: Only for TK-C1530U/E and TK-C1531EG Setup System Example (continued) Flow for Connection/Settings Follow the procedures below to connect/set this unit. Turn off the power of devices to be used before connecting the cables. Precautions when using RM-P2580E: When operating a system using the RM-P2580E, several cameras (up to 16) can be connected and used on one control signal cable. Consequently, an incorrect switch setting on just a single camera will cause the entire system to work incorrectly.
Setup 1. Mounting the lens Check the mounting method of the lens before mounting ● This camera is set to CS-mount lens before shipment. To use a C-mount lens, loosen the back focus fastening screw with a screwdriver, turn the back focus adjustment ring with your finger or the screwdriver and change the mounting method. ● For the dimension (a) of the lens mounting section as illustrated in the diagram, use the value that is shown in the table below.
: Only for TK-C1530U/E and TK-C1531EG Setup : Only for TK-C1530U/E and TK-C1531EG Note: ● If thin cables are used, the resistance of the cables will be high and a significant voltage drop will occur when the camera is at its maximum power consumption. Either use a thick cable with low resistance or place the power supply near to the camera and shorten the length of the cable to restrict the voltage drop at the rated current of camera to below 10 %.
Setup Connecting the back panel (continued) Connecting alarm input/output terminal 䡵 Alarm input terminal Connect infrared sensor, door sensor, metal sensor or sensor of manual switch and the like. ● To prevent noise from entering the internal circuit, supply non-voltage setting signal. ● Do not supply voltage. ● Can be set via menu whether to set to alarm when the contact is short (MAKE), or when the contact is open (BREAK). (A Pg. 39) ● Supply such that the alarm signal continues for more than 200 ms.
