Tips for Camera Location
1.0 To avoid internal overheating:
-never expose the camera to direct sunlight without additional camera housing
-keep sufficient distance to direct heat sources.
2.0 Never install the camera at humid, oily or dusty locations without using an
additional housing. (without additional housing the camera is not suitable for
outdoor use!)
3.0 The camera should be installed out of reach (min. height: 2.30 m)
4.0Do not aim the camera towards indoor lighting, the windows, the sunlight or the
sky (to get good pictures, camera and light should be aimed towards the object)
5.0 Reduce the picture detail to the
essential parts of the picture and place
the camera as close as possible to the
object (a smaller picture detail
guarantees sharper details).
6.0 Do not aim the camera towards a
window but instead towards the room.
7.0 Outdoors the camera should be
placed as high as possible so that the
horizon does not appear in the picture.
8.0 Avoid peak light as background (also
caused by reflections, e.g. window
panes).

Adjustment of Back Focus
This adjustment should only be carried out, if the lens cannot be focused properly
using the lens focus ring. For such a case proceed as follows:
1 Loosen the Allan head screw with the
attached Allan head key. For large distances,
turn the focus ring of the lens almost (0.5 cm)
to the "endless" limit position. If you need to
focus an object near the camera, turn the
focus ring of the lens to a position 1cm before
the "near" limit position.
2 Use the back focus adjustment screw to adjust the distance between lens and
CCD chip until the picture is in focus. Then fix the Allan head screw using the Allan
head key.
3 Finally, focus the picture using the lens focus ring.
Adjustment of ES / DC Lenses
To adjust a lens with automatic iris (DC driven or video driven) to the camera, please
proceed as follows:
1. Turn the level potentiometer (position: ES lenses at the lens itself, DC lenses: at
the camera) to the max. position H (turn right). The monitor picture then appears
to be too bright.
2. Slowly turn the level potentiometer back until the monitor picture appears to be
perfect and is not too bright anymore. Then turn the potentiometer back to the
right (in direction "H") just a little bit.
3. Check the lens performance by using the camera under different and/or changing
light conditions.

Focusing the Camera Lens
After you have selected the correct picture detail you have to adjust the lens focus.
The focus adjustment needs to be done with the iris fully open, since the camera has
the smallest depth of focus in this position. If the focus adjustment was not done with
the iris completely open, the picture would be sharp during the day but slowly getting
out of focus the more the light disappears. To fully open the lens, use a grey filter in
front of the lens, provided you are using a lens with automatic iris. Adjust the focus
while the iris is fully open using the lens focus ring. Make sure the most important
picture details are in optimum focus (use a service monitor). If it is not possible to
bring the picture into focus, please adjust the back focus of the camera as described
above.
If you intend to use I.R. illumination at a later stage, you must use an I.R. pass filter
together with the grey filter during focus adjustment to ensure that only I.R. light will
get through to the camera chip and the focus adjustment is done according to this
spectrum, only. Attention: I.R. light can only be used in combination with mono
cameras, not colour cameras!

Troubleshooting
Error Cause
No picture - No operating voltage (check red LED)
- Coaxial connection interrupted (check video cable)
The picture is noisy - Insufficient light
- The lens drive of the used lens (DC / AI) is not
properly adjusted to the camera (level too low)
The picture is too bright - The lens drive of the used lens (DC / AI) is not
properly adjusted to the camera (level too high)
- Too much peak light; change camera location or
activate backlight function of the camera
The picture is not sharp - Focus not adjusted properly
- Back focus not adjusted properly
- When used outdoors: heater defective; front pane of
camera housing gets steamy
The picture is distorted - Different GND potentials between camera and
monitor; use opto coupler (e.g. VPT from videotronic)
- Bad connections
Ghost image - Wrong 75 Wtermination
- Shield of video cable interrupted
Synchronisation of cameras
does not work properly
- No or bad linelock connection between camera (12
V/DC version) and power adapter
- Mains plug twisted; turn the mains plug by 180° to
change the linelock phase
Please contact your authorised dealer with an exact failure description if none of the
above remedy measures fixes your problem.
