INTRODUCTION

Features

A new DSP (Digital Signal Processor) features a Extended Dynamic Range (ExDR) and enables to shoot both bright and dark locations.

The use of a new CCD with a SENSE UP (X32) function realized the minimum luminous flux density for subject of 0.6 lx (F1.2, 50%, AGC 20dB) and 0.019 lx (at slow shutter).

A motion detector function detects the motion inside an image and emits alarm signals.

The equipped Y/C terminals and RS- 422A/RS-485 terminals allow intended compatibility with diversified systems.

Electronic zoom

The 10x electronic zoom allows monitoring in far greater detail.

Before starting an important recording, be sure to perform a test recording in order to confirm that a normal recording is possible.

We do not accept liability for the loss of a recording in the case of it becoming impossible to record due to a problem in the video camera, VCR or video tape.

We do not accept liability for any damage to the camera in cases where it is dropped because of bad installation due to failure to observe the installation instructions correctly. Please be careful when installing the camera.

The motion detector is not a feature which prevents theft, fire, etc. Even if an accident should occur resulting in damage, we do not accept any liability.

Operating Precautions

●To save energy, when it is not being used turn the system’s power off.

●This camera has been designed for indoor use. When you use it outdoors, be sure to use a housing or the like.

●Do not install or use the camera in the following places.

•In a place exposed to rain or moisture.

•In a place with vapor or oil soot, for example in a kitchen.

•When the ambient temperature rises above or falls below the acceptable range (from –10°C to 50°C).

•Near a source of radiation, X-rays, strong radio waves or magnetism.

•In a place subject to vibration.

•In a place with excessive dirt.

●If this camera and the cables connected to this camera are used where there are strong electromagnetic waves or where there is magnetism present, for example near a radio or TV transmitter, power transformer or an electric motor, the picture may produce noise and the colours may be affected.

●This camera incorporates an AGC circuit. As a result, when it is used under low light conditions, the camera sensitivity is automatically boosted and the picture may look uneven. However, this is not a malfunction.

●While the AGC is activated, if a transceiver which causes strong electromagnetic wave is at close distance, the picture might suffer from beat.

So please use the camera more than three meters from such transceivers.

●If a high-intensity object (such as a lamp) is shot, the image on the screen may have vertical lines (smear) or blur (blooming) at its periphery. This is a characteristic of the CCD, and is not a defect.

●Observe the following when carrying out camera maintenance.

• Turn the power OFF before proceeding

to carry out maintenance. If it is contaminated seriously, clean the contaminated part with a cloth (or a tissue) which has been soaked in a solution of water and a neutral detergent.

●	The unit is to be powered by a DC 12 V or
	an AC 24 V power supply. (TK-C1480BE)
	The AC 24 V power supply should conform
	to the following: Isolated power supply only
	TK-C1481BEG Connect the power cable
	to the commercial power supply of 230V.
●	Caution for operating the video iris lens.
	If the video iris lens is set to an extremely
	low level, a malfunction – such as the
	hunting phenomenon where the iris opens
	and closes involuntary – can occur.
	In such a case, first set the “LEVEL”
	potentiometer on the lens to the H position
	(iris open), and then adjust it to an optimum
	level.
●	The cable stopper on the terminal block
	can come off sometimes. Therefore, be
	sure to take enough time and fix the cable
	securely.
●	When a highly bright subject is shot,
	sometimes undulations can be observed
	on the vertical lines of the subject.
	However, this phenomenon is peculiar to
	the unit and is not a sign of malfunction.

Characters and symbols used in this instruction manual.
CAUTION	:	Cautionary notes concerning operation of the unit.
MEMO	:	Reference such as restrictions of features, etc.

●	When this camera is used in the ATW
	mode, the recorded colours may be slightly
	different from the actual colours due to the
	operational principles of the auto-tracking
	white balance circuit. However, this is not
	a malfunction.

●	The beat may sometimes appear on the
	screen if gain is raised when the line lock
	is in use, but the phenomenon takes place
	due to the fluctuation of power frequency
	and is not a malfunction.
