Safety Precautions

Read these instructions carefully before commissioning the camera in order to

avoid damages caused by improper installation or use.

Installation may only be carried out by authorised personnel according to the local

safety regulations.

Operate the camera with the designated voltage only.

Follow the safety instructions attached to the camera.

Never use the camera for other purposes than designated.

Repairs and adjustments at the camera may only be carried out by authorised

personnel.

In case of outdoor use you have to install the camera in a suitable weather

protection case incl. heating element.

If any liquid or solid matter should get into the housing, disconnect the camera

from power supply and have it checked by your authorised dealer before re-using

(danger of electronic shock!).

Do not disassemble the camera. To avoid electric shocks, never remove screws or

covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside it. All maintenance may only be

carried out by authorised personnel according to the local safety regulations.

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)

4.0 Do 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-Lenses

To adjust a lens with automatic iris (video driven) to the camera, please proceed as

follows:

1. Turn the level potentiometer (position: ES lenses at the lens) 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!
