Installation, Lens Mounting, Wiring AN Auto Iris Lens

Installation

LENS MOUNTING

The C10DN Series camera supports both manual and auto iris lenses, either fixed focal length or varifocal. It also supports both DC and video drive lenses. It automatically senses an auto iris lens as soon as you plug in the connector. The camera has a standard CS mount that can accept a C-mount lens with a PCMA40 lens adapter.

After mounting a DC drive auto iris lens, but before using the camera, perform the DC drive auto iris automatic adjustment procedure (refer to DC Iris Level on page 20). Also perform this procedure each time you change the lens.

WIRING AN AUTO IRIS LENS

Auto iris lenses are controlled through the 4-pin drive connector (type D4-152N). Figure 2 identifies the pin connections for the auto iris lens connector on the side of the camera.

	Pin	DC Drive	Video Drive
	1	Control coil negative (–)	+9 VDC (40 mA maximum)

	2	Control coil positive (+)	+9 VDC (40 mA maximum)

	3	Drive coil positive (+)	AI-Video

LENS CONNECTOR	4	Drive coil negative (–)	GND

MOUNTING THE LENS

To mount the lens onto the camera refer to Figure 3, and then complete the following steps:

1.Make sure the lens will not touch the camera imager when installed.

2.Use clean, compressed air or a clean, dry lens cloth to make sure there is no dust or other foreign matter between the lens and the camera imager.

3.C-mount lens: Screw the adapter onto the lens.

4.Screw the lens onto the lens mount.
