Precautions for proper use of this product

Storage and Location of Use

Do not install this unit at the following locations.

●Places that are exposed to vapor or oil, such as kitchens.

●Places that exceed the ambient temperature range (-10 I to 50 I).

●Places at which corrosive gases are emitted.

●Places where radiation or X-rays and strong radio waves or magnetism are present.

●Places that are subject to vibration.

Using this unit or cables connected to this unit in places where strong radio waves and magnetic fields are present (e.g. near a radio, TV, transformer or motor) may increase the noises in the image and color changes .

Do not install this unit at a place that is directly exposed to cold air or near the outlet of an air-conditioner. The dome cover may become foggy when there is a drastic change in temperature.

Although this unit is IP66-compliant, water- proof under all kinds of environment is not guaranteed.

Others

This unit comes with a built-in AGC circuit. When the AGC function is turned on, the sensitivity increases automatically at a dark place and the screen may appear grainy. This is not a malfunction.

When using the Automatic Tracking White balance (ATW) mode, the color tone may differ slightly from the actual color. This slight color variation is caused by the principle of Auto Tracking White balance circuit and is not a camera malfunction.

When shooting an object with high brightness (lamps, etc.), vertical lines may appear in the image on the screen (smear phenomenon) and bleeding may be found around the high brightness object (blooming phenomenon). These are due to the characteristics of the CCD and not malfunctions.

Turning AONB DAY & NIGHT function switches the image to black-and-white in a dark place. When switching between colored and black-and-white images, the bright portions of the screen are enhanced and the clarity of the screen may deteriorate. Overall the sensitivity increases in the case of black- and-white images, therefore the scene may appear grainy and white spots may become visible. This is not a malfunction.

When the power source voltage drops (such as during lightning or upon turning on the air- conditioner) distortion or noise may occur in the image.

When this unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, dew condensation may occur, which may result in camera malfunctioning. In this case, leave this unit at room temperature for about 1 hour before turning on the power.

The rotation angle of this unit has been enlarged to enable installation at a wide variety of locations. When the zoom function of the lens is set to Wide and the tilt angle set close to ±70°, a portion of this unit may be visible on the shooting screen depending on the rotation angle.

When this occurs, adjust the angle of view accordingly. (A Pg. 25)

To prevent fogging due to changes in temperature, make sure to insert the supplied silica gel into the designated location.

(A Pg. 24)

When the supply voltage of the camera is low, the input protection circuit within the camera may be triggered and the power of the camera may turn off automatically. Make sure to use a power supply and voltage for the camera that is within -10 % of the rated voltage.

All Interconnecting Equipment must be UL Listed.

Upon switching between the HOME and ALARM positions, the camera focus may change slightly after the zoom operation comes to a stop. This is due to the built-in lens performance and is not a malfunction. (TK-C215VP12U/E only)
