1. Safety Instructions
• Read these safety instructions and the operation manual first before you install and commission the camera.
• Keep the manual in a safe place for later reference.
• Contact your local dealer in case of malfunction.
• Protect your camera from contamination with water and humidity to prevent it from permanent damage.
Never switch the camera on when it gets wet. Have it checked at an authorized service center in this case.
• Do not open the camera housing. Maintenance and repair have to be carried out only by authorized service centers.
• Operate the camera only at a temperature range of -10°C to +50°C and at a humidity of max. 90%.
• The camera is equipped with an automatic gain control (AGC) which increases the sensitivity at low light levels.
Noisy pictures at these conditions are quite normal.
• Pictures including bright spotlights will cause perhaps vertical lines (smear) or soft edges (blooming) on the
monitor display. This happens most probably in automatic shutter mode. This is not a defect but an effect caused
by the CCD sensor.
• If you are using an AI or DC controlled lens, switch OFF the automatic electronic shutter control. If it is ON,
flickering may occur. If a manual lens is used, switch ON the automatic shutter.
• Use only a mild detergent to clean the housing. Never use dilution or gasoline for this can cause permanent
damage to the surface.
The cameras should never:
• be operated beyond the technical specifications. This can lead to destruction.
• pointed with open iris towards the sun (This can damage the sensor).
Note: This is a class A digital device. This digital device can cause harmful interference in a residential area;
in this case the user may be required to take appropriate corrective action at his/her own expense.
