Thank you for purchasing this product.
(These instrustions are for TK-WD310U and TK-WD310E.)
Before beginning to operate this unit, please read the instruction
manual carefully in order to make sure that the best possible per-
formance is obtained.
Features
Backlight compensation over a wide area is realized by the 14-bit
Wide Dynamic Range feature.
The Wide Dynamic Range feature controls the exposure time using
a maximum of 5 sampling timing for the image within a single screen.
Even when shooting in areas with large difference in lightning, sub-
jects with difference in brightness can be viewed in a clear and natu-
ral state.
1/3-inch high-resolution DPS device adopted as shooting element
to realize high picture quality with no smearing or blooming in areas
with high luminance. In addition, 1.9lx (during F1.2, 50%, AGC HIGH
setting) is realized for minimum subject brightness.
Horizontal resolution of 480 lines (typ.) and vertical resolution of over
400 lines allow display of finely detailed video.
New device adopted for use even under strong electric field condi-
tions.
Compatible with CS mount and VIDEO auto iris/DC auto iris.
*When using the C mount lens, C mount adapter is required.
Various settings in each menu screen are possible.
Menu settings can be performed easily using single button opera-
tions.
3 white balance modes of ATW, AWB and MANUAL are available.
ATW mode that adjusts the white balance automatically according
to the changes in lighting conditions (color temperature) or AWB/
MANUAL mode that automatically or manually adjusts and locks the
white balance of specific lighting conditions can be selected.
Camera title setting and display can be made.
Compact design allows installation in narrow spaces.

Operating Precautions
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 an appropriate housing.
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 ac-
ceptable range (from 10°C to 50°C).
·Near a source of radiation, X-rays, strong radio waves or magne-
tism.
· In a place where corrosive gasses are generated.
· 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 automati-
cally boosted and the picture may look uneven. However, this is not
a malfunction.
When this camera is used in the ATW mode, the recorded colours
may be slightly different from the actual colours due to the opera-
tional principles of the auto-tracking white balance circuit. However,
this is not a malfunction.
Hunting may occur depending on the used lens. However, this is not
a malfunction of the unit.
The screen surroundings may appear dark depending on the used
lens.

Operating Precautions (continued)
The white balance (ATW) of this device is optimally set for sunlight.
Proper white balance may not be achieved for artificial lighting such
as fluorescent lighting, etc.
If you use this camera in locations where the camera is exposed to
fluorescent light, a slow color change may occur.
(White balance normal = 5,400 K, range is 2,500 K to 10,000 K.)
AGC HIGH(×2) and up: in this mode, ATW white balance may be
inaccurate.
White balance performance decreases under poor lighting condi-
tions.
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:
U type : Class 2 only
E type : Isolated power supply only
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.
At Low light levels, video iris lens may "Hunt". Please adjust iris
level on lens to minimise hunting.
Recommended range of operating temperature is 0°C to 35°C de-
grees. The camera will function outside these parameters to 10°C
to 50°C degrees. But processing errors may be apparent.
Line-Lock is set for 50 Hz ±0.02 Hz. If line frequency is outside this
tolerance, picture may jitter and some interference may be visible in
high contrast scenes.
At low light level, when the slow shutter functions the screen may be
tinted.

Blemishes: Small spots are normal, the camera contains compen-
sation functions for blemishes above 120 mV (p-p) in value. Please
contact your JVC authorised dealer for further information.
For temperatures higher than the recommended temperature, the
slow shutter may not work correctly.
