DD/AI Lens Connector Camera Mounting Use a standard 1/4-20 screw (provided) with a maximum thread length of 3/8-inch (10 mm) for top or bottom camera mounting. The mount adapter may be fitted to the top or bottom of the camera.
POWER AND VIDEO CONNECTIONS To connect the camera power and video do the following: 1. Remove the rear cover from the camera (refer to Figure 1). Thread cabling through the rear cover. 2. Connect the power cable to the two pin power connector on the back of the camera using the terminal block connector provided. Refer to Table A for the recommended wire gauge to use for the installation 3. Connect a video cable to the SIGNAL OUT connector (BNC) on the back of the camera.
Table A. Recommended Wire Gauge and Wiring Distances The following are the recommended maximum distances for 24 VAC applications and are calculated with a 10-percent voltage drop. (Ten percent is generally the maximum allowable voltage drop for AC-powered devices.) Wire Gauge Total vA 20 (0.5 mm2) 18 (1.0 mm2) 16 (1.5 mm2) 14 (2.5 mm2) 12 (4.0 mm2) 10 (6.
LENS SETUP AND FOCUS PROCEDURES Video Drive Auto Iris Lens When a video drive auto iris lens is used, the lens mode selector switch must be set to AI. Switch the EI and AGC OFF. Refer to the lens instructions and adjust the lens for the optimum picture (video output level of 1V peak-to-peak). Switch the AGC ON. To focus, fully open the iris by covering the lens with a suitable neutral density (ND*) filter. If the viewed scene is 6.5 feet (2 m) away or farther, set the lens focus to infinity (far).
BACK FOCUS ADJUSTMENT The back focus adjustment is located at the front of the camera and is accessible from either side of the case. To adjust the back focus: 1. Loosen the two back focus locking screws (one on each side). 2. Turn the back focus ring: a. Clockwise - Moves the CCD sensor assembly towards the back of the lens. b. Counterclockwise - Moves the CCD sensor away from the lens. 3. When the back focus adjustment is satisfactory, tighten the locking screws.
SWITCH SETTINGS WHITE REPRESENTS SWITCH POSITION 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Figure 7. Switch Settings 10 LL/INT Synchronization Selection Locks the frame rate to the power supply frequency. Eliminates vertical roll caused by multiple cameras connected to the same switching device. Each camera output is synchronized to the frequency of the power supply. Set the camera synchronization mode to one of the following: Line Lock (LL) - Line-locks frame rate of cameras. INT - Disables line lock.
4 EI ON/EI OFF (Electronic Iris) The EI (Electronic Iris) feature compensates for an excessive light level by automatically adjusting shutter speed. When the EI is ON, the DD lens level potentiometer on the side of the camera may be used to adjust the EI threshold level. The level is factory set to 1V peak-to-peak. OFF - Disables the Electronic Iris mode. Use with auto iris/direct 4 OFF drive lenses. 4 EI ON (Default setting) - Enables the Electronic Iris mode. Use with fixed or manual iris lenses.
CAMERA PHASE ADJUSTMENT When using one AC power supply in a multi camera system, a brief vertical roll may occur on the monitor each time a camera view is switched. To eliminate vertical roll, adjust the phase control to synchronize (line-lock), the cameras to one another. The synchronization switch (DIP switch 10) for each camera must be set to LL. Use the potentiometer located on the side of the camera to make adjustments.
