Notes on Use
Power supply
• The SSC-G813/G803 operates on either AC 24 V (50 Hz) or DC 12 V
power. The SSC-G813/G803 automatically detects the power.
- When connecting the transformer, be sure to connect each lead to the
appropriate terminal. Wrong connection may cause malfunction and/or
damage to the video camera.
- Ground the unit or an irregular voltage may be generated in the AC
power cable and may cause malfunction and/or damage to the video
camera.
• The SSC-G818/G808 must always be operated with an AC 220 V - 240 V
(50 Hz) power supply.
Handing of the unit
Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the unit, or allow combustible
or metallic objects to fall inside the body. If used with a foreign object inside,
the camera is liable to fail, or be a cause of fire or electric shock.
Operation and storage locations
Avoid aiming the camera at very bright objects such as the sun or electric
lights for an extended period. Avoid operating or storing the unit in the
following locations.
• Extremely hot or cold places (operating temperature –10°C to + 50°C
(14°F to 122°F)) We recommend that the unit be used within a
temperature range of 0°C to 35°C (32°F to 95°F).
• Damp or dusty places.
• Where it is exposed to rain.
• Where it is subject to strong vibration and shock.
• Close to generators of powerful electromagnetic radiation such as radio or
TV transmitters.
• Where it is subject to fluorescent light reflections.
• Where it is subject to unstable (flickering, etc.) lighting conditions.
• Where it is subject to moisture.
• Where it is subject to fume and swear.
Care of the unit
• Remove dust or dirt on the surface of the lens or CCD with a blower.
• Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the body. If it is very dirty, use a cloth
dampened with a small quantity of neutral detergent, then wipe dry.
• Avoid using volatile solvents such as thinners, alcohol, benzene, and
insecticides. They may damage the surface finish and/or impair the
operation of the camera.
Other
• When the BLC menu is set to an option other than OFF, "hunting" may
occur, that is, the image may get darker and lighter as the camera "hunts"
for the optimum exposure level. If hunting occurs, set the BLC menu to
OFF.
• If you use the CCD-IRIS function in locations where the camera is
exposed to fluorescent light, a slow color change may occur.
• The focus may be less sharp under near infrared light than under visible
light.
• The best camera performance may not be obtained under near infrared
light due to the lens coating.
In the event of any problems with the operation of the camera, contact your
Sony dealer.
Note on laser beams
Laser beams may damage the CCDs. If you shoot a scene that includes
a laser beam, be careful not to let a laser beam become directed into the
lens of the camera.

Installation
2 WARNING
• If you attach the camera in the height such as the wall or the ceiling,
etc., entrust the installation to an experienced contractor or installer.
• If you install the camera on the ceiling, ensure that the ceiling is strong
enough to withstand the weight (20 Kg) of the camera plus the bracket
and then install the camera securely. If the ceiling is not strong enough,
the camera may fall and cause serious injury.
• To prevent the camera from falling, make sure to attach the supplied
wire rope.
• If you attach the camera to the ceiling, check periodically, at least once
a year, to ensure that the connection has not loosened. If conditions
warrant, make this periodic check more frequently.
Suitable lens
The lens must be a CS-mount type of less than 1 kg. The protrusion behind
the CS mounting surface must be 4 mm or less.
To use a C-mount type lens, use the supplied C-mount adaptor.
Installation of an Auto Iris Lens Connector
Install the lens connector (not supplied) when using an Auto Iris Lens.
This installation should be done only by qualified service personnel or
system installers. A lens connector is not included with this camera package.
1 Cut the iris control cable at the edge of the lens connector to remove the
existing lens connector and then remove the outer cable cover as shown
in the diagram on the left.
2 Solder the lens cable to the pins of the lens connector.
Fitting the lens
1
Unscrew the lens mount cap.
2 Screw in the lens, and turn it until it is secured.
To use a C-mount type lens
Attach the supplied C-mount adaptor before screwing in the lens.
3 Insert the lens plug in the LENS connector.
When fitting a manual-iris lens, skip 3.
4
According to the type of lens, adjust the focal length by turning the focal
length adjustment ring.
Caution
• Keep the lens mount cap on the camera when it is not attached the lens.
• Check the lens mount
Check the lens mount at least once a year to ensure it has not become
loose. If conditions warrant, make this periodic check more frequently.
Installing the camera
ATTENTION
If installing the camera on the ceiling, be sure it is secure. If not
securely installed, the camera may fall and injury may occur.
If the camera is installed on the ceiling using equipment such as a
bracket, housing and motored swivel base (pan/tilt), do the following:
• Use tripod screws and securely tighten them with a driver. Order the
tripod screws (Sony Part No. 3-174-693-02) from your nearest Sony
dealer.
• Install the tripod adapter on a flat surface.
Attaching the fall-prevention wire rope
When you install the camera on a ceiling or a high position, be sure to
attach the supplied fall-prevention wire rope to prevent the camera
from falling.
Attach the fall-prevention wire rope to the screw hole on the rear of the
camera, as in the illustration.
Note
Take care not to short-circuit the power terminal or the cable with the
wire rope when you attach it.
1 Secure the wire rope to the junction box on the ceiling.
Use a screw to match the screw hole of your junction box (not
supplied).
2 Secure the wire rope to the wire rope mounting screw hole on the
rear of the camera using the supplied screw.
Caution
Use the supplied screw for installation. If not, the wire rope may not
function properly.
Connecting the Camera
1 Connect the video cable to the VIDEO OUT connector.
2 Connect the video cable to the VIDEO IN connector of a video
monitor, etc.
3 Connect to the appropriate power source using a power cable.
SSC-G818/G808: to AC 220 V - 240 V (50 Hz) power source
SSC-G813/G803: to a DC 12 V, or an AC 24 V (50 Hz) power
source
Notes
• Be sure to input only the proper voltage to the power terminal of
the camera.
• Be sure to push the power cable all the way in.

PHASE in the SYNC menu.
For operating the menu, see the supplied "Menu Operations" manual.
A
Typical CCD phenomenon
The following phenomena that may appear in images are specific to
CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensors. They do not indicate
malfunctions.
White flecks
Although the CCD image sensors are produced with high-precision
technologies, fine white flecks may be generated on the screen in rare
cases, caused by cosmic rays, etc.
This is related to the principle of CCD image sensors and is not a
malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the following cases:
- when operating at a high environmental temperature
- when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)
- when using the slow shutter
1/4", 20 UNC
Vertical smear
= 4.5 mm - 7 mm
When an extremely bright object, such as a strong spotlight or flashlight, is
(ISO standard) (with the
being shot, vertical tails may be produced on the screen, or the image may
screws fastened)
be distorted.
