lens 4mm or less

CS-mount lenses, whose length "L" (in the illustration) from the bearing surface of the mount is 4mm or less if protruded, should be used.

L

Note: Adjustment of the lens back-focus.

Camera Lens

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.

Focusing dial

Adjust the lens back-focus by turning the focusing dial in either direction as per the illustration, referring to the following instructions.

1 Place an object at any fixed distance and set the focus ring of the zoom lens accordingly.
2 Set the zoom lens to full TELE position and obtain the best focus position by turning the focus ring or the zoom lens.
3 Set the zoom lens to full WIDE position and obtain the best focus position by turning the focusing dial located on the side of the camera.
4 Repeat procedures and until focus remains constant throughout the zooming range.

Note: When weight of the lens is more than 1kg (2.2lbs), the camera should be supported by the lens rather than relying on camera mounting screw.

Adjust the back-focus only when necessary.

* Using an auto iris lens

When a DC driven type auto iris lens is used, set the IRIS switch at DC, and connect the plug of the lens to the IRIS terminal at the side of the camera.

When a video feedback type auto iris lens is used, set the IRIS switch at VIDEO and connect the plug from the lens to the IRIS terminal at the side of the camera. (Refer to the lens manual for the level adjustment.)

IRIS terminal

		DC position	VIDEO position
	1	Control -	+9V iris power (50mA Max.)
	2	Control +	GND
	3	Drive +	0.7Vp-p auto iris video signal
Plug for IRIS terminal(CHUOMUSEN E4-191J-150)	Soldering side	4 Drive - (GND)	GND

*When a video feedback type auto iris lens (peak/average selectable type) is used at peak mode, the BLC feature of the camera may not function correctly. In such a case, change the mode to average

1. 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 that is not a defect of the camera.
   *For C-mount lens, use an optional 5mm ring between the lens and camera.

CAMERA CONTROLS

① FLICKERLESS switch(Set at OFF position from the factory)

When this switch is turned ON, the shutter speed is set to 1/100 second. It is effective in reducing the light intensity.

Caution:

When this switch is turned ON, AES does not operate.

② SENS-UP switch(Set at OFF position from the factory)

Turn ON this switch to raise the sensitivity.

③ 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.

④INT/LL switch(Set at LL position from the factory)

• INT. (internal) control switch

When the internal synchronization is used, set the switch to the INT side.

• L.L. (Line-lock) control switch

Matching the vertical synchronization with the power frequency is called the line-lock.

When two or more cameras are switched by the video switcher to 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. Line-Lock is operative only when the AC 24V power supply is connected.

Caution:

1. The camera is synchronized to the power frequency of 60Hz :5Hz covering a normal fluctuation of the power frequency.
   The camera may not compensate for large fluctuation caused by power generated by an engine generator, etc.
2. 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.
3. When DC12V power supply is used, set the switch to the INT side.

⑤ 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 and set the white balance switches as follows.

White balance (WB): According to the combination of the switches 1 and 2, the following adjustments are available:

1	2
L	L	ATW
L	H	* Manual (Shift change)
H	L	Manual (Fixed 3200k)
H	H	Manual (Fixed 4200k)

*: Can be adjusted by the PUSH switch.

⑥ IRIS switch

When a DC driven type auto iris lens is used, set this switch to DC position. When a video feedback type auto iris lens is used, set this switch to VIDEO position.

⑦ ALC LEVEL

Adjust video output level, when IRIS switch is DC position.

⑧ AES switch (Automatic Electronic Shutter)

By setting the AES switch, Automatic Electronic Shutter mode (1/60\~1/100,000 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.

⑨ PUSH button

• Vertical sync. phase adjustment

Vertical sync. phase adjusting is set at the position fully that the delay time of vertical sync. phase against the phase of power frequency is shortest, when shipped from the factory.

Select this ⑨p () and down () button will make the delay time of vertical sync. phase against the phase of power frequency longer.

Use the push button ④ 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 ⑨ 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)

- Manual white balance selector

When the white balance selector is set to MANU (shift change) in 4 above, the white balance can be adjusted by using the PUSH switch. This mode will prove effective under shooting conditions with little variation in color temperature.

*When the white balance selector is set to MANU (shift change), the vertical sync. phase can not be adjusted.

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. This may cause camera to malfunction.

*Do not touch internal parts. Be sure not to touch the internal parts. This may cause to electrical shock.

*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 noise occurs, relocate cables or reinstall equipment.

*Check the ambient temperature and humidity. Avoid using camera in areas where temperature is consistently hotter or colder than the specified range (See Specifications chart below) or poor image quality or damaged parts may occur. Precautions should also be taken to avoid areas of 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. Failure to do so may cause damage to the camera.

*The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.
