5 Camera Installation
GB
The camera can be installed on a camera stand, on a
pan/tilt head (e. g. MONACOR VPT-50), or on a camera
support (e. g. support of the MONACOR TVH-... series).
For this purpose, the lower side of camera is provided
with an adapter (13) with a thread jack [thread 6.3 mm
1
( / )]. For suspended installation, this adapter can alter-

natively be screwed to the upper side of the camera.
For outs ide installation, the camera must be placed
in a weatherproof outdoor housing.

6 Camera Connection

Connect the BNC jack "VIDEO OUT" (7) to the video
input of the following unit (e. g. monitor, camera switcher,
video splitter) via a 75 Ω cable (e. g. MONACOR VEC-
62/10). With a cable length exceeding 100 m, a video
amplifier should be inserted between the camera and
the cable to compensate cable losses.
The camera can be supplied with an operating volt-
age of 24 V~ or 12 V . The current consumption is
300 mA (at 24 V~) or 500 mA (at 12 V ). Connect the
source of current (e. g. a regulated power supply unit
for DC supply or a transformer for AC supply) to the
screw terminals "AC24V" (8).

7 Operation

1) After connecting the camera to the power supply, it is
ready for operation. The red LED "POWER" (10) on
the rear side of the camera lights up.
2) After switching on the monitor, align the camera to
the surveillance zone in such a way that the lenses
of the lens assembly are not exposed to direct sun-
light, otherwise the CCD image sensor chip might be
damaged!
3) Adjust the distance on the lens. In case of a lens with
manual iris control, adjust the iris to optimum picture
reproduction (depth of focus and brightness).
4) If the picture is not sharp despite a correctly adjusted
distance, readjust the mechanical focus setting for
the lens. For this purpose, release the setscrew (2)
and adjust a sharp picture by fine adjustment of the
rotating ring (3). Then retighten the screw.
5) In case of a lens with automatic iris control, the video
signal level of the iris control can be readjusted if the
picture is too dark or too bright:
When using a DC lens, adjust an optimum video
level by turning the control "DC LEVEL" (5) with a
small screwdriver. In case of a lens with video signal
controlled iris, the level control for the video signal
can be found on the lens.
