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 (18db ~ 30db)

•Pedestal level adjustment (0~9 IRE)

•Predefined BLC fields (6)

•Sharpness (low/mid/high)

•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.
