HOW TO CONNECT
1. Before connection, make sure that power of all units are OFF and cords are unplugged.
2. Mount a lens onto the camera. Refer to "HOW TO USE" for usable lens.
3. Connect video terminal of the camera and the video input terminal of a monitor TV, etc. with a
75Ω coaxial cable.
4. Connect the power terminal of the camera to a power supply.
Caution: Installation should be made by a qualified service personnel and should conform to all
local codes.
Lens, coaxial cable for video signal and power supply are not supplied with a camera.

 HOW TO USE
1. Adjust the iris and focus of the lens so that optimum image CS-mount
may be obtained.
* Usable lenses Lens 4mm or less
CS-mount lenses, whose length "L" (in the illustration)
L
from the bearing surface of the mount is 4mm or less if
protruded, should be used.
* Using the zoom lens (adjustment of the back focus)
Camera Lens
The camera is set at the standard back focus position when
shipped from factory. Depending on types of zoom lenses,
however, slight readjustment may be necessary.
Focusing dial
Adjust the lens back-focus by turning the focusing dial in
either direction as per the illustration, referring to the following instructions.
1 Place an object at any fixed distance and set the focus ring of the zoom lens accordingly.
2 Set the zoom lens to full TELE position and obtain the best focus position by turning the
focus ring or the zoom lens.
3 Set the zoom lens to full WIDE position and obtain the best focus position by turning the
focusing dial located on the side of the camera.
4 Repeat procedures 2 and 3 until focus remains constant throughout the zooming range.
Note: When weight of the lens is more than 1kg (2.2lbs), the camera should be supported by the
lens rather than relying on camera mounting screw.
Adjust the back-focus only when necessary.
* Using an auto iris lens
When a DC driven type auto iris lens is used, set the AUTO IRIS switch at DC, and connect the
plug of the lens (for iris terminal) to the IRIS terminal on the right side of the camera.
When a video feedback type auto iris lens is used, set the AUTO IRIS switch at VIDEO, and
connect the plug of the lens (for iris terminal) to the IRIS terminal on the right side of the
camera. (Refer to Lens manual for the level adjustment.)

* When a video feedback type auto iris lens (peak/average selectable type) is used at peak
mode, BLC may not function well. In such a case, select the average mode.
2. Before your use of the camera at AES (Automatic Electronic Shutter) mode.
* When using an auto-iris lens, set the AES switch at OFF.
(The AES switch is set at OFF when shipped from factory.)
* The AES mode may increase smears on monitors, which is caused by characteristics of CCD
and is not defect.
Set the AES switch at OFF in case smears appear excessively.

Caution:
1.The camera is synchronized to the power frequency of 60Hz 0.5Hz covering a normal
fluctuation of the power frequency.
The camera may not compensate for large fluctuation caused by power generated by an
engine generator, etc.
2.It takes about 10 seconds or more to obtain a stable synchronization after the power is

4 White balance selector
Manual or Automatic white balance modes are selectable. With the setting at AUTO position,
the camera automatically adjusts to the color temperature and adjusts the white balance. The
camera is factory-set at AUTO position. For manual adjustment, set to MANU position and set
the white balance switches as follows.
White balance (WB): According to the combination of the switches 1 and 2, the following
adjustments are available:
1 2 *: Can be adjusted by the
L L AWB PUSH switch.
L H * Manual (Shift change)
H L Manual (Fixed 3200k)
H H Manual (Fixed 4200k)
5 IRIS switch
When a DC driven type auto iris lens is used, set this switch to DC position. When a video
feedback type auto iris lens is used, set this switch to VIDEO position.
6 ALC LEVEL
Adjust video output level, when IRIS switch is DC position.
7 AES switch (Automatic Electronic Shutter)
With the AGC switch at ON position, AES are available.
By setting the AES switch, Automatic Electronic Shutter mode (1/60~1/10,000 sec) is available.
Note: In electronic shutter mode;
*Sufficient brightness is required.
*The picture will flicker when shooting under the illumination produced by fluorescent lamp.
8 PUSH button
• Vertical sync. phase adjustment
Vertical sync. phase adjusting is set at the position fully that the delay time of vertical sync.
phase against the phase of power frequency is shortest, when shipped from the factory.
Select this 8 up ( ) and down ( ) button will make the delay time of vertical sync.
phase against the phase of power frequency longer.
Use the push button 8 if the picture image on a monitor TV may flow when using the
camera in combination with other camera(s) controlled by the Line-Lock synchronization.
In this case, get a proper image by shifting the phase of vertical sync. signal of the camera
against that of the other. If a proper image cannot be obtained even after this adjustment,
reset the potentiometer to its original position, and use the function control potentiometer
8 of the other camera to shift the phase of vertical sync. signal of other camera.
Caution: Before making adjustment, make sure that cameras have their power supplies
connected with the same polarity. (not 180° apart)
• Manual white balance selector
When the white balance selector is set to MANU (shift change) in 4 above, the white
balance can be adjusted by using the PUSH switch. This mode will prove effective under
shooting conditions with little variation in color temperture.
* When the white balance selector is set to MANU (shift change), the vertical sync. phase can
not be adjusted.
