TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience problems with the camera picture please check these simple
troubleshooting procedures for possible solutions before calling technical support.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you have removed the ground loop and the horizontal line still
remains on screen call Moog Videolarm technical support for further information.
GROUND LOOPS
Generally a horizontal line on screen, whether moving or stationary, means you have
a ground loop problem. The video shield should only be connected to ground through
the monitor or other electronic equipment that uses the video signal. Connecting the
video shield to ground at the camera will create a ground loop, which may interfere
with the video signal (See Figure A). This should not damage the camera, but the video
signal may become unusable. A ground loop problem will cause a dark horizontal
bar to slowly “scroll" through the picture. To solve this problem, remove all ground
connections from the video connection EXCEPT for the ground at the terminating end
of the video signal.
The video termination should be a 75-ohm impedance, standard in monitors and
other video equipment. If the video signal goes to more than one piece of equipment,
a monitor and multiplexer input for instance, insure that one and only one piece of
equipment terminates the video signal with 75 ohms; otherwise the image will be
degraded and may appear to be unusually dim.
STATIONARY OR SCROLLING HORIZONTAL LINES
ON SCREEN
PICTURE IS CLEAR, LOW OR NO COLOR; PICTURE IS DARK
OR GRAINY IN GOOD LIGHTING CONDITIONS
The auto iris lens is set at the factory. If you experience video too light or dark
you can manually adjust using the auto iris adjustment screw.
If there is low or no color the Auto Iris is too open, if the picture is dark or grainy in good
conditions the Auto Iris is too closed.
To adjust the auto iris lens, first locate the AUTO IRIS ADJUSTMENT SCREW on the camera
PC board. Using a small insulated screwdriver (blade width of from 1/16" to 3/32"), adjust
the control. Turning the control CLOCKWISE opens the iris, making the image brighter.
Turning the control COUNTER CLOCKWISE closes the iris, making the image darker.

AUTOMATIC BROWN OUT FEATURE
The camera includes an automatic brown out feature which is activated whenever the
incoming voltage drops below 10 VAC or VDC.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON AUTO IRIS ADJUSTMENT:
WHEN ADJUSTING, USE A SMALL, INSULATED SCREWDRIVER.
The auto
iris adjustments are very sensitive. Use gentle pressure when turning.
To adjust, turn either clock-wise or counter-clockwise no more than one
degree at a time. Check the monitor after each turn to determine is the
desired brightness and color have been obtained. When the adjustment is
satisfactory, place a hand over the lens to block out all light. Quickly remove
the hand to be sure the iris reacts.
LINE LOCK
All cameras are all shipped from the factory with the line lock function disabled. If your
application requires Line Lock contact Moog Videolarm.
