Installing the camera

Step 1: Connecting the cables
(a) Using the side conduit hole
1. Loosen the conduit hole plug screw ( 19 ) on the side
conduit hole. Remove the plug.
2. Connect the BNC cable ( 14 ) to the video connector
( 11 ).
3. Connect the power supply cable ( 15 ) to the power
connector ( 12 ).
You can use 24 V AC or 12 V DC connection.
Caution
If using a DC supply, make sure the polarity is correct.
Incorrect connection may cause malfunction and/or
damage to the video camera.
4. Clean the thread grooves in the bottom conduit hole
and install the removed plug firmly into the bottom
conduit hole to prevent moisture from getting inside
the casing.
(b) Using the bottom conduit hole
The BNC cable and power cable are installed through the
bottom conduit hole (Factory setting). Connect the cables
to the respective connectors ( 14 )( 15 ).
Step 2: Mounting the camera
1. Place the template on the mounting surface and mark
the holes.
2. Drill two holes as marked.
3. Insert the wall plugs into the holes.
4. Fasten the unit with the screws provided.
Caution
To ensure weatherproof rating, prior to fastening the
unit the base of the dome should be completely
sealed with a waterproof silicon to avoid water to
penetrate.
Be careful when installing the pipe /plug in the conduit
hole; the screw part of the pipe /plug must be 12 mm
or less so that it will not damage the inside unit.
Step 3: Adjusting the camera position
1. Hold the lens so that it does not rotate.
2. Loosen the locking ring ( 16 ) and panning adjustment
wheel ( 17 ).
Caution
Do not loosen the locking ring without holding the lens
in place. Otherwise the lens may rotate with the
locking ring and the cable may twist.
3. Turn the lens and axial ring ( 18 ) in the desired direction.
Note
If the camera does not rotate smoothly, loosen the
locking ring completely. The locking ring has an
internal stop and will not come off.
Caution
Do not turn the lens more than 360°, as this may
cause internal cables to disconnect or break.
4. Lightly tighten the locking ring ( 16 ) and panning
adjustment wheel ( 17 )
Step 4: Adjusting zoom and focus
1. Loosen the zoom lever/locking screw ( 4 ) by turning it
counter-clockwise.
2. Rotate the zoom ring to achieve the desired picture.
3. Loosen the focus lever/locking screw ( 5 ) by turning it
counter-clockwise.
4. Rotate the focus ring to adjust the focus.
5. If readjustment is necessary, repeat the steps above.
6. Retighten the zoom lever/locking screw ( 4 ) and the
focus lever/locking screw ( 5 ).
Caution
Retighten the locking screws to prevent loss of
adjustment.
7. Hold the lens and tighten the locking ring ( 16 ) and
panning adjustment wheel ( 17 ).
Optional settings
Adjust the brightness of the picture using the Iris
LEVEL screw ( 6 ):
L = low, makes the picture darker
H = high, makes the picture brighter
Adjust the phase difference between cameras (use V
Phase adjustment screw ( 7 ).
Set DIP switches ( 8 ) to activate or deactivate the
following features:
Backlight compensation (BLC)
Automatic gain control (AGC).
Line lock (LL).
Sets camera synchronisation to internal (OFF) or line lock
(ON). Line lock is only available with 24 V AC.
The DC / AES DIP switch is not in use, and is always
set to DC position.
Step 5: Remote PC connection
This camera is equipped with the latest DSP technology.
The remote software kit allows remote access and further
enhances the camera's usability and functionality.
Please install the remote software onto you PC in
accordance with the "readme" file on the CD.
Note
Please read the camera's parameters and save them to a file
prior to performing any other adjustments. During this process,
the picture may flicker or distort. This is normal during this
operation and the picture will return to normal once completed.
Additional camera functions include
Linear AGC gain control (ON: 22dB ~ 30dB;
OFF: 16dB ~ 24dB)
Pedestal level adjustment (0~9 IRE)
Predefined BLC fields (6)
Sharpness (low/mid/high)
Day/Night transition level (adjustable)
Image Option (negative/monochrome)
Read camera parameters
Write to camera memory
Restore factory default settings
Save and reload parameters from file
Step 6: Attaching the dome to the unit
Note
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the dome cover clean
and remove fingerprints.
1. Clean the joint surfaces of the unit.
2. Place the dome on the unit (see figure C ).
3. Match the screws on the dome casing ( 3 ) to the
screw holes (3 locations) on the unit casing ( 2 ).
4. Holding the dome casing to maintain the matched
positions, tighten the three screws ( 20 ) with the
screwdriver ( 21 ) and lock the dome casing to the unit
casing.

General guidelines

Operation and storage
Avoid filming very bright objects (such as light fittings)
for an extended period.
Do not operate or store the unit in the following
locations:
Extremely hot or cold places.
Close to sources of strong magnetism.
Close to sources of powerful electromagnetic
radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters.
In humid or excessively dusty places.
Where exposed to mechanical vibrations.
Close to fluorescent lamps or objects reflecting
light.
Under unstable or flickering light sources.
Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints or dust
from the dome.
If the dome is very dirty, use a small amount of mild
detergent on a damp cloth for cleaning. Ensure the
dome is dry before attaching the dome to the unit.
Caution
Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene
or thinners. These solvents may damage the surface.
Transportation
Use the original packing material or materials of equal quality.

CCD characteristics

The following conditions may be observed when using a
CCD camera. These are inherent in the design and do
not stem from any fault in the camera itself.
Vertical smear: This phenomenon occurs when
viewing a very bright object.
Patterned noise: This is a fixed pattern which may
appear over the entire monitor screen when the
camera is operated at a high temperature.
Jagged picture: When viewing stripes, straight lines,
or similar patterns, the image on the screen may
appear jagged.
