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: 250 m max.

 

RG-6U (5C-2V)

Length: 500 m max.

 

RG-11U (7C-2V) Length: 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+) 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.

CAMERA INSTALLATION

Q

 Camera attachment bracket

As shown in Figure   above, you can remove the camera 
attachment bracket and reattach it to the camera bottom if you want 
to attach the camera to the top of an object. If you remove the 
camera attachment bracket, be sure to use the removed screws 
when reattaching it (other screws may not fit). 

When using the camera attachment stand (sold separately), select a 
location that will be able to withstand the weight of the camera and stand 
for many years, and fix them securely in place.

Q

 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 
screw.

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.

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.

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

 

 

You can set the metering area (

), to have the lens iris adjust 

automatically to make the image easy to see when the object is 

backlit.

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

 Iris dial (lens iris) 

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

).
