Caspian C-39N0-160-I2C

Caspian C-39N0-250-I2C

Complete the following steps to connect a Varioptic liquid lens to the ISC-178x.
1.

Disconnect the power from the ISC-178x.

2.

If the lens cover is connected, unscrew the lens cover from the ISC-178x.

3.

If a plug is covering the liquid lens connector inside the lens housing, use non-conductive
tweezers to remove the plug.

4.

Connect the lens to the ISC-178x and screw it in firmly.

5.

The Varioptic liquid lens has two cables. Wrap the cable with the 6-pin connector tightly
around the liquid lens housing.

6.

Tuck the 3-pin connector and its branched wire into the folds of the longer cable. The 3-
pin connector is not used.

7.

Use non-conductive tweezers to plug the 6-pin connector of the Varioptic liquid lens into
the liquid lens connector on the ISC-178x. Once the connector is in place, use the
tweezers to press firmly on either side of the wires to ensure a good connection.

8.

Slide the lens cover over the lens and screw it into the ISC-178x housing until it is firmly
in place. The lens cover must be in place for IP67 conformity.

9.

Reconnect the power to the ISC-178x.

When the ISC-178x powers on with a compatible liquid lens connected, the lens will be
detected and the Lens Present attribute will indicate that a compatible lens is present. You can
adjust the focal point by using the Lens Focal Position Raw attribute.
