Power Supply and Power Cable Setup
The TMC-775/TMC-773 cameras require a100-240V AC/12V DC 1.3A universal voltage power supply with a US
plug. The JAI cable for this series of cameras is part number is 15P-02-9P-FULL or 15P-02-9P, and the power
supply is PD-12UU.

2.2.3
Attaching the Camera Lens
The TMC-775 camera accepts 1/2” or larger format size C-mount lenses, the TMC-773 camera accepts 1/3” or
larger format size C-mount lenses. To attach the C-mount lens to the camera, carefully engage the threads and
rotate the lens clockwise until it firmly seats on the mounting ring. Do not force the lens if it does not seat properly.
Please note that some lenses with extremely long flangebacks may exceed the mounting depth of the camera.
2.2.4
Adjustable Back-Focus
Before cameras are shipped, back focus is carefully set using a collimator, oscilloscope and other specialized
equipment. While the factory-set focus serves well in most cases, an adjustable back focus makes it possible to
improve image sharpness when using lower-cost zoom lenses, custom optics, or in unusual parameters.
There should be an obvious need to refocus the lens before attempting to change the back focus. This is an
exacting task. Some cameras have been returned to the factory to reset the back focus after failed attempts to
change the focus by customers. It is wise to label cameras whose back focus was adjusted.
1. The camera must be connected to a monitor before attempting to adjust the back focus.
2. To back focus the camera, first attach a C-mount lens in the mount. Be certain that the lens is properly
seated.
3. Next set the lens focus to infinity (if the lens has a manual iris, set the iris to a high f number while still
retaining a well illuminated image).
4. Loosen the three miniature hex set-screws (use a 0.9 mm hex wrench) that lock the focus ring in place.
Slowly turn the lens and focus ring assembly back and forth until you obtain the best image of the desired
object. This sets the back focus. Once the best image is obtained, tighten the focus ring set-screws until
they are snug. Do not over-tighten the screws.
Note: Mini-bayonet cameras adapted to C-mount do not have the back focus feature.
