5. Assemble the camera in the opposite order

of "Disassembly of the camera" described
earlier.

• Attach the inner dome to the camera.
• Attach the panel cover to the camera so

that the two position marks overlap.

• Fasten the panel screw.

6. Fill the screw hole with the supplied rubber

cap.

■ Video Output Connection

Connect the video output connector to the mon-
itor or other system device with the procured
coaxial cable. The maximum extensible length
is shown in the table.

■ Power Connection

Connect the power source to the 3-wire pigtail
sticking out from the camera, using the pro-
cured power cable.

● Wire Colors & Functions

• Be sure to connect the GND (grounding)

lead of the camera and grounding terminal
of the power supply when using a 24 V AC
power source.

● Cable Length and Wire Gauge

The recommended cable length and thick-
ness are shown in the table for reference.
The voltage supplied to the power termi-
nals of the camera should be within 19.5 V
AC and 28 V AC.

Use the formula below to calculate the
power cable and power supply. The volt-
age supplied to the power terminals of the
camera should be within 10.5 V DC and 16
V DC.

You can manually adjust the pan/tilt/azimuth
angles, focus, and zoom while observing the
connected monitor.

• Do not hold the camera by the lens unit

when adjusting panning, tilting, or azimuth.

• The video output to the BNC will be inter-

rupted while an LCD monitor is connected
to the video jack.

1. Connect an LCD monitor to the video jack.

2. Pan/tilt/azimuth adjustment

• Pan and tilt the table to aim the camera at

what you need to watch.

• Turn the azimuth adjuster to obtain a level

image.

3. Zoom

• Unlock the zoom lever.
• Move the lever to adjust the zoom.
• Lock the lever.

4. Focus

• Unlock the focus lever.
• Move the lever to adjust the focus.
• Lock the lever.
