CONNECTIONS

Q

 What you need

 

Peripheral equipment (such as monitor, digital video recorder or time-
lapse VCR)

 

Cables for connecting peripheral equipment and camera (coaxial cables, 
connecting plugs)

 

Power adapter (24 V AC or 12 V DC)

Q

 Supported coaxial cables 

You can use any of the following coaxial cables:

 

RG-59U (3C-2V) Length: About 250 m max.

 

RG-6U (5C-2V)

Length: About 500 m max.

 

RG-11U (7C-2V) Length: About 600 m max.

 

When using an RG-59U (3C-2V) cable, do not use it on piping or air 
wiring.

 

Select the cable according to the distance between the devices you wish 
to connect.

 

If you use a cable other than the types above, the image or sync signal 
will be attenuated and will not be transmitted correctly.

Q

 Making connections

1

Connect the camera and peripheral equipment.

2

Connect the power cable.
<When using a 24 V AC adapter>

Connect 3 wire grounded cable (use 18AWG+) to the ground (GND) 
terminal as shown in Figure 1.

<When using a 12 V DC adapter>

Connect the cable as shown in Figure 2.

 

When connecting the power cable to the camera, check that the polarity 
is correct.

 

To prevent a fire hazard use any UL listed wire rated VW-1 for the 24 V 
AC cable input terminal.

3

Insert the power adapter plug into the wall outlet.

The power indicator (POWER) lights.

Q

 Color/black and white setting

Connect each pin of the CONTROL terminal as indicated below, to set the 
image to color or black and white manually. You can adjust the image by 
remote control.

 

Color image setting

Connect the C (color) and the G (ground) pins.

 

Black and white setting

Connect the B (black and white) and the G (ground) pins.

ON: Close  OFF:

 

Open

 

The maximum length of cable for the CONTROL terminal is 400 m 
(AWG24).

 

During optical filter switching, even if the manual switching operation is 
complete, you cannot determine if the image is color or black and white. 
Manual switching will have to be performed one more time.

FLANGE-BACK ADJUSTMENT

If the pick-up surface is not correctly positioned with relation to the lens 
focal point, the picture will be out of focus (in particular when using auto-iris 
power zoom lenses, sold separately). If that is the case, adjust the flange-
back position as described below.

1

Using a + screwdriver, loosen the flange-back lock screw (M2:+).

2

Set the zoom lens to the maximum telephoto position and set the 
focus using the focus ring on the lens.

3

Set the zoom lens to the maximum wide angle position and set the 
focus using the flange-back adjustment lever.

4

Repeat steps 2 and 3, until the image stays in focus when 
changing from a telephoto shot to a wide angle shot.

When the setting is complete, tighten the flange-back lock screw.

When the flange-back lock screw is completely tightened it will protrude 
slightly as shown in the illustration (Fig. A).
Do not tighten the screw further.

CAMERA ADJUSTMENTS/SETTINGS

The camera comes pre-adjusted and ready to install at time of factory 
shipment, but you may want to make adjustments or settings to adapt to the 
operating conditions or installation environment.
If you have trouble adjusting the camera, contact your place of purchase or 
a Sanyo Authorized Service Center.

CONTROL

1

 

The electronic iris is suitable for normal indoor use. When switch 1 (IRIS) 
is set to the up (EI) position, do not use an auto-iris lens.

 

If used under fluorescent light, the image may flicker. In such a case, 
change to incandescent lighting or set switch 1 (IRIS) to the down (AI) 
position and use an auto-iris lens.

 

When shooting bright subjects, pay attention to the light angle in order to 
avoid or minimize the smear effect.

 

If conditions are outside the electronic iris operation range or more than 
the maximum illumination, the CCD will be saturated. In that case, use 
the auto iris lens.

Q

 Aperture (outline compensation) 

If object outlines appear too strongly, set to “NORM”.

Q

 Gain control (AGC) 

For adjusting the sensitivity of the camera. Use this setting for shooting in 
dark environments.

The HI setting causes noise generation and a grainy image.

Q

 Backlight compensation

 

 

This camera has two different backlight compensation functions: Normally 
backlight compensation switch 

 and 

 are set to the down (OFF) 

position. Change the backlight compensation switch settings depending on 
the conditions.

Q

 White balance (color compensation) 

 

 

 

Q

 Sync setting 

Vertical sync disturbance may occur when a selector is used to switch 
between multiple cameras connected to one monitor. To prevent vertical 
sync disturbance, set to “LL.”

 

LL (Line-Lock): Synchronizes the unit with power frequency.

If image disturbance doesn’t disappear after adjusting the PHASE dial on 
the second and subsequent cameras, adjust the PHASE dial on the first 
camera. If the problem persists, check that all the devices have been 
connected with the correct power cable polarity.

Q

 Color/black and white switch setting

 

This switch lets you select the timing of the automatic switching of the 
optical filter to color image or black and white image, according to the 
subject brightness.

When the power is turned off and then on, switching will restart from color.

 

A sound of the optical filter may be heard when the color image or black 
and white image is switched. Also, the image will be distorted (black lines 
may appear on the screen). This is normal and does not indicate a 
problem.

 

When using infrared lighting, and if there is a strong reflection on the 
subject, the optical filter may switch from black and white to color mode.

 

The focus setting may be different in color and black and white mode. 
Please check and adjust the focus setting in both modes.

Q

 Iris dial (lens iris) 

If the entire image is too dark or too bright, adjust the LEVEL dial (

).

extremely dark, the center of the object 

may be too bright. In this case, set 

center-weighted metering mode.

only in the 

background

Center-weighted metering

Only the center of the image is metered 

and backlight-compensated.

Do not set switches 

 and 

 both to 

“ON”. Compensation will not be 

performed correctly with this setting.
