1. Read all of these instructions.
2. Save these instructions for later use.
3. All warnings on the product and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Unplug this appliance system from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners
or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
5. Do not use attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer as they may
cause hazards.
6. Do not use this appliance near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen
sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
7. Do not place this appliance on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The
appliance may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and
serious damage to the appliance.
Use only with a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer, or
sold with the appliance. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the
manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting kit approved
by the manufacturer. An appliance and cart combination should be
moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to overturn.
8. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are pro-vided for ventilation,
and to insure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheating, these
openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
This appliance should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This appli-
ance should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper
ventilation is provided.
9. This appliance should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your
dealer or local power company. For appliance designed to operate from battery power,
refer to the operating instructions.
10. This appliance system is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a
third (grounding) pin). This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.
11. For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it form the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and
power-line surges.

just only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the appliance to normal operation.
e. If the appliance has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need
for service.
18. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replace-
ment parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the origi-
nal part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

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
SENSE UP (X32)). Furthermore, we
realized 0.02 lx (F1.2, 50% AGC 20dB)
thanks to the function of B/W mode.
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.
Day/Night surveillance
When the light is low, the camera pictures
can be switched automatically to black
and white pictures.
Electronic zoom
The 10x electronic zoom allows
monitoring in far greater detail.
Features
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.

E-7
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 transceiver
which causes strong electromagnetic
wave is at close distance, picture might
suffer from beat.
So please use the camera more than three
meters from such transceivers.
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.
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.
Operating Precautions
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.
The AC 24 V power supply should conform
to the following: Isolated power supply
only
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 in voluntary 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. (
page 20)
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 ver tical lines of the subject.
However, this phenomenon is peculiar to
the unit and is not a sign of 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.
You may hear some noise when the
screen is switched between the color and
the black and white mode, because the
optical filter moves. Also, black vertical
bands will appear on the screen.
