Phenomena inherent to CCD imaging device  
Following are the phenomena inherent to a CCD imaging device, and not defects  
2) Fixed pattern noise  
1) Smear and blooming  
When the camera is operated in a high temperature,  
fixed pattern noise may appear on the entire screen.  
When strong light (lamp, fluorescent lamp, and  
reflected light, etc.) is shot, a blue belt to remain thinly  
in vertical and the horizontal direction of light might go  
out.  
3) Moire  
When fine patterns are shot, moire may be displayed.  
4) Burning  
When excessively intense light comes to the CCD for a  
long time, the spectral filter in the CCD pixel may be  
deteriorated, and the color of the corresponding portion  
may change.  
Moreover, the lower side on the monitor screen might  
become pure-white momentarily.  
Avoid using the camera under such condition.  
In this case, change the angle of the camera so that  
such strong light does not enter the camera through  
the lens.

Connections  
Video output connection  
External power supply connection  
Connect the video output of the camera to the video input of a  
monitor or other equipment. When using a “loop through”  
connection of two or the more monitors, set the 75Ω switch of  
only the final monitor to ON.  
Use a stabilized 12 VDC(±10%) power supply rated at 2.5  
ampere or greater. Wire the accessory 3-pin DC plug as  
shown in the figure for connecting the power supply to the  
camera.  
Determine the type of cable according to the distance of the  
connected equipment. The maximum cable lengths indicated  
below are recommended for avoiding appreciable picture  
degradation.  
Caution  
Be sure to confirm proper polarity before switching  
on power.

Lens  
Recommended lenses  
Use an auto iris lens having a plug pin arrangement conforming to EIAJ (Electronic Industries Association of Japan)  
specifications.  
This camera is using a CCD that has sensitivity in infrared region ( from 700 to 1000nm ).  
Please select a lens for use from the following recommendation lens table.

Installation of CS-mount lens  
Note on lens selection  
C-mount adaptor is provided for the camera in the factory.  
1) Observe the maximum size limit (A in the figure)  
When installing the lens. Internal damage can occur  
If a larger lens is used.  
When using a CS-mount lens, unscrew and remove the  
C-mount adaptor. Save the C-mount adaptor for possible future.  
2) Avoid using a lens that is heavier than the camera.  
If unavoidable, be sure to fix the lens itself on a support.  
Caution  
A heavy lens can disturb the balance with respect to  
The camera and possibly result in damage.

1) To the extent possible, set the lens response to  
Average. Hunting can occur toward the Peak setting.  
2) When adjusting the level, choose a location with  
adequate brightness (more than 300 lux) where the  
AGC and Sens Up functions are not needed.  
GND  
After installing the plug on the cable, connect it to the lens  
connector on the rear of the camera.

Zoom lens  
Flangeback adjustment  
1) Set the lens to telephoto and aim toward an object at least  
20 meters distant.  
Flangeback adjustment is needed in cases where focus cannot  
be obtained by normal lens focus operation or focus is lost at the  
maximum telephoto and wide angle settings of a zoom lens.  
In such cases, open the lens iris and adjust as follows.  
2) Turn the lens focus ring to adjust the focus.  
3) Set the lens to wide angle. Loosen the (2) lens mount  
screws and turn the lens mount ring to adjust the focus.  
Use care not to disturb the lens focus ring.  
Fixed focus lens  
1) Set the lens focus ring to infinity.  
2) Aim toward an object at least 20 meters distant.  
3) Loosen the (2) lens mount screws and turn the lens mount  
ring to adjust the focus. Use care not to disturb the lens  
focus ring.  
4) Again set to telephoto but adjust the focus by turning the  
Lens focus ring.  
5) Repeat these steps and carefully adjust for best focus.  
6) Finally, tighten the lens mount screws.  
4) Tighten the lens mount screws.  
NOTE  
If using an auto iris lens and the adjustment object distance  
is less than several meters, due to lens depth of focus  
relationship, slight blurring can occur at certain iris positions.  
In this event, darken the scene so as to open the iris and  
adjust the focus or flangeback to prevent the blurring.  
10  
Camera mounting  
If the camera is to be suspended from the ceiling,  
change the position of the tripod adaptor from the  
bottom to the top of the camera, as indicated in the figure.  
Caution:  
Tripod adaptor  
Use the following type of camera mounting screw.  
Type :U 1/4-20  
Length:L=7mm  
Binding head screws M3 x 8  
If longer than 7 mm, there is risk of internal damage to  
the camera. Conversely, if too short, the camera will not  
be firmly secured and there is risk of dropping.

2) Use the UP and DOWN buttons to shift the cursor to  
“B/W MODE” ; the setting flashes.  
3) Press the SET button to select the setting sequentially in  
the following order.  
SET button: OFFONAUTO(H)AUTO(M)AUTO(L)  
OFF : Color always mode; factory setting.  
ON : B/W always mode  
23  
AUTO  
: Changes to the color image and B/W image  
automatically according to brightness.  
NOTE  
1) In the case that near infrared lighting is used the  
hunting phenomenon causing repeated changes  
between the color and B/W mode may occur. Avoid  
strong near Infrared lighting when using the AUTO  
Mode.  
1) The character of the rest of “AUTO” is showing  
the brightness (the image level) where the mode  
changes from color to a B/W image.  
AUTO(H) : About 70% or less of proper levels  
AUTO(M) : About 50% or less of proper levels  
AUTO(L) : About 30% or less of proper levels  
2) When the mode is changed to a B/W image where  
there is no near infrared light a change in sensitivity  
does not occur.  
2) Change is using the scale factor data of the  
amplification data or SENS UP of automatic gain  
control for the color image from a B/W image.  
AGC setting is “OFF” or SENS UP setting is  
“OFF” / ”MANU” are not able to use the “AUTO”  
setting of BW MODE.  
3) The focus face of the lens differs in visible light (the  
color image) and near infrared (the B/W image).  
The focus has deviated when the mode is changed  
to a B/W image even if the focus was set properly for  
the color image. Please use a lens having near  
infrared response when using the B/W mode.  
About B/W mode  
The camera CCD responds to infrared light (From 700nm  
to 1000nm) that is invisible to the human eye.  
The normal color mode uses an IR cut filter to remove the  
infrared component.  
4) “AGC LIMIT” binds B/W mode AUTO to (H) or (M) at  
the time of, “220” or more binding.  
Sensitivity is usually more important in the B/W mode.  
Therefore, the IR cut filter is removed to take advantage of  
sensitivity in the infrared region.
