MANUAL IRIS LENS ADJUSTMENT A manual iris lens is used in indoor applications where lighting from windows can considerably affect the light level of the room. When using the manual iris lens, perform the following: Set the E/I switch to ON. Turn the iris ring on the lens to the fully OPEN position.
Page 18
Open Voltage + / Red Video / White Ground / Black Plug the connector into the auto-iris lens jack on the top of the camera. The connector is keyed and can only be inserted into the jack one way. Make sure that the E/I switch located on the back of the camera is set to OFF and the A/I switch is set to Video.
Set the backfocus of the camera before the final adjustment of the video level. See section 3.6 for further instructions. If the auto-iris has a gain adjustment: • If the lens oscillates between open and closed under bright lights, slowly turn the gain adjustment counter-clockwise until the oscillating stops.
BACKFOCUS ADJUSTMENT Although the camera lens was backfocused by the manufacturer prior to shipping, it may be necessary to make modifications. For best results, perform backfocus adjustments at night or while using a #6 or #8 welder’s glass in front of the lens. The focus of the camera will change slightly if the camera iris was adjusted on a light scene and then changes to a dark scene.
ZOOM LENS BACKFOCUS ADJUSTMENT The objective of backfocusing a zoom lens is similar to that of a fixed focal length camera, except that the backfocus is also adjusted to maintain the focus when “zooming” the lens in and out of a scene. For zoom lens backfocus adjustment, perform the following: Choose an object at the farthest range that you wish to look at with a zoom lens.
