position over many hours ( e.g.continuously for 24
hours a day) the contact resistance of the panning
mechanism may increase. This may cause the
picture to be affected by noise interference or the
V.Networks Controller operation becoming un-
stable. To prevent this happening, once a week,
turn the system off and on in order to initialize the
camera and to clean the contacts.
Ⅵ When equipment that generates strong magne-
tism such as a transceiver is used near to the unit
while the AGC circuit is ON, beat noise, etc may
interfere with the picture. If a transceiver or similar
equipment is used, keep it at a distance of at least Ⅵ Do not touch the lens on the dome cover directly

the picture tends to become distorted at the edges
of the hemisphere. When the camera is tilted and
pointed in the horizontal-direction, the picture may
be out of focus because the camera will then cap-
ture the edges of the hemisphere.

erly.
Ⅵ Do not connect cameras other than VN-C655 to
the ceiling-mounting bracket. This may cause the
equipment to malfunction.
Ⅵ If a very bright object (such as a lamp) is being
monitored, the picture may contain vertical lines
(smear) above and below the bright object in the
picture. This is a normal phenomenon for solid-
state image pickup devices (CCD) and is not a
malfunction.

Camera setups with which auto focusing may
be difficult:
• When the AGC is activated and the image is
coarse.
Ⅵ Note on consumable parts
The following parts are consumable and should
be replaced after a certain number of hours or
a count of operations.
• When SENSE UP is activated and the im-
age contains only little motion.
The service lives given below are only typical
values. They may vary depending on the oper-
ating environment and conditions.
Note that the replacement of consumable parts
is chargeable even when they are replaced be-
fore the termination of the warranty period.
Ⅵ Zooming
When zooming is stopped near theTelephoto end
during manual operation or by selecting a preset
position, focusing may deviate slightly. In addition,
the manual zooming operation may not always be
smooth.
• Zoom lens assembly
Zooming operation : 2 million times
Focusing operation : 4 million times
These phenomena are due to the characteristics
of the built-in lens and are not malfunctions.

Note
• Connect the wire so that it can be insulated
from the ceiling structure. If the ceiling struc-
ture is made of a metallic material, inadequate
insulation with the camera may produce noise
in the video signal.
Rubber seals
(Four on each side)
Ceiling Mount
• Use a wire and ceiling attachment having suf-
ficient length and strength to prevent danger in
case the camera drops.
• A safety wire is not provided. Please use an
appropriate commercially available wire.
2. Attaching the Ceiling Mount to the ceiling.
While taking care not to catch the connection
cables, attach the Ceiling Mount to the ceiling
using four screws (as shown in the diagram).
