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

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 0.8 lx

(F1.2, 50%, AGC 20dB) and 0.025 lx (at

slow shutter).

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.

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 when it

is dropped because of incomplete

installation due to not observing the

installation instructions correctly. Please

be careful when installing the camera.

The motion detector is not a feature to

prevent theft, fire, etc. Even if an

accident should occur resulting in

damage, we do not accept any liability.

CAUTION : Cautionary notes concerning operation of the unit.

MEMO

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 outdoor, be sure to

use a housing and 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.

WhileAGCactivated,ifusekindoftransceiver

which cause strong electromagnetic wave at

close distance, picture might have influence

for beat and etc.

So please kindly use camera more than three

meters apart 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.

TK-C1480U and TK-C1480E

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:

TK-C1480U

Class 2 only

TK-C1480E

Isolated power supply only

TK-C1481EG Connect the power cable

to the commercial power supply of 230V.

Caution for operating the video iris lens

In case the video iris lens is set to an

extremely low level, malfunction such as

the hunting phenomenon in which the iris

opens or closes unintentionally 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.

A CCD is made by high technology,

boasting an exceptionally high level of

precision with an effective pixel of more

than 99.99%. Although there is a less than

0.01% pixel defect (whitish flaw, blackish

flaw), this does not mean that the CCD is

out of order.

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.

can also be attached on the top

according to the circumstance.

To re-attach the bracket use the threaded

holes at the top, with the camera

mounting bracket locking screws 7 .

5 Camera-mounting screw hole (1/4

inch)

Use this hole when mounting

the camera onto a fixer, pan/

tilt unit, and the like. (Use a

screw shorter than 7 mm.)
