AXIS 223M - Replacing the lens 59

Replacing the lens

If the lens on the AXIS 223M needs to be replaced or if the camera was supplied without a lens, a new lens can be fitted quickly and easily. As the AXIS 223M is designed with a C-mount, the lens supplied with your product can be replaced with any standard C or CS lens.

Note: Although the lens supplied with your product can be directly replaced with any C-type lens, a CS-type lens must be installed with an adapter for it to work with your AXIS 223M. An adapter effectively moves the lens 5mm closer to the camera.

Removing and attaching the lens

1.Disconnect the power supply to the AXIS 223M.

2.Disconnect the DC-Iris cable.

3.Unscrew the lens by turning it anti-clockwise.

4.CS-lens only: Loosen the stop screw and remove the C-ring. Attach the new lens to the supplied CS-adapter and replace the C-ring.

5.Screw on the new lens until it is tight against the metal ring at the back.

6.Attach the DC-Iris cable to the camera and reconnect the power supply.

7.To focus the new lens, see Setting the focus, on page 9.

8.When the camera lens has been focused, tighten the top screw.

Note: In the unlikely case that the camera images are still blurred after focusing the lens, loosen the screw on the underside of the camera that holds the metal ring in place. Turn the metal ring in small increments until a sharp image is obtained. Tighten the screw on the underside of the camera.
