3. Connect the camera to the network using a shielded network cable.

- PoE (Power over Ethernet). PoE is automatically detected when the network
cable is connected.
- Connect an external power adapter to the power connector block. For wiring
information, see page 15.
5. Check that the indicator LEDs indicate the correct conditions, see LED Indicators on

Adjust Focus

To adjust the zoom and focus follow these instructions:
Note
• Set the focus as precise as possible with the focus puller or Focus Assistant before starting
automatic fine tuning. Using the focus puller normally gives the best result.
• The iris should always be opened to its maximum while focusing. This gives the smallest
depth of field and thus the best conditions for correct focusing.
1. Open the product's home page and go to Setup > Basic Setup > Focus.
2. Under the Basic tab, click Open iris. If the button is inactive the iris is already open.
3. If focus has been set before, click Reset to reset the back focus.
4. Loosen the zoom and focus pullers (see Hardware Overview on page 10) on the lens by
turning them counter-clockwise. Move the pullers to set zoom and focus and check the
quality of the image in the image window.
If the camera is mounted so that one cannot look at the image and move the pullers at
the same time, use the Focus Assistant instead.
5. Re-tighten the zoom and focus pullers.
6. On the Focus page, click Fine-tune focus automatically and wait until automatic fine
tuning is completed.
7. Click Enable iris. If the button is inactive the iris is already enabled.
8. If needed, make further adjustments under the Advanced tab. See the online help for
more information.
